Visitors to St. Paul’s Cathedral are
sometimes astonished as they walk round the space under the arch to come upon a
statue which would appear to be that of a retired armed man meditating upon a
wasted life. They are still more astonished when they see under it an
inscription indicating that it represents the English writer, Samuel Johnson.
The statue is by Bacon, but it is not one of his best works. The figure is, as
often in eighteenth-century sculpture, clothed only in a loose robe which leaves
arms, legs and one shoulder bare. But the strangeness for us is not one of
costume only. If we know anything of Johnson, we know that he was constantly ill
all through his life; and whether we know anything of him or not we are apt to
think of a literary man as a delicate, weakly, nervous sort of person. Nothing

[单项选择] Passage Three
Many visitors finds the fast pace at
which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to
be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get
where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short
moment.
At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will
push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief
conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that
because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much
