听力原文：M1: Hello, Sandy. Have you ever played cricket? M2: No, never. Have you, Jim? M1: No, but 1 once watched a at the Cricket Club. M2: Did you enjoy it? M1: No, not much, though everybody else seemed to. I found it very slow. Nothing much seemed to happen. Perhaps that was because I didn't really understand what was going on. M2: It's a bit like baseball, isn't it? M1: Well, not really. In baseball there is only one man with a bat but in cricket there are two. M2: Both at the same time? M1: No. They take turns. They each stand at one end of the pitch in front of some sticks called 'stumps' or the 'wicket'. A member of the other team, the 'bowler',, throws the ball at the stumps. The batsman tries to protect the wicket and hit the ball as far as he can. M2: What happens when he hits the ball? M1: The batsmen run to change positions. That's called a 'run'. They do it as many times as they can. M2: What does the other team do? M1: One of them runs after the ball and throws it at the wicket. If he hits it while the batsmen are still running, one of them is out. M2: That sounds a little like baseball. M1: Not really. I think baseball is more exciting. M2: Yes, so do I. What does Jim think of cricket?
