26、 根据下列材料,请回答26-45题:
I don’t know what it is about English pubs that I find so disappointing. 26 , pubs are supposed to be the Englishman’ s 27 meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends 28 a glass of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business or whatever else 29 his thoughts.You notice that the pub is the Englishman’ s meeting place, not the English-woman’s.Even in our liberated times it is still not quite 30 for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to 31 and protect her.Perhaps that’ s partly 32 pubs disappoint me--they are 33 mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty 34 . I think this male-dominated atmosphere 35 reminds me of being back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an 36 I much want to relive.
However, I’ m 37 in the minority.Most Englishmen have their local, where they can escape from the 38 of family life or work, and if they are 39 , tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. 40 , many men dream of retiring from their nine-to-five jobs and 41 a little country pub, where they imagine they’ ll be the 42 of a seven-nights-a-week party.This 43 usually dies when they think of having to clean up spilled beer at one o’ clock in the morning.
Still, there’ s a pub for every type of man, and a man for every type of pub.And I must 44 that, for someone who doesn’ t like them, I’ ve 45 a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.
