听力原文：W: Hello, Mark. Have you ever played cricket？

M: No, never. Have you, Joe？

W: No, but I once watched a game at the Cricket Club.

M: Did you enjoy it？

W: 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.

M: It's a bit like baseball, isn't it？

W: Well, not really, In baseball there is only one man with a hat but in cricket there are two.

M: Both at the same time？

W: 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", threws the ball at the stumps. The batsman tries to protect the wicket and hit the ball as far as he can.

M: What happens when he hits the ball？

W: The batsmen run to change positions. That's called a "run". They do it as many times as they can. M: What does the other team do？

W: One of them runs after the ball and throws it at the wicket. If he hits it while the bats-men are still running, one of them is out.

M: That sounds a little like baseball.

W: Not really. I think baseball is more exciting.

M: Yes, so do I.
