The pub, unlike the bar in the U.S., is a focal【C1】______ for the "locals." One goes to the pub for the same reasons one used to go to church: for fellowship and spiritual【C2】______ . There is nothing flashy or plastic about most pubs. Many look like one’s living room, full of soft chairs, couches, a fireplace, and bright lights. The pubs keep【C3】______ hours, too.

The same control that is found in English pubs and humor is also found in the English【C7】______ of living. Where else does one stand in line quietly for the bus or the taxi?
However, there is another side to the English Character—the【C8】______ the adventurous, and the innovative. It was not the U.S. but conservative England that produced the Beatles with their long hair and sounds that have【C9】______ a decade of rock musicians and adolescents.
