12、六頁A Gambling PeopleFrom racetracks to lotteries, gaming machines and casinos, gambling is one of the most distinctive aspects of Australian life. Australians are such enthusiastic gamblers.

18、sadly lack the bump of veneration. Para 10共九十六頁No appreciation to the things old and customsWe are young, and that is the key-note to this lack of appreciation of things old and customs venerated by our fathers.
