21、I have a rule for travel-never carry a map. I prefer to ask for direction.

Foreign visitors are often puzzled (困惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the country of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure (测量) distance by telling time. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

People in Mexico never answer “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!

【1】What do you think the word “landmarks” means? It means ________.

A．street names

B．building names

C．hotels, markets and bus stops

D．buildings or places which are easily seen

【2】In which place do people tell distance by telling time?

A．Japan.

B．The American Midwest.

C．Los Angeles, California.

D．Mexico.

【3】Which of the following is wrong?

A．Travelers can learn about people’s customs (习俗) by asking questions about directions.

B．People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by telling time.

C．A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

D．People in different places always give directions in the same way-they use street names.

22、

24、   This is a story that happened in the south of Russia. A mother woke up one day and found that her body couldn't move. She was sent to the hospital and soon she knew that she couldn't move because of a sudden illness. In doctors' opinion, she had no hope of getting well.

25、In China, when you refuse someone, he or she might be described as "吃闭门羹" ("eating a bowl of door-closing thick soup"). What is the story b【1】 this saying?

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty (618– 907), there lived a beautiful woman c【2】 Shi Feng. Many young men wanted to m【3】 her. But Shi was hard to c【4】. She asked her admirers(倾慕者) to show her poems that they had written. She did this to see i【5】 they were talented(有天赋的). If Shi liked someone’s poems, she would a【6】 to meet him. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t meet them. But then, to be p【7】, she would at least give them a bowl of geng (羹) to eat. Geng is a type of thick s【8】. It is usually made with grain, fruit or vegetables.

As time passed, "eating a bowl of thick soup" came to mean "being refused". The dish was also nicknamed "door-closing thick soup", since Shi would not open her door for people who r【9】 the dish.
