26、I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions 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 countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually 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 or Iowa, 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 distance in time, not miles. “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.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

【1】When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.

A. describe the place carefully

B. refer to recognizable buildings and places

C. show him a map of the place

D. tell him the names of the streets

【3】People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.

D. so as to be polite

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

B. People have similar understandings of politeness.

C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

27、Why do some people enjoy more health and happiness than others? It seems that they are able to realize their dreams rapidly. The good news is that you can be one of those people.【1】. Now consider the following habits of exceptionally happy people from my book Find Your Happy.

Make themselves available to success. Happy people are great goal setters.【2】. This allows them to stand out in different areas of their life. Ask yourself if you are open for opportunities and setting big goals.

Don’t use the word luck. When you look at an exceptionally happy person, you may say, “They are so lucky.” But a conversation with them will reveal that luck is not in their vocabulary. Instead, they believe that passion and persistence equals great results.

【3】. Exceptionally happy people are busy making their goals come true. They understand that spending time arguing with others takes them away from what they care about most. They love hearing people talk about their views, but happy people won’t spend time trying to convince you to adopt their beliefs.

Walk out of their comfort zone and seek risk often.【4】. So they ask for adventure and satisfaction through seeking new experiences. They see risk as growth and are happier because they live a life with no regrets.

Realize there is more to life than being happy. Happy people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about happiness.【5】. Happy people still experience setbacks, but they look at those setbacks as a way to learn more about themselves and to grow. Happiness is not something they seek, as it is a daily practice that never leaves them.

A．Try to be more patient.

B．Don’t try to make you win over with debates.

C．They live in the moment and enjoy the ups and downs of life.

D．I know this is true from personal experience.

E．They work toward their goals daily and see opportunities in everything.

F．Happy people have learned that settling in any area of life will hold them back.

G．Happiness is available, especially when you understand what happiness is.

28、Ways to make a great first impression

You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take a few seconds to make that all-important first impression. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

● 【1】

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 【2】.

● Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 【3】 It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

● Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. 【4】 This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

● Make good conversations

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. 【5】 A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to.

A. Use body language

B. Have a proper handshake

C. Repeat the names and use them later in conversation.

D. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.

E. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.

F. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.

29、Have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.

Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.

So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.

The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.

When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.

【1】What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Funny.   B. Strange.

C. Wrong.   D. Difficult

【2】Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?

A. It was safer to keep on the left

B. It was easier to carry goods.

C. It was easier for them to fight

D. It was necessary to control the horse.

【3】What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?

A. Their sitting position.

B. The road conditions.

C. The number of horses.

D. The products in the wagons.

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

A. UK Drivers Still Go On The Left

B. Why People Like Sitting On The Left Side

C. The History Of Transportation Means

D. The Reasons For Different Driving Sides
