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

Foreign tourists are often puzzled 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 examples, 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 (估量) 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 place, they usually _________.

A. tell him the names of the streets

B. show him a map of the place

C. describe the place carefully

D. refer to (意指)clear buildings and places

【2】What is the place where people show distance in time?

A. New York.  B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.

【3】Usually, People in Yucatan give a tourist a wrong answer _________ instead of saying “I don’t know”.

A. to save time  B. as a test

C. to be polite D. for fun

【4】What can we learn from the text?

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

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

C. People have similar understandings of politeness.

D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

27、Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways?

Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, hides its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others hide their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.

As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.

【1】Why are some animals dishonest according to the animal experts?

A．To talk.

B．To survive.

C．To tell jokes.

【2】A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.

A．pretending to be hurt

B．getting closer to its young

C．driving away the adult predator

【3】By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky”, the writer means ________.

A．chimps are ready to attack others

B．chimps are sometimes dishonest

C．chimps envy the winners of the fight

【4】We can know from the passage that ________.

A．all the animals survive by fooling other animals.

B．some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.

C．the losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner’s hand.

【5】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．Do animals lie?

B．How do animals learn to lie?

C．How does honesty help animals survive?

28、短文填词

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some  【1】  to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like  【2】  a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
