I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time when 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 （地標）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．show him a map of the place

C．tell him the names of the streets

D．refer to recognizable buildings and places

2．What is the place where people measure distance in time?

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

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

A．in order to save time                                          B．a(chǎn)s a test

C．so as to be polite                                         D．for fun

4．What can we infer 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.

A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting．

I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task．It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be．I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point．

It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails．There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces．

As a child visiting my father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”．

All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey．Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen．

I don’t buy it．

I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does．For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting．

What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy．That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings．However，they have worked in many school systems．

1．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?

A．He had worked with his colleague long enough．

B．His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful．

C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible．      

D．He still had a 1ot of work to do．

2．People working together in an office used to ____________．

A．talk more about handwriting                         B．take more notes on workdays

C．know better one another's handwriting          D．communicate better with one another

3．The author’s father wrote notes in pen _________．

A．to both his family and his staff                            B．to his family in small letters

C．to his family on the fridge                            D．to his staff on the desk

4．According to the author，handwritten notes _______．

A．a(chǎn)re harder to teach in schools                       B．a(chǎn)ttract more attention

C．a(chǎn)re used only between friends                      D．carry more message

5．We can learn from the passage that the author __________．

A．thinks it impossible to teach handwriting       B．does not want to lose handwriting

C．puts the blame on the computer                    D．does not agree with Florey

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans, day and night: “Sorry．”

  One time as I was walking on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing against my handbag．Even as he continued on his way, he turned back and said “sorry” to me．Even in a rush, he didn’t forget to apologize．

  One day, after I bought a mango, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped to the ground．“I’m sorry,” he said while bending down to pick it up．I was puzzled ----- why would he apologize when it was my fault?

    Another time, I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator．At the same time, we both said “sorry”．I thought it interesting: was it really necessary for him to apologize?

    Later on, an American friend explained to me that according to the American mentality, the escalator is a public place, and everyone should be able to stand in it．After someone occupies a position in the elevator, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand, isn’t it necessary to express an apology?

    If you go to the movies and the tickets happen to be sold out, the ticket seller will say: “Sorry, the tickets are sold out．”

    Whenever one of your hopes goes unfulfilled, an American will say “sorry”, as a sign of sympathy．

    During my stay in America, I often came across situations in which I was supposed to say “sorry”．Gradually I realized that when friction occurs in daily life, Americans don’t care much about who is responsible; if someone important and she is very busy, the secretary will say: “sorry．”

  If someone is troubled, a “sorry” is always necessary．When this happens, even if the other person is hurt, the “sorry” cools tempers ----- and human generosity is displayed．Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or streets of America．

1．When the salesman gave me the change, _____．

A．I intentionally didn’t accept it

B．he intentionally didn’t pass it to me

C．I was a little slow than the salesman to accept it

D．he was slow to give than I accept it

2．Why the man on whose feet I stepped apologized to me?

A．Because the elevator is a public place．

A.      B．Because the man is afraid of me．

C．Because the “sorry” he said to the author was intended to say to another people．

D．Because there is not enough place to get my feet in so I have to step on his feet．

3．The author cites （引用） several examples to show that ______．

     A． the Americans are friendly             B．the Americans are kind

     C． the Americans are generous            D．All of the above

4．What is the author’s tone to American’s “sorry”?

   A． Neutral        B． Negative        C． Unnecessary        D． Approving
