A
  I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to
the post office?"
     Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) 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. lnstead 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(可辨认的) 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. as 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.
B
Mr. Smith talked for the first time about the night when his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what had happened on the night of 13 October, 2008.
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation（手术）. I finally left at about 11 in the afternoon. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible－the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was strange.
When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still upset about what had happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. When I went close to the window, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body. I was too frightened to do anything.
When I gained a bit of consciousness（意识）, the sky was getting light. I couldn’t remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to recall what had happened the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man on the road. What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?
5. Mr. Smith was a __________.
A. doctor B. policeman C. judge D. taxi driver
6. When Mr. Smith got home, he found _______.
A. Ellen waiting for him B. the bed room window closed
C. a burglar（夜贼）in his house D. Ellen lying on the floor, blood all over
7. After he found Ellen dead, Mr. Smith ______.
A. called the police at once B. tried to find out the murderer
C. called out for help D. was so frightened that he could do nothing
8. In this passage, Mr. Smith tried to _______.

The Importance of Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. 16 There will be times when we will face problems and obstacles. The most challenging part is not when our life goes smoothly but how we react when we experience problems and difficulties.
Those who have a positive attitude will treat any problem as a challenge. Instead of being discouraged, they will treat each failure as a lesson. 17 As for those who do not have the positive attitude, they will see problems and difficulties in a different way.
The situation can be the same for both the Guy A and Guy B. 18 Every one of us has the same amount of time. Since having a negative attitude will eat up our time, why don’t we just make good use of the same amount of time to have a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much better if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.
19 People will generally prefer to stay with people who have positive attitudes as being happy is very infectious(富有感染力的). Everybody will be affected by the energy of positive attitudes and they too will have a positive attitude.
If you learn to see the bright side of life when you’re surrounded by difficulties, you’ll be building your positive attitude fast. 20
A. And they will be motivated to achieve the goal.
B. Having good attitudes provides many health benefits.
C. In life, not everything goes as smoothly as we want.
D. But with different attitudes, the results will be quite different.
E. They may have no approaches to solving the problems.
F. When you have a positive attitude towards everything, you will be happier.
G. The more you practice having a positive attitude, the easier and more natural it will come to you.
