21、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 in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down 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.in order to save time

C.so as to be polite
D.for fun
22、"What is your name?" I asked as I offered the gentleman some freshly made blueberry and banana pancakes. "I go by Mr. X," he told me and gladly accepted the pancakes. He immediately noted, "Now there ' re a lot of blueberries!"
Mr. X told me about a lady who brought him some soup with blueberries, about which he was very happy until he discovered there was only 1 blueberry in the soup. Since he wanted more blueberries in his soup, his solution was to just put the pancakes into his soup. And then he began to talk, and talk, and talk.
As Mr. X would near the end of one story, meaning that he was almost done, he would tail off into another story. He just wanted someone to listen to him. He told me the details of how a friend of his was hit by a car as if he were standing there watching. Nothing he said came without a vivid description. It had to be true, I thought. I just listened. Then, Mr. X began to tell me about the government covering up their knowledge of aliens. I began to think, "Was anything Mr. X was telling me true? Was he making this up?"
He told me that he was nearly hit by a car. I wanted to believe him, but I realized that the truth wasn't really important right now. Mr. X just longed for some company. I was able to provide him with that for nearly an hour. As a matter of fact, Mr. X did indeed have a friend knocked down by a car nearly two years ago. Everything he told me about that event was indeed exact. What' s the difference between reality and invention?
That's not for me to decide. My role was to provide Mr. X with the space to tell his stories. I hope to see him again someday.

23、 In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed to the hobby of eating western-style food.
When eating western-style food, you can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, don’t chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking.
When eating western-style food, you cannot hold the plate when eating; and you cannot stab the food while eating a large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food. That is — drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, hold the spoon with right hand, and the spoon should face the outer side to ladle out the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Don’t make any sound while drinking the soup.
When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already eaten into the mouth cannot be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you don’t like, then you’d better not put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside.
