26、Brits (英国人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us relying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English. Only half (51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study.

Almost two－thirds (62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages.   So they can better understand a city's culture (38% of respondents), talk with locals (24%) and go beyond the guide book (21%)．

Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday,   particularly when in unfamiliar   surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn't travel because of the problem.

The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.

If languages weren't an issue then one in eight (12%) Brits would visit Japan.   China, Italy and Russia were also popular choices. Despite the communication problem, Japan has seen a 7.5 % increase in the number of British visitors between January and April, compared to this time last year.

“The number of British travelers to Japan has been growing year on year，/” according to Hollie Mantle,   marketing and communication manager for the Japanese Tourist Board. “People are realizing that Japan is one of the most hospitable and beautiful countries on earth, with so many new experiences for travelers to try, not to mention world­class cuisine！/”

They had this message for Brits thinking about visiting：“Though some travelers worry about language barriers, as soon as you arrive in Japan, you'll realize that people will go out of their way to help you enjoy their country.   There really are few ‘barriers’ — road signs and train stations are in English, you'll find that people speak more English than they let on, and even when they don't, they will go above and beyond to help you out./”

27、They had to get many people out of the burning building as quickly as they could. So they told them to jump out of the window.

The first one out of the window was a man. He was followed by his two children. Next, a baby and then the baby’s mother came flying out of the third-storeyed window, all driven by desperation and the smoke that was coming from the apartment. Brian Smith and Corey Boykin helped them all. “We caught everything that came out of the window”. Smith said.

A fire started on the second floor. “I got my family out,” said Smith. “Then I started banging on doors on the first floor. I tried getting to the second floor, but the smoke was too black. I couldn’t see; I couldn’t breathe. So I turned around and came outside. That’s when I saw people hanging out of the window.”

Boykin was at his friend Melanie Nunemaker’s house, across the street from the apartment. He knew something was wrong when he saw a baby drop out of the window. Catching the child below was Smith.

Boykin ran to a nearby house to get a ladder and rushed back to help. He found Smith with his arms outstretched, shouting, “Jump! I get you.” He caught several people.

Boykin climbed the ladder to warn people on the third floor to turn around and come toward him because they couldn’t see through the smoke.

And he wasn’t finished. When Boykin saw his burnt-out neighbors, he took 20 of them back to Nunemaker’s house. “They gave us clothes, shoes, whatever they had —and we didn’t,” one of the neighbors Chase Ray said, “They saved us.”

29、   Sometimes we turn to others for advice on major career decisions. But they may direct us in the wrong direction.

Why does so much career advice end up being misguided? The problem may start with who we turn to for advice.  【1】 I have watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance,forgetting that they were raised in an age when it was common to spend an entire career in one organization.

【2】It’s uncertain that they will know what’s right for us. Advisors often focus too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective(视角).

At some point, you have probably noticed that you are wiser when giving advice to others than you are in making decisions for yourself. You are not alone.  【3】The lesson here is that one of the most effective ways to get better advice is to give it. Sure enough researchers find that our reasoning becomes wiser when we think about our problems from a third person prospective.

Advising others helps us make better decisions. And it also leaves us more motivated(有动力的) to follow through. In one experiment, it was expected that people were more motivated when receiving than giving advice. 【4】  It was people who gave advice who become more motivated.

If you want to get better career advice, you can start by reflecting on what you would tell someone else with a similar question. Listen to the advice you give to others. It’s usually the advice you need to take yourself. 【5】

A.It often happens because we have more distance from other people’s problems than our own.

B.But the opposite was true.

C.However, sometimes we make decisions depending on ourselves.

D.We often listen to the wrong sources.

E.And it might be the best way to motivate yourself, too.

F.But it was easier said than done.

G.What about going to people who are qualified to give advice?
