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

In Japan，people use landmarks(地标)in their directions because most streets don't have names.For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are no towns or buildings in many places.Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas，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.They measure(测量)distance in time，not miles.“How far away is the post office？” you ask.“Oh，” they answer.“It's about five minutes from here.”

It's true that a person doesn't know the answer sometimes.What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，“Sorry，I don't know.” But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers，“I don't know.” People 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.Why do Japanese people use landmarks in their directions?

A.Because they have no idea of distance. B.Because there are no towns or buildings.

C.Because most of the streets have no names. D.Because people don't know the answer.

2.What may happen in Yucatan?

A.People there usually say，“Sorry，I don't know the way.”

B.Local people often give a right answer.

C.People there have no idea of distance.

D.Visitors may lose their way.

3.Which of the following may people in Kansas say?

A.“Turn left at the traffic lights and you will see a school.” B.“It will take one day and a half.”

C.“Turn south and then walk 300 meters.” D.“Go along Autumn Street and turn right at the crossing.”

4.What is the best title for the article?

A.Asking the Way in Different Places B.Getting Lost in Yucatan

C.Traveling in Different Places D.Where is the Post Office?

What subject do you worry about most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very worried during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的）.

"For people who worry about math, posture（姿势）makes a big difference," Erik Peper from

San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right - sitting up straight(直地）can help you do better in math exams.

Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a math test while sitting up straight, or sitting in a slumped-over（趴倒的）position. After the test, 56 percent of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.

Students who were not worried about taking the math exam did not do better from better posture. But they did find that it was more difficult to do math while slumping over, Science Daily reported

Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Runners, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.

1.Which posture can make students do better during math exams?

A. B. C. D.

2.Scientists asked the 125 college students to _________ while they were taking the test.

A.get relaxed B.count numbers

C.think carefully D.sit in different postures

The Year of the Dog has passed，and this year we welcome the Pig！What do you think about pigs? Do you think they're dirty，or that they eat a lot? I wonder if these things are true.

When you see pigs，they are usually in dirty water or mud(泥巴). But pigs would rather stay clean if they could. Pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺)，so during hot days，they have to cool themselves in water or mud. Mud can keep insects(虫子)off of them. It can also protect(保护)their skin from the sun.

If someone is eating a lot，we say they are “pigging out”. Pigs do love eating. But they're still useful to us. Besides eating pork(猪肉)，we also use other parts of pigs. Pig bones and skin are used for glue and shoes. The hair is used for artists' brushes. Pigs are also used to make drugs，such as insulin(胰岛素).

“You are as stupid as a pig！” Are pigs stupid? Pigs are actually very smart animals. The only animals that are smarter than them are humans，primates(灵长类)，dolphins and whales. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats.

For example，pigs have a good sense of smell. They can find things underground. They also help the police sniff out(嗅出)drugs.

1.Why do pigs stay in mud during hot days?

a. Because mud keeps them cool.

b. Because mud can protect their skin from the sun.

c. Because mud can help them sweat.

d. Because mud can keep insects off of them.

A.abc B.abd

C.acd D.bcd

2.What does “pigging_out” mean?

A.Eating a lot. B.Being stupid.

C.Getting dirty. D.Being smart.

3.What do many experts think of pigs?
