I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（风格）of directions every time I 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. 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’ is 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. order to save time B. to cheat him
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 .

Earlier this month, blogger Lisa Henderson announced that she and her husband John had decided not to have Christmas. The family, who lives in Utah, will still put up decorations, but presents from Santa are a no-go this year.
“John and I feel like we are fighting a very hard uphill battle with our kids when it comes to their rights,” Henderson wrote on her blog. “It is one of the biggest struggles as a parent these days in middle class America. Our kids have been acting so ungrateful lately. ... John said, “We shouldn’t just celebrate Christmas. And, so that’s what we did.”
Instead, the Hendersons are putting the money they would have spent on gifts toward service projects in order to teach their three sons the “pleasure of giving.” The children will still receive gifts from grandparents and other family members, but this year, she said, their letters to Santa will be asking him to find someone who needs presents more than they do.
In an interview with ABC News, 11-year-old Caleb Henderson admitted that he and his brothers had been behaving badly. “We would hit each other. We were fighting and crying,” he admitted, and Lisa said that when she broke the news to her sons, they cried pretty hard.
But so far, Henderson told Fox News last week, the family is having a sudden turning this into a different kind of gift. They have already held a clothing drive and sent boxes of clothes and candy to a village in the Philippines that was hit hard last year by Typhoon Haiyan.
“The children were excited and kept wanting to give more and more,” she reported on her blog.
Many readers responded positively to Henderson’s post. Some sharing their own stories of limiting Christmas in order to teach their children to be charitable(仁慈的) or grateful. “As parents you’re giving your kids something so much more special than a bunch of gifts on Christmas,” one wrote.
But Henderson received negative follow-ups as well on her blog. Responding to critics, she updated her blog with a statement that reads, in part:
I just wanted to explain a couple of things. First, my kids are in no way hurt for things.... They have reacted by making gifts for each other and packing them into each other’s stockings stealthily(偷偷地). They are learning exactly what we wanted them to learn, because they are not moving around feeling sorry for themselves. They are thinking of others.
The second thing I wanted to explain is why I wrote this post. Some people seem to think I wrote this for attention. Ummm, the attention you get from posts like this is not good and actually extremely difficult to deal with.... The reason I wrote this post is I want to empower parents to feel like it’s okay to take a stand. ... I wanted to share what we are doing, so any parents that feel they are struggling with the same issues in their home can see what others are doing and get ideas for their family. My intention is to help support other parents and to raise amazing kids.
1.The Hendersons decided not to spend Christmas because_______.
A. they wanted to make their kids understand the pleasure of giving
B. their kids could receive presents from their other family members
C. the struggling couple tried to save some money to buy kids gifts
D. the whole family would go to the disaster areas in the Philippines
2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by_______.
A. when Lisa told the kids they didn’t spend Christmas, they felt extremely sad
B.all the kids let out an excited cry when Santa sent them Christmas presents
C. the moment Lisa said the Philippines was hit by typhoon, they burst into tears
D. when their grandparents didn’t send them gifts, the kids couldn’t help crying .
3.From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that_______.
A. the writer wants to share his experiences of raising amazing kids
B. educating kids needs regular communication and great patience
C. the writer strongly called on people to care for the unfortunate
D. parents should praise children for their kindness to other people
4.Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Why These Parents Decided Not To Celebrate Christmas.
B. How Americans usually Spend A Traditional Christmas.
C. A Hard Battle between Kids And Parents At Christmas.
D. What American People Do To Have A Nice Christmas.
