    　　I have a rule for travel：Never carry a map．I prefer to ask for directions．

    　　Foreign visitors are often puzzled 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 to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．”

    　　In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks．There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的)．In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance．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 by means of 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．

    　　People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language．Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me．” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．

    　　Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question．What happens in this 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 think that “I don’t know” is impolite．They usually give an answer, often a wrong one．A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

    　　One thing will help you everywhere－in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place．You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language．He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction．Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!

    A car that runs on coffee is unveiled（shown to the public for the first time）today but at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won’t please any motor industry accountants．
    Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future．The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules （颗粒）．It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can power vehicles．
    The team calculates the Car-puccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee （咖啡粉） — about 56 cups of espressos （浓咖啡） per mile．The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey．In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos, and the team will have to take ‘coffee breaks’ roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules．They will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the ‘coffee filters’ to rid them of the soot and tar which is also generated by the process．So despite a top speed of 60mph, the many stops mean the going will be slow, with the journey taking around ten hours．
    Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel---even though tax collectors at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom haven’t yet worked out how much．
    Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, “Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel．The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns．The brand doesn’t matter．” He said the same technology could be used to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste．
    【小题1】Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?

    A．It should be very dry．B．The stronger, the better．
    C．The smaller the granules are, the better．D．It should be of a certain brand．
    【小题2】What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．All kinds of materials can be used as fuels．
    B．The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon．
    C．Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino
    D．Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino．
    【小题3】The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that ________．
    A．it makes a lot of noise
    B．it runs at a very high cost
    C．it has to stop to be refueled very often
    D．it’s not good enough for long-distance journey
    【小题4】How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?
    A．About 70 kilosB．About 42 kilos．C．About 32 kilosD．About 30 kilos
    【小题5】Why can coffee be used as a fuel?
    A．It looks like wood or coal.B．It contains some carbon content.
    C．It is very cheap.D．It is much better than woodchips or nut shells.

    The story begins with fishing.

    Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).

    The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

    “Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

    Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

    That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

    And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

    1. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?

    A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.

    B. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.

    C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.

    D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.

    2.From the text we know that the father _____.

    A. disliked the huge fish                B. was firm and stubborn

    C. didn’t love his son                  D. always disagreed with his son

    3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.

    A. they might catch a big fish there

    B. he was taught a moral lesson there

    C. it was a most popular fishing spot   

    D. their children enjoyed fishing there

    4.What does the story imply?

    A. An ethical decision is always easy to make.

    B. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.

    C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes

    D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions

    5.What kind of the person the father is?

    A. kind       B. honest        C. optimistic      D. satisfied

    Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about 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 name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks 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.”

    People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.

    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

    Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!

    However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.

    1.Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?

    A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”

    B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”

    C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”

    D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”

    2. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because _________.

    A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance

    B. they prefer to lead you the way

    C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles

    D. they prefer to use body language

    3. Greeks give directions by __________.

    A. using street names         B. using landmarks

    C. leading people the way     D. giving people a wrong direction

    4.Which of the following is NOT true?

    A. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.

    B. People in Yucatan give wrong directions on purpose.

    C. People in some places give directions using landmarks.

    D. People in some places give directions in time. 

    5.What does the writer want to tell us?

    A. It's difficult to travel without a map.

    B. It's important to use body language when you are travelling.

    C. In different countries, there are different styles of directions.

    D. You can't trust everyone when you are travelling.
