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

    　　 Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name.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. Tun 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 with 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, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.

    Peop;e in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand thi 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 iin that direction, and you may find the post office!

    A.never carry a map for travel

    B.there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest

    C.there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world

    2.In which place do people tell distance by means of time?

          Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no".
         A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
    help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
    home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
    weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
    for"reference". But,you've just finished it after working hard for a
    whole day.
         Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
    to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
    themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
    practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
    German psychologist. "Saying'no'risks losing the affection of the
    person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
    people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
    regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
    a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
    expresses real affection. But,for peop'le accustomed to agreeing every
    request,it's very distressing to say" no".
         Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they'll lose the affection
    of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
    of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
    always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
    in the long term. "
        When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
    calmly until the person gets the message.

    C. they don't care about their own feeling
