| Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't havenames. In Japan, people use landmarks 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 just across the bus stop. " In the Midwest of America, usually there are not 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 distance. In Kansas (堪萨斯州) , 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 (测量) distance by telling time. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "60h," 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 few visitors 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. A New Yorker might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico (墨西哥), no one answers "I don't know. " People in Yucatan think "I don't know" is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan! One thing will help you everywhere. 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 on in that direction and you may find the post office! |

The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English“You speak good English．”But the student answered，“No，no．My English is very poor．”The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer．Thinking he had not made himself 1 (understand)or the student had not heard him clearly，he said，“Yes，indeed，you speak very well．”But the Chinese student still kept 2 (say)“No．”In the end the foreigner gave up and 3 (not know)what to say．
What is wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment(称赞) as the English people 4 (do)．He should have said“Thank you!”instead of“No．”In fact he knew what the American had said．But he was afraid that people would think he was too proud．According to the Western culture，if someone says the dishes you 5 (cook)are very delicious，you 6 (say) “Thank you”．If someone says to a woman“You look so beautiful with the new clothes on”，she should be very happy arid answer“Thank you”．In our country we think being modest (谦虚) is a good thing，but in the west，if you are modest and often say“No”，then the others 7 (agree) that you really cannot do it，and you may 8 (treat)unfairly by others．If asking for a job，one says something like“Yes，I can certainly do it”instead of“Let me have a try on the job．”he or she will expect 9 (get)it．So in the west，one should always be confident．Without self—confidence，he can’t go anywhere．Confidence 10 (be)one of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite hard．

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 dawn 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, usually there are not 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 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 our 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 “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get 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.
