Do you often carry maps when you travel to foreign countries? Maps can show you the right directions．But   1   if you have left the maps somewhere or you haven，t got them? I’m afraid that you’ll have to  2  directions．

    Traveling in Japan，you are often puzzled because most streets there don，t have names．The Japanese use landmarks(界标)in their directions  3  street names．So when you ask“Excuse me．Could you tell me  4  the nearest post office?，，they often say,“Go straight along the road．Take the second turning on the left and  5   a supermarket．The post office is across from the hospital”．

    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   6  .In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say to you，“Go east three miles．Turn north and then walk another mile．You can’t  7  it．”

    People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance of the map：they measure(测量)distance  8  means of time，not miles．“How far away is the nearest post office?”you ask．“Oh，”they answer,“It’s  9  from here．”You say,“Yes，but how many miles away is it?”They have no idea．

    People in Greece(希腊)sometimes do not try to give directions because visitors seldom(很少)understand the Greek language．Instead of giving you the direction，a Greek  10  body language to help you understand directions or he will simply say,“Follow me.”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the City to the post office．
