        Giving Directions in Different Places

        If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.

        In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers," Go straight down to the corner. 1 The post office is across from the bus stop."

        In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, "Go north two miles(英里). 2"

        People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." 3

        Sometimes if the person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know."4 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can always get lost in Yucatan!

        5 You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the direction.

    A. Turn east, and then go another mile.

    B. But one thing will help you everywhere.

    C. People there think "I don't know." is not polite.

    D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.

    E. Then he or she will take you through the street of the city to the post office.

        I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

        At first I was paid in candy.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} 

        By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆)ideas.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

        The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn't need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

    A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.

    B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

    C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

    D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

    E. My grandma's trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

    F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

    G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

    阅读短文及文后A~E选项,选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

        Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

        Paper was first created about 2, 000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.

        {#blank#}3{#/blank#}When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

        Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

        Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}No, I don't think the poster about Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!

    A. People learned to write words on paper to make a book.

    B. So will books be replaced by computers one day?

    C. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

    D. Then printing was invented in China.

    E. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
