visitors are often confused 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 past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Mid-west, usually there are not many landmarks.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance.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 a 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 usually don't know.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because not many visitors can understand the Greek language.Instead of giving you directions, a Greek will often say,“Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.One thing will help you everywhere in Japan, in the US, in Greece, or in any other place.You may not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language.He will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!21.The underlined word “landmarks” means “______”.A.streets B.buildingsC.hotels, markets and bus stops D.buildings that are easily recognized(认出) 22.If you ask people in Los

American first cuts up all his meat, then places his knife down on the right of his plate, takes his fork in his right hand and with his fork puts the food into the mouth.He will have coffee half way through his dinner before the pudding (布丁,一种甜点).The Englishman drinks his coffee after the dinner.And, of course, Americans are coffee-drinkers rather than tea-drinkers.The Englishman would be shocked (震惊) at the American's idea of how tea should be made.The popular way to make tea is to take a cup or a pot of hot water and drop a cotton bag into it with tea left in it.For a change they will sometimes put a pan of water on the electric stove (炉子), and just as the water gets warm, throw in some tea and then pour the mixture into a tea pot, pour it into a cup (or glass) and drink it without turning a hair.26.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Neither the well-mannered Englishman nor the well-mannered American holds his knife in his left hand.B.Both Englishmen and Americans take

“Hello”,“Hi” or maybe “The Brown's Residence (住处)”,but d on't fool around with the greeting.It might be an important person on the other end.3.If the speaker doesn't introduce himself/herself, say, “May I ask who's speaking?” In this way you will not offend him/her.4.32If you talk too soon, you might even leak out some personal details to the speaker which you don't want strangers to know.5.33Don't even answer an unknown person unless you want some more information on why he/she is calling.If they keep asking, be careful and just politely say,“I'm sorry sir/madam, I'm quite careful of giving away my personal deta ils.”6.If the person he/she is calling for is not at home or is unavailable to speak, tell the caller,“I'm sorry, he/she is not available right now.May I take a message?”34In this way, if it is an important call, the issue can be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible.7.When the conversation is over, politely say,
