Americans think that travel is good for you . Some even think it can help to solve one of the country’s worst problems ---crime .

Crime worries a lot of people . Every year , the number of crimes goes up and up . They often come from sad homes , with only one parent at all . There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs(毒品).

There are many young criminals in prison . But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent will go back to crime after they are out of prison .

One man , Bob Burton , thought of a new idea . In the old days , young men had to live a hard life on the road . They learnt to be strong and brave , and to help their friends in time of danger . This helped them to grow into men . So Bob started “Vision Quest ”.

He takes young criminals on a long , long journey with horses and wagons(四轮马车) 3,000 miles through 7 states . They are on the road for more than one year .

The young people on “Vision Quest ”all have bad problems . Most of them have already spent time in prison . This is the last chance .

It’s hard work on the road . The day starts before the sun comes up . The boys and girls have to feed the horses . Some of them have never loved anyone before . But they can love their horses . That love can help them to a new life .

Not all young people in “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind them , 30 or 40 percent will be in the prison again . But that’s a lot better than 60 to 70 percent . Bob is right . Travel can be good for you .

Even today , Americans still say , “ Go west , young men . ”

British English and American English

For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation (发音) is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “car”and “farm”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour” are British English spellings. “Color” and “honor” are American English spellings.
These differences are in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary. However, they are not important. For the most part, British English and American English are the same language.

Andy was born in China 17 years ago. In 2007, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans:

About money

Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.

The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

About friends

Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usuaolly enjoy knwing more about their children’s friends in many different ways, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.

About education

Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many American parents think there is no need to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.

Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.

　　The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman， on the other hand， likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会)， Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.

In the USA， it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan， it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly， the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However， this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

1.What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

A. Their different ways of doing business.

B. Their different lifestyles.

C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.

D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.

2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?

A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.

B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.

C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.

D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.

3.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.

B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.

C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.

D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.

4.From the passage we can infer(推断) that __________.

A. Japanese businessmen are good at business

B. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business

C. foreign businessmen must be more polite

D. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed
