When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story    1        for the English? This is a question    2         is not so    3        (fool) as it may seem, for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story than to the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story         4          (solve), but do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition is used before a certain word in the speech of a certain character.

Of course, if you want to know the story only, you need not    5      (bother) about the language. But a student of English is different    6         a student of stories or   7        is called the general reader. As you may also have learned from the above, you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud           8           you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it    9      (be) your own. On    10       hand, this will teach you many useful words and phrases; on the other hand, it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression.

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) 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 Midwest, there are not usually 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 in 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.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a 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 believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.

2.What is the place where people measure distance in time?

3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.

4.What can we infer from the text?

---You haven't lost the concert ticket, have you?

--______. I know it is not easy to get another one at the moment, but nowhere can I find it．

A．No, I haven't                           B．I don't hope so

C．Yes, I'm afraid so                        D．I hope not

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

   Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.

   All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

   It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

   “When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

   “I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

   Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

   Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

   To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
