  People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child-care.

  These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother's Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(公墓).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

  Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”.Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, another stores do lot off business during these holidays.

  I have a rule for travel:Never carry a map.I prefer to ask for directions.

  Foreign visitors are often puzzled 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 pass a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

  In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks.There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的).In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance.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 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 don’t know.

  People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language.Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

  Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question.What happens in this 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 think that “I don’t know” is impolite.They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

  One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place.You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language.He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!

(1)

[  ]

never carry a map for travel

there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest

C.

there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world

American Midwest.

C.

Los Angeles, California.

D.

Greece.

(3)

In the passage, ________ countries are mentioned by the writer.

[  ]

A.

seven

B.

four

C.

eight

D.

five

(4)

Which of the following is wrong?

[  ]

A.

Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questions about directions.

B.

A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

C.

People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by means of time.
