17.Giving directions in different placesIf 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.(85)D.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).(86)A."
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions.They will often say,"Follow me."(87)E.Sometimes if a 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."(88)C.They usually give an answer,but often a wrong one.A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
(89)B.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 post office!
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.

分析 文章大意:这是一篇日常生活类阅读,主要介绍在不同的国家当你向别人询问邮局怎么去时,会得到不同的指路方式.比如在日本会根据一些路标指路.在美国会说这个地方有多远.在希腊会直接带你去那个地方.在墨西哥通常不说"不知道",他们经常会给一个错误的答案,因此会有很多人迷路,如果语言不通,会使用一些肢体语言来询问或指明道路.
