         Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years,they had been getting along very well.

         Then their good relationship (关系) broke. It began with a small thing,then bitter (仇恨的) words,and then weeks of silence (沉默) . One morning John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob ,” John thought.

         Then one day there was a knock.on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the doorway.

         “I'm looking for a few days’ work ,” the carpenter said.

         “I do have a job for you ,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug (挖) a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence (栅栏) -an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour! ”

         The carpenter said ,“I think I know what to do,sir,and I'll be able to do a job that makes you happy."

         About sunset when the farmer returned,the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!

         It was a bridge!And the neighbour,Bob,was coming across,with his hand outstretched (伸出) .“Hi,John!You’re quite a guy to build this bridge! ”

          Then they met in the middle,taking each other's hands. “I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other ,” said Bob.

          Then they turned to see the carpenter,who was ready to go. “No,wait!Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you”’ said John. “I'd love to stay,” the carpenter said , “but I have more bridges to build."

        I have a rule for travel—  never carry a map. I prefer to ask for direction.

        Foreign visitors are often puzzled (闲惑的) in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan,people use landmarks 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 country of the American Midwest,usually there are not 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,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 (测量) distance by telling time. “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 Mexico never answer “I don't know." People in Yucatan think that “I don't know^J, is not polite. They usually give an answer,often a wrong one. A visitor can get very,very lost in Yucatan!

       One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person's words,but maybe you can understand his or her 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!

   B. People in some places give directions in miles,but people in other places give directions by telling time.

   C. A person's body language can help you understand directions.

        Do you get enough sleep? With so much homework,it’s often difficult to get the rest you need. But you need to try,because sleep keeps you healthy and it stops you from getting fat. Recently,a group of US scientists did a study of kids aged between 8 and 13. The study found that if kids sleep for just one extra hour each day,the chance of their getting fat is cut by about 30 percent.

        Why? When people don't get enough sleep,they become tired. When they are tired,they don't exercise enough. Also,kids like snacks. If they are awake (醒) one more hour or two each day,they have more time to eat snacks or other unhealthy foods.

        So,how much sleep should you get? Scientists suggest (建议) 10 to 11 hours a night for kids aged 5 to 12. For older kids,eight to nine hours wijl do.
