Who says that skirts are only for girls？Men can also wear them．Scotsmen（苏格兰人）have worn them for （36）hundreds．of years．They call their skirts kilts（苏格兰方格呢短裙）．A kilt is a colored skirt．It reaches down to the knee．It （37）has different colored checks（方格）on it，like red or blue．Some families in Scotland have their （38）own colors and styles．From the kind of kilt they wear，you can tell （39）which group they come from．
The kilt goes back to the 1720s．Many Scottish soldiers used （40）to wear them．Later，many Scottish men wore them．Today the kilt can't （41）be seen much in Scotland，many people don't like wearing them．（42）However，in some parts of the country you can still see some older men wearing kilts．Most Scottish men think
that the kilt is an important dress for ceremonies（仪式）．Kilt （43）makers always have new ideas．For example，some modern designs have a pocket （44）for a mobile phone．
Now we can see the kilts in many other parts of the world．In China，you may find some Scottish restaurants．（45）If you know a little about Scottish restaurants，the history of Scottish kilts will make you learn more．

5．Giving directions in different places
If 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．（83）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）．（84）A"
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions．They will often say，"Follow me．"（85）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．"（86）C They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
（87）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！
