every time i ask “how can i get to the post office?”foreign tourists are often confused in japan because most streets there dont 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 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, “its about five minutes from here.” you say, “yes, but how many miles away is it?” they dont know.its true that a person doesnt 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 dont know.” people in yucatan believe that “i dont know” is impolite. they usually give an answer, often a wrong one. a tourist can get very, very lost in yucatan!21. when a tourist asks the japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _. a. describe the place carefullyb. show him a map of the place c. tell him the names of the streetsd.

lonely. i had the lonely childs habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and i think from the very start my literary ambitions（文学志向） were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤独） and undervalued. i knew that i had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and i felt that this created a sort of private world in which i could get my own back for my failure in everyday life. however, the quantity of serious writing which i produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. i wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. i cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had chair-like teeth - a good enough expression. at eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, i wrote a poem which was printed in the local(地方的）newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of kitchener. from time to time, when i was a bit older, i wrote bad and usually unfinished nature poems. i also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. that was the total of the would-be serious work that i actually set down on paper
