a new yorker might say, “sorry, i have no idea.” but in yucatan, mexico, no one answers, “i dont know.” a person in yucatan thinks that “i dont 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 persons 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!46. the passage mainly tells us that _.a. there are not many landmarks in the american midwest b its difficult for people to travel in foreign countries c there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world d. new yorkers often say, “i have no idea.” but people in yucatan, mexico never say this47. the passage says, “in japan, people use landmarks in their directions.” the word “landmark” means _.a. street names b. building names c. hotels, markets and bus stopd. buildings or places that are easily recognized(认识)48. in which places do people tell distance by means of time?
