She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath. “I suppose I had better go to the doctor,” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “ Im not at all surprised,” he said. “Its obvious what your problem is .” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs. Parker,” he said, “you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.” Ellen was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time. The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butchers shop. “Id like ten pounds of steak, please,” she said. “Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale(天平). “Thats just under ten pounds,” he said. “Thats big enough.” Mrs. Parker said. The butcher worked out the price. “At $ 4.99 a pound that will be $ 49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?” “Oh, I dont want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said. “If you dont want to buy it ,” the butcher replied angrily, “why did you ask me to get it for you ?”“My doctor told me that I am overweight and have to lose ten pounds.

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!64. 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. refer to recognizable buildings and places65.

Los Angeles. C. so as to be polite D. for fun67. What can we infer from the text? A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences. B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. C. People have similar understandings of politeness. D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DFinding a job can be tough - especially when youre not looking in the right place. Tight as the job market may seem, some jobs are so hot and growing so quickly that employers are itching (渴望的) to find qualified candidates to fill them. As the American population grows older and more dependent on technology, the number of medical and computer related jobs is escalating rapidly to keep pace with demand. According to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 15 of the 30 fastest-growing jobs in the United States are in healthcare, and another seven are computer-related. Here is a list of some of the fastest-growing jobs in the United States, where qualified applicants, not the employers, have the edge - and the vital facts about each - from the BLSs Occupational Outlook Handbook:Medical Assistants What they do: Perform routine administrative and clinical tasks - from answering phones to explaining medications to patients - to help keep medical practitioners offices running smoothly.
