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!56. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually_ .

(B)History has arrived Nine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through a magazine. But the African-American boy was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that promised to make him white. For the first time, the boy began to doubt who he was. “I stood in front of the mirror and wondered if something was wrong with me, ”Obama said. However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesnt see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his career. In January, 2009, Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the US. He defeated John MaCain in a landslide (压倒性的) victory. Obamas story starts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia. At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii where his sense that he didnt belong grew. At his class a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to his classmates that his father was prince, “I kept asking who I am and I ended up trying drugs and drinking, ”Obama recalled. Things came to change after the young man made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator(参议院) in US history. At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably(赞同地). Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither “black” enough nor white enough. But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: “There is not a black America, an Asian America. Theres the United States of America. ”Barack Obamas victory is “a historic victory that promised change and overcame centuries of prejudice(偏见). His success fulfilled Martin Luther Kings dream that a man be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character, ” wrote ABC news. 63.

(C) Traveling in Vietnam(越南) was like visiting a mysterious neighbor. You have lived next door to each other for years but knew very little about what happened on the other side of the fence. I traveled there last August. A simple 180-kilometre trip from a Chinese border town to Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, took an adventurous eight hours. Thats because the country still doesnt have a modern expressway system. The major passage going through the peninsula(半岛) is only a two-way road. Also, many areas are mountainous. Vietnamese drivers are impatient and fearless. They compete with each other at full speed no matter how scared the passengers feel. When the bus shook us violently many times, the driver made a joke to make us feel better. “See, this is just a gift Vietnamese people give you, a free passage service. ” It was midnight when I reached the hotel. Turning on the television, I was surprised by something: All the characters in the TV dramas spoke in the same voice. At present, modern Korean dramas and historical Chinese dramas are popular with the Vietnamese. But it seemed they didnt have enough money to dub(配音)all these programmes. So, the same boring woman would appear behind every drama to speak for the roles. The next morning when I opened the window, I found myself in a huge “garden”. The buildings in the streets were dressed in all kinds of colors you can imagine. Vietnamese residents are allowed to paint their houses as they like. Each one is different and the colors bring the city alive. 67Before the author traveled in Vietnam, he_ . A. had known a lot about the neighboring country B. knew little about the neighboring country C. had thought he would have a chance to visit the c
