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 carefully B. refer to recognizable buildings and placesC. show him a map of the place D. tell him the names of the streets22. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York. B. Kansas. C. Los Angeles. D. Iowa.23. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. in order to save time B. as a test C. for fun D. so as to be polite24. What can we infer from the text?A. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.B. People have similar understandings of politeness.C. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BThe year 2020 saw another boom in TV drama adaptations of online literature. Despite the difficulty of adapting original works, these popular novels on the Internet were screened one by one. Some enjoyed a great success while some were criticized by the audiences.My SunshineMy Sunshine is a TV drama adapted from Gu Mans novel of the same title. It stars Wallace Chuang and Tang Yan, premiering(初次上演) in January, 2020. The drama portrays a man and a womans reunion and long-lasting romance after seven years of separation. The novel itself has been popular on the Internet and was published in 2020. Wallace Chuang soon rose to become a romantic icon among female viewers because of the role he played in the adaptation, presenting an ideal image of lover to the audiences.The Lost tombThe Lost Tomb is an action and adventure TV adaptation of a popular online novel by Xu Lei. This is the first seasonal online TV series in China and the novel is scheduled to be dramatized in eight seasons, one season for each year. The first season was released in June of 2020. The novel series of the same name is about five peoples adventure in ancient tombs, and it enjoyed a wide readership since it was released online in 2020. Thus the adapted TV series had been accordingly highly expected by its fans but turned out to be disappointing. Although there were 24,000,000 hits on the web within the first two minutes of its debut(初次登台), the season was later criticized by the audiences for its weak storyline and poor quality. Some lines of the series even became jokes on the social media.Nirvana in FireNirvana in Fire is also adapted from an online novel of the same name written by Hai Yan, the adaptation for the first time found its way on the screen in September 2020. Staring Hu Ge and Liu Tao, the series shows a talented military strategist endeavoring to clear his name through continuous fights. The fictional characters and dynasty let the adaptation smartly avoid being criticized for not sticking to historical accuracy. And the dramas delicate internal settings and impeccable storyline were highly praised by the audiences.Hua Xu YinHua Xu Yin is about a princess who sacrificed her life for the country but later was saved and began her own adventures with another name. It is also a TV series adaptation of an online novel of the same title written by Tang Qi. The series premiered in July 2020, staring Lin Yuan and Zheng Jiaying. However, it did not get as much attention as its rivals. According to the online critics, the lead roles and their costumes were not appealing enough inthe adaptation.25.Which TV drama failed to live up to the audiences expectation?A. My Sunshine B. Hua Xu Yin C. Nirvana in Fire D. The lost Tomb26. The key to Nirvana in Fires success lies in the elements except _.A. fictional characters and dynasty B. historical accuracyC. delicate internal settings D. perfect storyline27.

The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.Plants love company. When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well. Cold water direct from the tap can have a frightening effect on the roots of delicate plants. Slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals(间隔)- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.28. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to_.A. buy plants that help clean indoor airB. create a new environment with plantsC. put plants on the sunny side of the roomD. make sure of suitable conditions for plants29. Whats the benefit of plants growing together?A. It provides owners good company.B. It helps the air around them slightly wet.C. It makes it convenient to look after them.D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.30. While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?A. Use water that is a little warm.B. Pour the water into the pot holder.C. Give small amount of water at one time.D. Consider further watering in dry weather.31. What is the best time to feed the plants?A. When the soil is dry.B. When their growth is active.C. When the temperature is high.D. When they have just been planted.DAfter a homeless man offered a college student all the money he had so that she could get home safely, the student is paying it forward in a big way.The story happened in December.
