ABecauseBIfCWhenDAfter三、阅读单选I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of giving directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office?”In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions because most streets dont have names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are no towns or buildings in many places. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas, 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. They measure (测量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask, “Oh,” they answer, “Its about five minutes from here.”Its true that a person doesnt know the answer sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I dont know.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I dont know.” People believe in 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 .

Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale，one right in his own neighborhood.It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jakes hometown. All the local people rushed out to. the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show，better than a movie，but nothing theyd have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction，directly towards land. It came in with the waves，and when the waves receded, its huge body on the sand. Suddenly，Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water，but it was no use. An animal rescue（营救）service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery，to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldnt do much on the beach，so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least，Jake thought，they could help in some way. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea.

So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them dont have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the worlds second worst tourists.If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.35 .
