The third will be achieved during the Change 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year, China Daily reported.Following the success of the Change missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system(太阳系).

In Japan, people uselandmarksinstead of street names. 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 just across the bus stop.”In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), 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(测量) distance by telling time. “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.People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico(墨西哥), no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan think “I dont know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!One thing will help you everywhere. 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 on in that direction, and you may find the post office!46 .

Whats the main idea of the passage?AThere are not many landmarks in the Midwest of America.BWe neednt carry a map when we travel around the world.CPeople give directions in the same way in different parts of the world.DThere are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.Once a tiger was in a cage(笼).

Please!” the tiger called. “Please, let me out.” “No,” said the good man. “If I do, you will eat me.” “I will not eat you,” the tiger said. “Please let me out.”The good man believed the tiger.

Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask three others. ” the tiger said.The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade (树荫). And yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat you.”Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.”The last one that the good man asked was a road. The road said, “I dont care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a thank you.”The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?”asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story.“I dont understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in a cage?”“No, no,” said the man. “Some other men put him in a cage.”“Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage.”“Silly dog!” the tiger cried. “Dont you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.”“Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.”“I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” with that, he jumped back into the cage. At once, the dog closed the door of the cage. “Oh,” the dog laughed. “At last I understand!”The good man and the dog walked off. The tiger looked sad in the cage.
