I have a rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.
Foreign visitors are often puzzled (迷惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead 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 pass a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat (平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or lowa, 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: the measure (測量) distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happen in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answer, “I don’t know.” They think that it is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get lost in Yucatan.
One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, by maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.

Edison-style light bulb and CFLs |
|
1.About 130 years ago, Thomas Edison of the USA invented the light bulb. Edison’s bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off. 2.The European Union recently decided that by 2009, people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs節能燈). 3.“CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run,” said a British official. CFLs use 67 percent less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to times longer. Scientists say that if everyone used CFLs, electrify use would be cut 18 percent. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases given off. 4.But it’s difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don’t like the CFL bulbs. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL, either. 5.CFLs have been around for several years. However, the older lights still make up about two-thirds of total light bulb sales. | |
A. When to stop to use CFLs | |
B. Edison made the world bright | |
C. The older style lights are still used widely | |
D. The advantages of using CFLs | |
E. The disadvantages of using CFLs. |
