A
根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。
Why do we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, yijian xiangzuo instead of yijian xiangyou, and shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.
Where to buy things
When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi, instead of mainanbei. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Left or right
In Chinese, we say yijian xiangzuo when we have different opinions. Why is it not yijian xiangyou?
Most people are right - handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hands to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in Chinese, “left” is always thought to be different, such as yijian xiangzuo.
Up or down
We use shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo to mean “go to the bathroom”. Why?
In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house. On maps, north is usually at the top. In Chinese, we talk about “the north” as shang. So people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom rather than going “down” to the bathroom.
()1. In the Tang Dynasty, people usually went shopping in the West Market first.
()2. People think that “left” means being different in Chinese.
()3. In ancient times, Chinese people built their houses with the gates facing south.
()4. On maps, north is usually at the top, so Chinese people describe it as xia.
()5. This passage is mainly about the changes of Chinese words.

#### A
根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）。
为什么我们说“买东西”而不是“买南北”，说“意见向左”而不是“意见向右”，说“上厕所”而不是“下厕所”呢？许多汉语词汇中都包含方位，而其背后隐藏着大量的历史和文化。
购物去处
购物时，中国人会说“买东西”，而不是“买南北”。据说在唐朝，长安有两个很受欢迎的集市。一个叫东市，另一个叫西市。购物时，人们通常先去东市，然后再去西市。随着时间的推移，人们开始用“买东西”来描述购物这件事。
左还是右
在汉语中，当我们有不同意见时，会说“意见向左”。为什么不是“意见向右”呢？
大多数人习惯用右手。如果他们尝试用左手写字或用筷子，会觉得不舒服。在过去也是如此。所以在汉语中，“左”总是被认为代表不同，比如“意见向左”。
上还是下
我们用“上厕所”而不是“下厕所”来表示“去卫生间”。为什么呢？
在古代，房屋的布局遵循一定的方式。房屋的大门会朝南，卫生间在房子的东北部。在地图上，北方通常在上方。在汉语中，我们把“北”称为“上”。所以人们会说他们要“上”卫生间，而不是“下”卫生间。
（ ）1. 在唐朝，人们通常先去西市购物。
（ ）2. 在汉语中，人们认为“左”意味着不同。
（ ）3. 在古代，中国人建造的房屋大门朝南。
（ ）4. 在地图上，北方通常在上方，所以中国人把它描述为“下”。
（ ）5. 这篇文章主要讲的是汉语词汇的变化。
