C
Visitors often get lost in a foreign(外国的) country. So knowing the way is very important. People in different countries have different ways to show the way.
In Japan, people don't use street names, but they use landmarks in their directions(方向). For example, when you ask the way to a restaurant, the Japanese can say, “Go along this street, and turn left at the hospital. You can see a post office. The restaurant is across from it.”
In the countryside of America, there are not many landmarks, because there are no towns or buildings within miles(英里). If people show you the way, they can say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
How do people in California show the way? They use time, not miles. “Is it far from here to the post office?” you ask. “No,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes’ walk from here.” You ask, “Then how many miles?” They don’t know.
People in Greece are very kind. Most visitors can’t understand the Greek language. If you ask the Greeks for the way, they often say, “Follow me.” Then they can take you through the streets of the city to the place where you want to go.

【解析】
61. 词义猜测题：根据第二段“In Japan, people don't use street names, but they use landmarks in their directions. For example... turn left at the hospital... see a post office. The restaurant is across from it.”可知，日本人指路不用街道名，而是用医院、邮局这类标志性建筑，因此“landmarks”意为“地标”，选A。
62. 细节理解题：根据第二段最后一句“The restaurant is across from it.”（其中“it”指代前文的“post office”），可知餐厅在邮局对面，选A。
63. 细节理解题：根据第三段“In the countryside of America... If people show you the way, they can say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.””可知，美国乡村的人用英里指路，选B。
64. 细节理解题：A选项错误，由第二段可知日本人不用街道名指路；B选项正确，由第五段“If you ask the Greeks for the way, they often say, “Follow me.” Then they can take you through the streets of the city to the place where you want to go.”可知希腊人会带你去目的地；C选项错误，由第四段可知加州人用时间指路；D选项错误，由第一段“Visitors often get lost in a foreign country.”可知游客容易迷路，选B。
65. 主旨大意题：文章第一段最后一句“People in different countries have different ways to show the way.”为核心主旨句，全文围绕不同国家的不同指路方式展开，选B。
