五、阅读短文,按要求用英文填空或回答问题。
Here are some different and funny ways of giving directions (指路).
In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions because most streets don't have names. For example, the Japanese will tell you, “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. So when giving directions, people will also tell you the distances (距离). In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles have no idea of distance. They measure (测量) distance in time. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it's about five minutes' walk from here.”
Sometimes people don't know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I don't know.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know”. People there think it is impolite to say “I don't know”. So they usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can easily get lost in Yucatan!
