Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 41 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 42 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 43
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. 44 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
45 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A．Turn east, and then go another mile.
B．But one thing will help you everywhere.
C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers.

Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 41 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 42 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 43
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. 44 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
45 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A．Turn east, and then go another mile.
B．But one thing will help you everywhere.
C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers.
F．Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.

51．句意：问候之后，应该立刻将礼物递给主人。根据主语“the gift”和谓语动词“pass”是逻辑上的动宾关系可知应用被动语态，其结构是“be+动词的过去分词”，而should“应该”，情态动词，后接动词原形。故填be passed。
52．句意：要记得，通常中国人不会在送给他礼物的人的面前打开礼物。根据“...gives it”是person的定语从句可知此处应填一个关系词，先行词person是人，故填who/that。
53．句意：为了表示尊敬，解释是什么礼物可能是必要的。根据此句是“it is+adj.+to do”结构可知此句是动词不定式作真正的主语，故填to explain。
54．句意：主人通常通过打扫房屋和做许多美味的菜肴做充分的准备。make preparations“做准备”固定搭配，故填preparations。
55．句意：尽管很好地准备了饭菜，但是主人仍然可能对客人礼貌地说，“请原谅招待不周。”根据“the meal is well prepared”和“Please excuse me for my poor treat”是转折关系可知，此处需填表示转折关系的连词，although/though符合语境，故填Although/Though。
56．句意：作为一个客人，你应该通过赞赏食物使主人相信有足够的可供你享用的食物。根据“you should make the host believe that there is plenty to eat by admiring the food.”可知通过赞赏食物让主人觉得他们招待周到是一个作为客人的礼仪，故填As。
57．句意：作为一个传统，当吃饭时年龄大的人会用筷子为客人夹一些食物并且让客人多吃一些。空前是冠词a,此空应填名词。故填tradition。
58．句意：但是现如今，年轻一些的人更少以这个传统方式去做。根据“the younger people”可知，此句是和上句的年龄大一些的人的行为作比较，所以应用比较级，故填less。
59．句意：他们不必太认真地对待它并且他们可以尽量找一个适当的时间离开。take...seriously“认真地对待”，固定短语。故填seriously。
60．句意：那并不意味着早走总是一个好主意，因为主人可能感觉客人对他们的招待不满意。空处为主语，leave“离开”，动词，动词作主语应用动名词，故填leaving。
