One day a man was walking in the street when he met a penguin (企鵝)．It was a handsome and very brave bird． It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man, because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he went．This was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尷尬的)．

“Go away, you silly bird, ’’the man said to the penguin, but the bird ignored him. It simply would not leave him alone．Wherever he went, the bird went too. At last, in desperation (絕望) the man walked into a police station．“Excuse me, officer．” he said． “I need some advice. I met this penguin in the street and I don’t know what to do with it．”

A bored policeman looked up from what he was writing and said, “Just take it to the zoo, sir．’’

“Oh，all right．’’said the man．

The next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman he’d spoken to the day before．The policeman was not pleased to see them．“I thought I advised you to take that animal to the zoo, ” he said．

“Well, yes, officer, you did．And I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time． But we can’t go to the zoo every day．I thought today I'd take him to the movies．’’

1.Which of the following expressions can be used to describe the penguin?

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（風(fēng)格）of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地標(biāo)）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 past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat；in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, 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; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’ is about five minutes from here.” You say , “Yes , but how many miles away is it ?”They don’t know .

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes . What happens in such a situation ? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry ,I have no idea .” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one .A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan !

1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ____________.

A. describe the place carefully

B. show him a map of the place

C. tell him the names of the streets

D. refer to recognizable buildings and places

2.What is the place where people measure distance in time ?

A. New York. B. Los Angeles.

C. Kansas. D. Iowa

3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _____________.

A. order to save time B. to cheat him

C. so as to be polite D. for fun

4. What can we infer from the text ?

A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences .

B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly .

C. People have similar understandings of politeness .

D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors .

Whether it be a fast walk for part of your lunch, or a quick work out during the tea break in the afternoon, it will surely do you good．Exercise fills the body with positive energy that you will be projecting throughout the day．Good health is not just an important part of living well —it also happens to be an instant confidence builder．

4. Involve yourself in a social activity that you normally wouldn't

4. Putting yourself out in the world forces you to face situations and meet people．In this way you can slowly build your confidence so you can find your place in it．This is one of the most rewarding things you can do．

5. Knowledge is power．

You have to keep feeding your mind. 5. So whether it's a new language, a new skill, or a new hobby - sign up for something this week that will broaden your knowledge, skill level and happiness．Learning something you can be proud of and providing you happiness is an immediate confidence builder and the recipe for success．
