| Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different "styles"(方式) of directions (方向)every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?" Foreign tourists are often confused (迷惑的) in Japan because most streets there don"t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) 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." People in Los Angeles(洛杉矶), the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance (距离)by time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it"s about five minutes from here." You don"t understand completely, "Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?" To this question you won"t get an answer, because most probably they don"t know it themselves. People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, "Follow me." Then he"ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. Sometimes a person doesn"t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don"t know." People there believe that "I don"t" is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It"s body language. | |||
| 1. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions? | |||
| A. "Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile." B. "Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you." C. "The post office is about five minutes from here." D. "The post office is at Street Kamira." | |||
| 2. People in Los Angeles don"t give directions in miles because ______. | |||
| A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance B. they prefer to lead you the way C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles D. they prefer to use body language | |||
| 3. Greeks give directions by ______. | |||
| A. using street names B. using landmarks C. leading people the way D. giving people a wrong direction | |||
| 4. Where is Yucatan? | |||
| A. In the USA. B. In Japan. C. In Greece. D. In Mexico. | |||
| 5. Which of the following is NOT true? | |||
| A. People in Yucatan always give right directions. B. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world. C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions in time. D. A person"s body language can help you understand directions. | |||

| When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it"s so-and-so"s fault. "or "I know I"m late, but it"s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner"s key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about - creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just s  tepping stones for success. | |||
| 1. According to the passage, winners . | |||
| A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame others rather than themselves | |||
| 2. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . | |||
| A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider | |||
| 3. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should . | |||
| A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibility C. tell him  to find the cause of the problem D. ask another person for help | |||
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? | |||
| A. Winner"s Secret. B. A Winner"s Problem. C. A Winner"s Opportunity. D. A Winner"s Achievement. | |||
