Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She couldn’t walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath. “I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “I’m not at all surprised.” he said. “It’s obvious what your problem is.” He examined her and gave her some advice. “If you don’t do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.” Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor’s. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.
The next day she went to shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher’s shop. “I’d like ten pounds of steak.” she said. “Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found
a large piece of steak. He brought the large piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale（天平）. “That’s just under ten pounds.” he said. “That’s big enough.” Mrs Parker said. The butcher worked out the price. “At ＄4.99 a pound and that will be ＄49.50. please. Would you like me to cut it into smaller pieces for you?”“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said. “If you don’t want to buy the meat ,” the butcher replied angrily. “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”
“My doctor told me that I’m overweight and have to lose ten pounds. I want to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like.”
5. Why did Ellen Parker visit the doctor?

I traveled a lot and I found out different “styles”（风格）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（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down 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 American Midwest, there are usually not many landmarks. There is no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns and buildings within miles. Instead
of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north for 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 asked. “Oh, ” they answer, “it’s 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 may not 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 Y ucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give one answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan.
9. When a tourist ask a Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually____.
A.describe the place carefully
B.show him the map of a place
C.tell him the names of the streets
D.refer to recognizable buildings and places
10.What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York
B. Los Angeles
C. Kansas
D. Iowa
11. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer____.
A. in order to save time
B. Los Angeles
C.so as to be polite
D.for fun
12. 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.
D

I learned early in life that I had to be more patient and little aggressive. From the time I was about four until I was about six, I destroyed each of my toy. I was happy when the toys worked, but when things did wrong, I got angry and broke it. For a while parents bought me new toys. But before long they began to see which was happening. When I tear apart my fifth birthday toy train, my father said, "That's it. No more
toys to you." My punishment lasted a year. Meanwhile, I found out that with more patience I must make my toys to last. My attitude changed from then on.
