10、most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks 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

11、 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

12、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, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how m

13、any miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt 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 dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impo

14、lite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!21.

New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BTowards evening, Jennifer was walking on the beach with a gentle breeze

17、 blowing through her hair. Looking up at the golden red sun ball, she was surprised by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. This was what she needed. “Its getting la

18、te,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow 163, where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walke

19、d slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters, she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now. She wished she had her favorite coat on. It might keep her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought dissipated(消散) when she finally saw her front door. It see

20、med different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and nowShe entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen and saw a note written by her father, “Dear Ellen, theres some coffee r

21、eady; I went looking.” But where was Ellen? On the right side of the hallway was her parents room. She went in and saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadnt slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up, but she lo

22、oked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up something was different. She wasnt in her mothers room and she wasnt wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas(睡衣).It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice. “Are yo

23、u feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”25.

26、laxedAnxiousShockedComfortable.C Weve always limited “screen time” at home: no screen time before two years of age, and only occasional educational DVDs after that. Researchers have found a connection between screen time and a host of behavioral and physical problems. Some children have become so ad

27、dicted to iPads and other tablet devices (平板电脑装置) that their parents have even sought out treatment.So, should I be perturbed about the increasing dependence on technology in our schools? In addition to a weekly computer class, my first-grade daughter spends much of her instructional school day in f

28、ront of the “smart board”. And now, school districts across the country are talking about replacing textbooks with tablets.There are several factors that need careful consideration. Important distinctions must be drawn between television screen time (yes, even educational programming), which is a mo

29、stly passive medium, and tablet screen time, which is more interactive (互动的). Another important factor is the age of the child. All people need human interaction, but babies and small children need it most of all. Studies have suggested that tablets may help improve reading and writing abilities in

30、school-aged children, however, plus they help children with autism (a mental disorder) communicate.Tablets in the classroom could replace expensive and heavy textbooks, allow children to make and read notes more easily, providing interactive functions and help track progress. When I was a child, I c

32、without considering what we might lose. If our children spend too much time on tablets, they run the risk of becoming addicted and missing out on a lot of what the world has to offer, especially in a time when schools are cutting art, music and gym.
