第三部分 阅读理解（共三节，共35分）

第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）

根据短文内容，判断正(A)误(B)。

If you ask people of different countries, “Could you tell me the way to the post office?”, you will get different answers.

In Japan, people use landmarks 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 Mid-West of America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles, turn east and then go another mile.”

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand Greek. Instead of giving you directions, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he or she will lead you across the streets to the post office.

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, people think “I don’t know.” is not polite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor will get lost in Yucatan.
