In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地 ), he will politely say “Just down the
24、road.“ He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “tricked“. He thinks the man deliberately (故意的 ) cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.Had conditions be
25、en reversed (颠倒过来), the American would have fell he was “cheating“ the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic (同情的) to the weary driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet ;it is at least 15 miles.“
26、 The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.Whether to be accurate (准确的) or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people ofdifferent cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.56 The man at the roadside tel
27、ls the American it is close to the next village because_.（A）he is playing a trick on him（B） the American expects the answer（C） he doesnt know the exact distance at all（D）he wants to encourage him to go further57 We learn from this passage that Americans_.（A）are good at cheating（B） are polite to anyb

29、er you are tired or not and then give you an answer59 Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save a life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escape, but not elevators. From the lower floo
30、rs of the building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by the window with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground.
31、 It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help, be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your h
32、ead low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (渗入)into the room.On a second or a third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open on a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥地 )might end in inju
33、ry. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.59 Which of the following should not be used when trying to escape a fire?（A）windows.（B） elevators.（C） fire escapes.（D）stairways.60 How far is the second floor window from the ground?（A）About 12 feet.（B） About 6 feet.（C） About the height of an average ma

36、singer Michael Jackson.One of the most famous sports superstars in the United States was the boxer, Muhammad Ali. As a young man, he won a gold medal in the Olympics as a boxer. Then he became the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest boxers in s
37、ports history. Once Ali said when he was a champion he was more famous than the president of the United States or the head of any other country in the world.The word “super“ means something that is good, and of course, a star is a person who is famous. So people use “superstar“ to describe the top p
38、eople in sports, films or music. But like the stars in the sky, a superstar disappears as time goes by. Many people, for example, know little these days about Ali or Jackson. Superstars are loved by millions of people today, but often forgotten tomorrow.63 Michael Jackson is famous for his_ but Muha
