UNIT 2

1. READING

You have to read the following text at home

“How can I get to the Post office?”

I have a special rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Sometimes I get lost, but I usually have a good time. I can practice a new language, meet new people, and learn new customs. And I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask, “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourist often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of their 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 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 is no town or buildings within miles. Instead of landmark, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for instance, people will say,” Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance in Los Angles in time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “ Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
