B

I found out one time that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me in a low voice, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I could lend her a pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink(墨水) and would not write. I took a pen out of my pencil box and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been handed in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students could leave. As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. So I went to the teacher and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just helping the girl by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

I travel a lot, and I find out different “style” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often puzzled 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 examples, 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 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 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 (估量) distance 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.

It’s true that a person doesn’t 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 Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a place, they usually _________.

A. tell him the names of the streets

B. show him a map of the place

C. describe the place carefully

D. refer to (意指)clear buildings and places

2.What is the place where people show distance in time?

A. New York.　 B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.

3.Usually, People in Yucatan give a tourist a wrong answer _________ instead of saying “I don’t know”.

A. to save time　 B. as a test

C. to be polite　　 D. for fun

4.What can we learn 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.
