Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs：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．”
People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．“How far away is the post office?” you ask．“Oh,” they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here．” You don’t understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please?” To this question you won’t get an answer，because most probably they don’t know it themselves．
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language．Instead，a Greek will often say,“ Follow me．”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question．What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea．”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know．” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world．It’s body language．

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Hair loss can be an emotionally troubling experience for some women. Luckily, experts do have suggestions on how to treat and prevent this condition.
According to Dr. Robert Jones of the Hair Transplant Center in Oakville, ON, hair loss in women is largely genetically determined—he estimates that nearly 80 to 90 percent of hair loss in both men and women is due to a family history of the condition. But some women can experience hair loss as the result of a thyroid dysfunction, pregnancy hormones or because of side effects of medicines such as antidepressants and birth control pills. Nick Dimakos, founder of SureThik International in Toronto, agrees stress and lower-than-normal levels of estrogen (雌性激素) are other contributing factors to hair loss in females. Low levels of iron and over-use of chemical hair products such as artificial dyes (染料) can also lead to thinning hair, which can be especially difficult for women, for whom hair loss is much less socially acceptable than it is for men. “Women lose about 25 percent of their hair before even noticing there’s a problem,” Dimakos says. “It can be devastating (毁灭性的) for them.”
There is no surefire (一定成功的) way to prevent hair loss, but there are steps you can take to reduce the amount of hair you lose. Dimakos recommends visiting your doctor because early discovery and treatment can prevent unnecessary hair loss. He also recommends using mild hair products, avoiding hair dyes or extensions, avoiding smoking and taking vitamin B12 if you suspect hair loss may be in your future. Wearing hair in a ponytail (马尾辫) or braid (辫子) regularly can also lead to weakened hair that is likely to fall out, so it may be best to avoid wearing these styles too often.
Of course, if your hair begins to lose, you’d better seek treatment.
? Hair transplants
Very few women turn to hair transplants because unlike men, women suffering from hair loss usually have thinning hair all over their heads rather than only in one area. If there is not enough hair somewhere else on the head that can be taken to fill in the gaps, a transplant cannot be performed.
? Minoxidil
Found in Rogaine, an over-the-counter (OTC) product, this is a medicine that lowers blood pressure. But it can also slow down or stop hair loss, says Dimakos. This option may work for some women, but it is important to consult your physician before taking any type of medication.

Scientists announced that they had found the gravitational waves（引力波）that confirmed a prediction made by Albert Einstein a century ago.The discovery,made with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational—Wave Observatory, known as LIGO,is the milestone（里程碑）in a decades—long search for signs of this phenomenon."The discovery will open a new window onto the universe,"said David Reitze,executive director of LIGO.
Since humans first watched skyward,we have relied on light of all wavelengths to describe the universe.The light that could be seen first showed the starry heavens,while infrared（红外线的）waves allowed us to see older and more distant stars.
But now,researchers will be able to sense the universe in a whole new way: with their "ears"."We can hear gravitational waves.We can hear the universe,"Gabriela Gonzalez,LIGO's spokeswoman at Louisiana State University,said."That's one of the beautiful things about this: We are not only going to be seeing the universe,we are going to be listening to it."
Gravitational waves,which Einstein predicted as part of his general theory of relativity,occur as objects accelerate or decelerate through space,much the way a boat moving on a lake sends waves across the water's surface. But they're so tiny that until now it's been nearly impossible to find them,even those caused by something as large as a planet moving around the sun.
To pick up this signal,scientists have to look for violent events in the universe.This particular signal appears to have been caused by a collision.That occurred about 1.3 billion years ago between two black holes,holding 29 and 36 solar masses（太阳质量）.
Fiona Harrison,chair of Caltesh's division of physics,mathematics and astronomy,guessed that hundreds of new events would be found over the next few years,allowing scientists to perform a range of different types of studies. "There are probably many events we haven't dreamed of and this is just the beginning,"she said.
1.Why did Gabriela Gonzalez think LIGO's discovery important?
A. It confirmed Einstein's scientific prediction.
B. It allowed scientists to see more distant stars.
C. It changed traditional ideas about the universe.
D. It offered different way to study the universe.
2.It's hard to find gravitational waves because they .
A. are too far to be felt
B. are too weak to be observed
C. are disturbed bu other planets
D. disappear soon after they happen
3.Which of the following would scientists consider to be a violent event?
A. Hearing the universe.
B. Searching for infrared waves.
C. A collision between black waves.
D. A planet moving around the sun.
4.It can be concluded that .
A. gravitational waves also exist in objects at rest
B. there's a long way to go in studying the universe.
C. gravitational waves show the beginning of the universe.
D. scientists began studying gravitational waves in recent years.
