21、Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
【1】What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
【2】Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
B. Because he always forget the way to home.
C. Because he did not have any friend.
D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
【3】How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.
C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.
22、 There is one thing that can ruin vacations, make business meetings less than successful, and can cause more problems than anything else for air travelers. Jet lag!
【1】The travel time is too fast for the human body to adjust easily. Long distance air travel to a new time zone disrupts (打乱) three important senses: the sense of place, the sense of time, and the sense of well-being.
Sense of place: To some degree, all locations are geographically and even chemically different from one another. Humans, like all living things, have a strong sense of place. 【2】
Sense of time: We all also have a natural sense of time that is linked to our sense of place. Our bodies function on a program that takes about a day to run.【3】This is why travel to a distant time zone makes us miss the usual hometown patterns of something as simple as the times of sunrise and sunset.
Sense of well-being: We have a sense of well-being when we are healthy and happy. 【4】That is why flying to a new environment and time zone often causes a disruption in our sense of well-being.
For thousands of years, people didn’t experience disruption in their sense of time and place because there were no rapid means of transportation.【5】 However, although we can travel by plane now, our bodies have not yet adapted to long-distance air travel. That is why we suffer the jet lag.
A.The invention of the airplane changed all this.
B.We can make the effort to overcome the jet lag.
C.They sense the different qualities of dawn, noon, and midnight.
D.Jet lag results from traveling a long distance to a new zone.
E.This sense is strongly connected to our senses of place and time.
F.It took weeks, months, years, or even generations to travel great distances.
G.This makes people homesick for familiar surroundings and wish for their own bed

24、A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames.
Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, LA. It is also called "The City of Angels" because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is “City of Flowers and Sunshine”. New York is called “The Big Apple”. So Los Angeles is sometimes called “The Big Orange” because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is completely without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called “Tinseltown”. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is “La–La Land”, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.
