单选题"How far is it to the next village?" the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. 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 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 purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well. Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt 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. "The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect. Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.

单选题Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas, such as airports, to help Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February,2005. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example. Despite the different language, traveling across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas(签证) from the two countries. You also needed a calculator(计算器) because both countries had different money. Today, with a Schengen Visa issued(签发)by any member countries, you Can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid (有效的) in the other countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere. All the countries in the continent are melting(融于) into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries.

单选题You might think that "global warming" means nothing more than a rise in the world"s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation(撤离)of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. During the 20th century, sea level rose 8 ～ 12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country"s drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (导致温室效应的气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. "By refusing to sign the agreement, the U.S. has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years". Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries. Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的)to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an "endangered nation".
