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 mast 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 cultures, ff you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.

单选题A Levi Strauss, a young immigrant (移民) from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle of the Gold Rush, Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Levi Strauss came to sell canvas (帆布) to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Levi Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents. One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn't find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing, Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants (裤子). These pants were what the miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made. Strauss wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called "serge de Nimes". The miners liked this fabric. They called it "denim" (from "de Nimes") and bought even more pants from Strauss. However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed (染) the denim blue. Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world, And Jeans are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.
