The other day after work, I was walking down the street while I saw a boy riding a nice unicycle, one of those bicycle with only one wheel. Dressing in all pink from head to toe, he was singing a song which was sounded like a kid’s song. I thought he must be total crazy. Just then, a lady dropped 20-dollar bill on the ground, but he didn’t realize it and started to walk away. The guy in pink picked out the money and gave it back to her. After that, he rode on but soon disappeared before the lady could thank him. How a strange and good guy!

We all hope to achieve success in many areas of our lives, but sometimes the road to success seems to be paved with difficulties and events that we haven’t planned for. The following steps will help you to clearly define what it is that you hope to achieve in life so that you can make your goals and dreams become a reality.
1. Make sure that you’re motivated and committed to what you hope for so that you are willing to take the necessary steps to achieve it.
2. If you truly desire to achieve success in life, you must be wiling to clear away what prevents you from reaching your goals and dreams.
Approach your goals and dreams with a positive attitude. Having a negative attitude and thinking you can’t accomplish your goals and be successful in life only slow you down. Stay positive even if the road gets tough. 3.
Be flexible and creative. Things may not always turn out the way you hoped or planned, so sometimes you’ll have to think of new, more efficient ways to reach your goals.
Communicate effectively. 4. So knowing how to be clear and kind when dealing with others is a skill that will greatly serve you on your path to success.
Take care of your mind and body. Eat healthily, exercise regularly, get adequate sleep and allow your mind to rest from time to time. 5.
A. Set a clear goal for yourself.
B. This isn’t a one-man show.
C. Overcome difficulties
D. Thus you’ll be much closer to achieving success.
E. Imagine living your dreams.
F. This way you’ll be in top physical and mental shape when seeking success.
G. Then enjoy your new shape and become more content with your appearance.
I travel a lot, and I find out 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 names; 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."
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 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 certain place they usually________.
A. refer to recognizable buildings and places
B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets
D. describe the place carefully
2.What is the place where people measure distance in time?

C. Los Angeles. D. Iowa.
3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.

C. in order to save time D. for fun
4.What can we infer from the text?
A. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
B. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
