" 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.

61. The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because

[ A] he is playing a trick on him

[ B ] the American expects the answer

[ C] he doesn ' t know the exact distance at all

[D]he wants to encourage him to go further

Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about

the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In

the 16 th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.

Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man

in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed

them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead,

he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.

The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers,

made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon

with it？ The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and

Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air

passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how

they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the

animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above

Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled

about.

听力原文： When it comes to romance, women prefer someone who tickles their funny bone while men opt for those who catch their eyes, according to an international survey.

Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their finances. Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men said they had lied about their marital or relationship status.

When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents preferred to rely on friends for introductions. The Internet was not a popular hunting ground except in Portugal, where about half the surveyed men and women opted to find people online.

Both Spain and France suffered a gender gap. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online. In France, 40 percent of men but only 10 percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did have one thing in common: both sexes rated looks as more important than their counterparts in other countries.

When it came to first meeting, a majority of men polled said beauty was more important than brains, while women put a sense of humor at the top of their list.

Physical attraction was the top priority for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. While 40 per cent of Portuguese men rated intelligence over looks in a first encounter, no Australian men did so.
