　　I have a rule for travel, never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.

　　Foreign visitors are oft en puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks 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 country of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings with miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas (堪萨斯州), 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(测量) distance by telling time. “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.

　　People in Greece (希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Gree k language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

　　Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico (墨西哥), no one answers “I don’t know”. People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

　　One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!

　　Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. You shouldn’t waste this wonderful opportunity to learn. Here is our advice for you to have a happy school life.

　　Advice 1 Be active in school! Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go around the school with a big smile.

　　Advice 2 Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working，you are not learning，and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

　　Advice 3 Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast，you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep，you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

　　Advice 4 Do today’s work today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class，it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.

　　Advice 5 Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests，loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect，and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.

　　Advice 6 Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!
