There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway， wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often the whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains had been their favorite relatives. This was the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car， so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen newspapers and magazines to read and reread.

It was not long before the train was rattling across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Bahru was just another city like Singapore， so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city， I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I had been looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful.

I looked forward to the return journey， by train.

1. What impressed the author most during his train trip？

A. The friendly country people. B. The mountains along the way.

C. The crowds of people in the streets. D. The simple lunch served on the train.

2. At first， the author expected the train trip to be .

A. adventurous B. pleasant C. exciting D. boring

3. Where was the author going？

A. Johore Bahru. B. The Causeway. C. Butterworth. D. Singapore.

4. What is the best title for the text？

A. Comfort in Traveling by Train B. Pleasure of Living in the Country

C. Reading Gives People Happiness D. Smiles Brighten People Up

Traveling without a map in different countries， I find out about different ways of giving directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”.

Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs. In Japan， people use landmarks （標(biāo)志性建筑） to give 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.”

People in Los Angeles， the US， have no idea of distance on the map： they measure distance by time， not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer， “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely. “Yes， but how many miles away is it， please？” To this question you won’t get an answer， because most probably they don’t know it themselves.

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead， 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. What happens in the situation？ A New Yorker might say， “Sorry， I have no idea.” But in Yucatan， Mexico， no one answers “I don’t know”. People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer， but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan！ However， one thing will help you reach your destination everywhere in the world. It’s body language.

5. What does the underlined word “puzzled” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

A. Excited. B. Confused. C. Nervous. D. Powerful.

6. Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles？

A. They prefer to lead you the way.

B. They prefer to use body language.

C. They have no time to describe briefly.

D. They have no idea of distance measured by miles.

7. How do Greeks give directions？

A. Using street names. B. Using landmarks. C. Leading the way. D. Telling the time.

8. What can we learn from the last paragraph？

A. People in Mexico know street names well.

B. Body language makes you get lost in Yucatan.

C. People in Mexico prefer to use body language.

D. People in Yucatan often give wrong directions.
