问路时应注意什么？

　　身处异国他乡，问路是免不了的事情。在英语国家，人们对于外国人很乐于提供帮助，在一般情况下，你总能得到热情、满意的回答。而对于问路者来说，问路前，首先应停下脚步等待对方走近，或缓步走向对方，表情不要显得过于紧张，切忌疾步向对方走去，以免引起对方的怀疑和反感。再者，问路前别忘了说一“Excuse me．（劳您驾。）”，一方面引起对方的注意，同时又显得彬彬有礼。第三要注意说话的语速宜慢不宜快，语言要清晰可辩，以免对方误解。第四，对方讲话时应认真耐心地聆听。如果没听懂，想让对方重复一遍，可以说：“I beg your pardon．（对不起，请再说一遍）。”或“Would you please say it again？I'm afraid I don't quite catch you．（请您再说一遍，我恐怕没听懂）。”第五，问路时应与对方保持一定的距离，尤其在对方是女士时。说话时尽量不要打手势，即使有必要，动作也不宜过大。最后，在对方给你指路后要礼貌地表示感谢：“Thank you very much．”即使对方回答“不知道”，没能给你满意的答复，也应回应一声：“Thank you all the same．（尽管如此，还是要感谢你）。”

Map would help!

　　Liu Mei helped someone who was lost. Have you ever been lost? Did you ask for directions? Have you used a map? Do you study geography in school? Maps can be very useful.
　　A map is like a picture that shows an area in a way that helps people find places or understand what is in the area. Many maps show places on earth. Maps may also show other planets, the moon, or stars in space.
　　Because the earth is round, the best way to show it is on a round map called a globe. A globe shows the location and shape of geographic areas exactly as they are on earth. But most maps are flat because they are easy to carry and to print in books.
　　We use maps to find places, measure distances, plan trips, and find our way. Pilots of ships and airplanes use maps to show which way the ship or plane is going. City planners use maps to decide where to put new buildings or roads. Maps also help us understand such things as where people live, how ocean currents flow, or how much rain falls. Maps may also show us what is going on inside the earth. For example, scientists use maps to help find oil, gas, and other things people need.
　　To design maps, map makers use lines, colours, shapes, and other symbols. These symbols stand for such things as roads, rivers, forests, or cities.
