2、an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him.

3、uced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, “May I get you something?” “A coffee would be nice.” Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accep
4、ted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door, I met one of my friends.

8、 their appearances.B 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 dont have names;in Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.
9、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
10、 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
11、 distance on the map; they measure distance in time,not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,”they answer, “its about five minutes from here.

15、understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CI wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but thats impossible. For the most part, Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents.
