When you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because the traffic goes on the left. Before you cross the street, you must look to the right first and then the left.
If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road.
If the lights are green, the traffic can go and people on foot mustn't cross.
In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very busy. The traffic is the most dangerous then.
When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. You must always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first or you'll go the wrong way.
In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. That'll be very interesting.
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆) works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance (机会) to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells to us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be to blame (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write, they have to remember the things. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people:practise remembering things as other people do.
Foreign (外国的)visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) 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 just across the bus stop."
In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) 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 is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes' walk 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 Greek 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.
