It was a contest created by the First Lady a few months ago. She asked kids ages 8 to 12 to think up healthy, delicious lunch recipes. Winners from across the country, one from every state, were brought to Washington D.C, for the “state dinner”.At the start of the meal, the First Lady welcomed her guests and congratulated them on winning the contest. “You were the winner in your state---the whole state,” she said. “You guys won! Cool!” She also explained what made the recipes win. “You came up with dishes that are good for you, but more importantly, they taste good, too,” she said.Just before the dessert time, Michelle stood up to make an announcement. “We have a special guest who wanted to stop by and say hello,”she explained. “So it’s my honor t o introduce the President of the United States.”The President walked to each table, shaking hands with the winners and their family members.

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 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 distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “O h,” they answer, “it’ is about five minutes from here.”You say , “Yes , but how many miles away is it ?”They don’t know .It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes . What happens in such a situation ? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry ,I have no idea .” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one .A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan !32. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ____________.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places33.
