Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being normal one and to praise or criticize others, as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted（扭曲）one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign language.
It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not different at all!
Differences between what people do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed（显示）to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.

When you throw rubbish to the ground, do you ever think you’ve lost something with it?
What follows is a true story, although it sounds much like a joke. A lady wearing a long skirt was seen running after a piece of paper on a railway platform. The warm-hearted people there, seeing how anxious she obviously was, joined in her chase. The paper, as if trying to tease them all, first flew downwards and then went back up, like being possessed. This only increased the people’s determination to catch it. They felt sure that it was something priceless which, once lost, would make the lady sad. At long last, the paper was caught. The lucky man who captured it handed it to the lady, and she, in turn, thanked everyone heartily and gracefully. Then she took the paper to a nearby garbage can and, under everyone’s gaze, dropped it in. This done, she turned round and said to the people with a smile, “Now, the trash is in its right place.” Where do you think such a story won’t happen? To answer this question you and I have sufficient qualifications.
A government official has told me a terribly embarrassing experience. One day his delegation was traveling in a bus in the open country in Australia. He carelessly threw a banana peel out of the window. It didn’t seem to bother anyone, because all the passengers on the bus were Chinese---even the interpreter was a fellow countryman. However, he neglected one fact---that the driver was an unmistakable Australian! The bus stopped. The driver quietly got off, dashed all the way back, picked up the peel, returned with it just as quietly, and started the bus again. The interpreter said with a shrug, “Never mind. It’s just as natural for him to pick up the thing as for you to throw it away!”
“It felt like a resounding slap in my face,” my official friend told me.
In my school there used to be a charming headmistress. Whenever she saw a student litter on campus, she would run up and remind him or her in a friendly way, “Hey, you’ve lost something!” The puzzled student would respond with a grateful smile, “But I haven’t lost anything, Madam.” When the headmistress pointed to the piece of garbage on the ground, the student’s face would turn red, quickly pick up the garbage and quietly run off.
“You’ve lost something!”---I love to chew on these words every now and then, trying to think the meaning hidden behind them.
56. The underlined word “chase” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. looking for B. running after C. obtaining D. achieving
57. From the second story we can infer ________.
A. the interpreter couldn’t speak Chinese
B. the Chinese government official behaved well
C. the Australian driver was a rubbish collector
D. Australians seldom throw rubbish in public places.

A. The lady was running after a piece of paper.
B. The man who caught the paper threw it into the rubbish bin.
C.The Australian driver picked up the banana peel thrown by the Chinese government official.
D. The purpose of the headmistress’ words was to remind her students to pick up the rubbish.
59. Which of the following might be the best title of the text?
A. Three Interesting Stories B. No littering
C. You’ve Lost Something D. Think Before You Leap
60. From this passage, we can learn _________.
A. the Chinese government official was not a good leader
B. it is wrong of the lady to throw the rubbish into the dustbin
C. littering is not a good behavior
D. the headmistress always lost things
