课时分层作业(十三)　

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don't know the local language.Mr.Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don't speak the native tongue，based on his own experience.Here are a few of them.

·Download a Language Translation App

Mr.Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them.Ideally，find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you're not familiar with，or have difficulty pronouncing.

·Speak with Your Hands and Head

“Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head，”Mr.Thibault said，“are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you're in.”“Gestures are all universally understood，”he said.

·Learn a Few Key Words

Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”，“thank you”and “I'm sorry，I don't speak your language.Do you speak English？”is a must，Mr.Thibault said.Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go，and at least enough to acknowledge that you don't know more，is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.

·Work with a Local Travel Agent

If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you're headed to，and you have to go anyway，relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination's languages can be incredibly useful.

·Hire a Local Tour Guide

A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with.Whenever Mr.Thibault visits a new country，he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip.“I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language，”he said.

B

On New York City's Upper West Side，there is an office，inside which  you'll find a laptop with 100­year­old grandmother Eileen Wilkinson.She may live across the country in Washington State，but thanks to her grandson，Mike  Matthews—who is a social media professor at New York University—she's now sharing words of wisdom(智慧)for free.

“You can be anything you want，”Wilkinson said.“Don't complain about anything.You do something about it.”

Over the past three months，hundreds of people have stopped by，chatting  with Wilkinson like they were old friends.“She gets great pleasure from meeting New Yorkers and they're so open about their lives.”Matthews said.

A music student asked for advice on a performance.Others were curious about the  life in 1917.

One boy said he was already planning his next visit.“She's so wise，”he said. “And she really does not look 100.She looks like she's in her middle 80s.”

Wilkinson spent most of her life as a housewife and mother.She says truly listening gives her advice­giving ability a personal touch.And she's honest.

Wilkinson hosts live Facebook chats and has an Instagram account.“It works both ways because I get great joy out of talking to them，”she said. Wilkinson's not slowing down soon，bringing new meaning to the saying，“The road to Grandma's house is never long.”She says her secret to long life is living a good，clean life.
