A tourist comes out of the airport. There are a lot of taxis, but the tourist asks every taxi-driver his name. He takes the third taxi. It costs $5 from the airport to the hotel. “How much does it cost for the whole day?” the tourist asks.“$100,” says the taxi-driver. This is very expensive, but the tourist accepts the price.

　　The taxi-driver takes the tourist everywhere. He shows him all the monuments and all the museums. In the evening they get back to the hotel. The tourist gives the taxi-driver $100 and says, “What about tomorrow?” The taxi-driver says, “Oh, OK. If that's the price, that is the price. See you tomorrow.” The taxi-driver is very pleased.

　　The next day the taxi-driver takes the tourist everywhere again. They visit all the museums and all the monuments again. And on the second evening they go back to the hotel. The tourist gives the taxi-driver another $100 and says，“I'm, going home tomorrow.” The taxi-driver is sorry. He likes the tourist and, above all, $100 a day is good money. “So you are going home. Where do you come from?” he asks.

　　“I come from New York.”

　　“New York!” says the taxi-driver. “I've a sister in New York. Her name is Susannah. Do you know her?”

　　“Of course I know her. She gave me $ 200 for you.”

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learnt French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,”he exclaimed (惊呼).“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

“Oh!”he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”

When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!”

How do I like to travel?

　　Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

　　like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

　　The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Seottie of San Francisco. Once he flew from the US to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane stopped to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York after an hour's flying. As he thought he had arrived home, Mr Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour's travelling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译) , “I know I'm in Italy.
