Singapore’s public transport system (公共交通系统) is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local . There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city—trains, buses and taxis. TRAINS
Trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like.

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

Giving directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office?”, You will get different answers．
In Japan，people use landmarks（路标）instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner． 66 ．The post office is across from the bus stop．”
In Kansas，America，there are no towns or buildings within（在……之内）miles．So instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distance．For example，people will say，“Go north two miles（英里）． 67 ．
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions．They will often say，“Follow me．” 68 ． Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question，he or she，like a New Yorker，might say，“Sorry，I have no idea．”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know.” 69 ．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
__ 70____．You might not understand a person’s words，but maybe you can understand his or her body language．He or she will usually point to the correct direction．Go on in that
direction and you may find the post office! 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
A. Turn east，and then go another mile．
B. But one thing will help you everywhere． C. People there think “I don’t know．”is not polite． D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．
E. Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office ．
