Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed
10、 and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses，” they said, “because we found that most families
11、were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” , because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”， wh

Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”， because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed at thi
13、s and about the mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to hav
14、e fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people also have problems when they learn foreign languages.

16、would be no problem about finding accommodation there.2If you see a road sign that says “DIVERSION” in London, you will _.Afall into a large holeBfind the road blocked by peopleChave a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfDhave to take a different road3What did the author really mean when the coffee pot was

Mel was calling from the Yankees locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent
22、30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! “I feel great, and Im not retiring，” he told me.This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on
