The worst touristin the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. 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 wereheld upby 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 Englishinstead 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 traveling 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 Englishinstead 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), “Iknow I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive.”

“Cool”is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As theworld has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
