Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have just visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have a very poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still manage to get lost on my way there.
When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hoped that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere,I always tell him/her that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving him/her wrong directions, but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building.
However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me, as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

2.Poor in recognizing the way, the author managed to ___.
A. go without asking anyone the way in the street
B. lose himself even visiting a place repeatedly
C. show others the way when necessary
D. go to his office all by himself
3.The author prefers not to ask the way now because ___.
A. he knows many people are just like him

Some time ago, a friend of mine punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my love. All for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her for forgiveness(原谅). My friend told me that he kept that gold box by his bed for years. Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary(假想的)kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

C. It’s not necessary to hold the possession.
D. The present contained with children’s love and kisses is the most precious thing.

I saw about twelve ladies wearing her Sunday clothes.
