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.
1.The author seems to be very frustrated by the fact that ____.
A. he is poor at giving directions
B. he is too shy to ask for direction to improve his sense of it
C. he is jealous of those who have excellent sense of direction
D. he is not born with an adequate sense of direction
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
B. he has been used to getting lost
C. he finds it hard to trust strangers
D. few people can give effective instructions
4.An example is given to show the narrator’s ___.
A. embarrassing encounter
B. successful escape
C. poor sense of direction
D. stupid response
5.The tone of the story is ___.
A. helpless B. proud

It was quiet, sunny afternoon. I was sitting in the garden, read the Sunday newspaper and expecting a couple of hour of peace. Then I hear a loud knock on the door. I saw about twelve ladies wearing her Sunday clothes. They said, “Well, we hope we are not late, so it is not easy to find your house.” One lady said, “Well, your husband is very kind to inviting us to tea.” I thought, “My God, my husband must have been mad.” I asked for them into the house and they sat down and started talking happy. But when my husband appeared, it was quickly discovered that they should have gone to the house on the another side of the street.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces.
A young couple viewing the painting ahead of me chattered nonstop between themselves. I watched them for a moment and decided it was the woman who was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant gush of words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man took a long cane and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He is a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would have given up if we went blind at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said. “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to alter his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away with their arms intertwined.
1.Which of the following shows the wife’s patience?
a. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words.
b. Each time I heard her constant gush of words, I moved away quickly.
c. The young man made a promise that his life wouldn’t change.
d. His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.
A. c B. cd C. bd D. abd

A. The writer admires her patience.
B. The writer hates her patience.
C. The writer enjoys hearing her constant gush of words.
D. The writer hates hearing her constant gush of words.
3.According to the last paragraph, what did the writer see that day?
A. The young man’s patience, courage and love for the wife.
B. The wife’s patience, courage and love for the young man.
C. The wife’s patience, the young man’s courage and their love for each other.
D. The young man’s patience, the wife’s courage and their love for each other.
4.We can conclude from the passage that __________.
A. the physical disability changed the young man, but the wife tries to help him out of his pain with her patience and love
B. the physical disability couldn’t change the young man’s life, and his wife helps him out with her care and love
