B

     Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily,I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

     When I was a little girl,I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. 

     Now,I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions,but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere,I would say ,“Sorry,I am a stranger here. ”

     Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps,I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However,I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

     When I just got to my office,the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

B    閱讀提示：本文講述了作者所經(jīng)歷的一件尷尬事兒。作者因方向感差，擔(dān)心給問(wèn)路人指錯(cuò)方向，故當(dāng)路人向她問(wèn)路時(shí)，她總是以自 己對(duì)此地也很陌生為由，不給路人指路。有一次一個(gè)男人問(wèn)去她辦公樓的路時(shí)，她依然以常用的借口沒(méi)給他指路，而此人恰恰是去辦公室找她的人。兩人見(jiàn)面時(shí)，作者感到非常尷尬。

1. D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段的“So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere,I would say ,‘Sorry,I am a stranger here. ’”可知，作者不給問(wèn)路人指路的 原因是自己方向感差，怕給問(wèn)路人指錯(cuò)了路，故選D項(xiàng)。

2. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段的“Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. ”可知，這個(gè)男人攔住作者是問(wèn)去友誼大廈的路怎么走，故選D項(xiàng)。

3. C 推理判斷題。由第四段的“He asked me if I could tell him the way to

the Friendship Building."及 “... I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. ”可知，友誼大廈是作者的辦公樓，也就是作者工作的地方，故選C項(xiàng)。

4. A詞義猜測(cè)題。由第四段的“I gave him my usual reply. ”及第五段的“When I just got to my office,the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. ”可知，此處表示兩人見(jiàn)面時(shí)，作 者感到很尷尬，故選A項(xiàng)。

5. B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的“Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily,I am one of them."可知，作者屬于方向感 很差的人之一，故B項(xiàng)正確。

     Different countries have different customs in giving presents. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person,because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also,don't wrap a present in white,black,or blue paper,because they are the colors for funerals. Don’t give a knife,because something sharp can cut a friendship.

     In Russia if you give flowers as presents,you have to give an odd number of them (one,three,five,etc. ) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

     In Germany if you are invited to dinner,flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess,but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything,either. Don’t wrap your presents in white,brown,or black paper.

     The police in Tokyo,Japan,are looking for an animal. But don't worry. It is not dangerous. The Tokyo Sea Life Park announced that a one-year-old penguin had got out of its home at the zoo. The penguin's escape was a success at first,until a director of a zoo near the Park noticed it swimming in the Old Edogawa River. The director sent a photo to the penguin's keepers (飼養(yǎng)員) at the Tokyo Sea Life Park by e-mail. Then they quickly realized that one of their 135 penguins was missing.

     The park officials said the two-foot-tall bird didn't fly out of the zoo,because penguins can't fly,but the details about how it escaped are not clear. It was possible that the penguin climbed to the top of a stone wall which was higher than itself. “Sometimes an animal has‘ explosive’ power when it is scared by something. Maybe it ran up the wall after being surprised”’ the zoo official,Takashi Sugino,told reporters. “Or maybe it simply thought the fish would be tastier on the other side of the wall.

     The park is now asking the public to help look for the penguin. But the park officials ask the public not to catch it. “We are sorry that we have caused trouble to the local people ,” a notice posted in the park says. Although the penguin will not hurt humans,please call us if you see it. Don’t try to catch it. ”
