Getting information and direction

One day, Bill has to go to New York. It’s his first time there, and he doesn’t know his way around the city. He has a meeting at 10 o’clock, and he wants to be there on time. The meeting is in the Peters Building on 34th Street, but Bill doesn’t know the way. At that time Bill meets two men and he asks them for directoins.

“Excuse me!” he says,”Can you tell me how to get to the Peter Building on 34th Street?”

“Sure,”answers one of the men.”You can get there in five minutes. Go to next corner and turn left. Walk three blocks and there you are.’

But the other man says, “Don’t listen to him. There’s a better way. Get on the bus here at this concer.It stops right near the Peter Building.’

Then the first man says,” Oh, that’s on East 34th Street, not West 34th. It’s quite a distance from here. You must take the subway. Take the cross-town bus.”

Bill looks his watch. It’s almost ten o’clock. “Thanks a lot,” he says, “I think I should take a taxi.”

He gets into the taxi and leaves. But the two men are still arguring and pointing in different directions. Next time he needs to ask directions, he should ask a policeman!

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講的是貝爾要去紐約開會，但他不知去開會地點(diǎn)的路，問了兩個人但他們給出不同的信息，所以下次如果再遇到這種情況他會問警察。

1.has a meeting。

2.he meeting is in the Peters Building on 34th Street可知他要去the Peter Building。

3.He has a meeting at 10 o’clock,可知會議是在10 o’clock。

4.You can get there in five minutes. Go to next corner and turn left. Walk three blocks and there you are.’可知此空填turn left。

5.根據(jù)文中信息he says, “I think I should take a taxi.”可知貝爾是打的去的Peter Bilding，所以填take a taxi。
