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

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 ___.

D. stupid response
5.The tone of the story is ___.

Some time ago, a friend of mine punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight(困窘的), and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” He was embarrassed by his earlier over-reaction, but his anger flared again when he found that the box was empty.
He shouted at her loudly, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside of it?”
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(原諒). 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.
In a very real sense, each of us as parents has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children. There is no more precious possession(財產(chǎn))anyone could hold.

D. Because he found that the present box was empty.
3.What kind of present did the little girl give her father?
A. The little girl had put her kisses in the box as a present.
B. The little girl had kissed the box as a present.
C. The little girl had filled the box with gold wrapping paper.
D. The little girl had filled the box with air.
4.How did the father feel after he listened to his daughter’s explanation?
A. Happy. B. Sorry.
C. Crazy. D. Impatient.
5.What’s the meaning of the last sentence—“There is no more precious possession(財產(chǎn))anyone could hold.”?
A. The possession is too heavy to hold.
B. There’s no more precious thing for us to hold.
C. It’s not necessary to hold the possession.
D. The present contained with children’s love and kisses is the most precious thing.

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.
