四川省雅安市20xx-20xx学年高二英语下学期第5周周考试题内容摘要：

ection 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 plete 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. 9.
