Question

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have        sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get        on my way there. When I was young I was so       that I never dared ask strangers the way and so I used to      round in circles and hope that I would happen to get to the place I was heading for. I am              too shy to ask people for directions, but I often       replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will      on telling you the way, even if they do not know it ; others who are      to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long        of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to       between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the        direction. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a      to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong       but even this can have embarrassing (尴尬的) results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would     him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my        reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I      that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and       him in the crowd behind me       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      man who had asked for directions to my office and his      when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

解析试题分析：这是一个关于问路的故事。笔者天生的方向感比较差。年轻的时候，因为羞于向他人问路常常在一个角落里急的团团转。当他敢于向他人问路的时候却产生了很多困惑：一些人不承认对周边环境不熟仍然坚持给你指路；一些人为了证明自己非常熟悉周边环境，给了一大串的方位信息，不论你是否记得住；还有些人自己左右都分不清楚却要帮你指路。受此影响，为了避免给出错位的信息，笔者很少帮人指路。在一次上班的路上，他的正需会面的客人向他问路，他习惯性给出了不知道的回答，最后却发现回见的正是问路的人，让自己陷入了尴尬的境地。
