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 asked strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles 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(避免) giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever 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.
54.The writer always refused to give people directions because _________ .
A.she is a stranger to the city
B.she doesn’t know the people
C.she has no time to help others
D.she is afraid of giving the wrong direction
55.A man stopped the writer on the way to __________.
A.sell her something
B.have a meeting with her
C.ask for the direction
D.make friends with her
56.The underlined word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means _______.
A.尴尬
B.困惑
C.激动
D.拮据
57.Which of the following is NOT WRONG according to the passage?
A.The writer is too shy to give others directions.
