Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have 1 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 2 sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still manage to get 3 on my way there.

When I was young I was 4 shy that I never dared ask complete strangers 5 and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some 6 I would get to the spot I was heading for.

I am 7 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 8 telling you the way even if they do not know it;others, 9 are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long 10 of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember;and 11 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 12 direction to that 13 you should be going.

If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere,I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid 14 them wrong directions, but even this can have embarrassing(令人难堪的)results.

Once I was on my way to work 15 I was stopped by a man who asked me 16 I would direct him to the Sunlight Building.I gave my 17 reply,but I had not walked on a few steps when I 18 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 19 .

Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the 20 man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when

he recognized me as the person he had asked.

( )2.(A)good (B)distant (C)poor (D)fine

( )3.(A)lost (B)disappeared (C)stuck (D)started ( )4.(A)a bit (B)such (C)very (D)so

( )5.(A)a way (B)the way (C)way (D)a direction ( )6.(A)opportunity (B)fortune

possibility (D)chance ( )7.(A)no longer (B)no more

(C)not in the least (D)neither

( )8.(A)in (B)for (C)on (D)of

( )9.(A)whom (B)which (C)that (D)who

( )10.(A)line (B)page (C)list (D)chapter

( )13.(A)in which (B)on which (C)to which (D)for which ( )14.(A)to give (B)giving

(C)to be giving (D)having given

Ⅰ

Frank W. Woolworth was born in Rodman,New York,in 1852. His family was very poor farmers,and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for displaying goods to arouse people's interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends(小商品)for as much as he could get.Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said: FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards,Woolworth opened his own store,selling goods at five and ten cents.But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is,if you want to make money by selling low-price goods,you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the

factories.Once,for example,Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way,the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1,000 stores in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules,of which the most important was:"THE CUSTOMER (顾客) IS ALWAYS RIGHT."
