I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother
and his friends were all  36  of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they  37  that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought  38  for performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother  39  me the ticket. I was really  40 !
I remember the buzz (嘈杂声) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our  41 . After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became  42 . I could barely make out the stage in the  43 . We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band  44  the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t  45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as  46  as a jet engine. I could  47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just  48  that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to  49 . But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the  50  and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just  51  from a long sleep. My ears were still  52  with the beat of the last song.
After the  53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while,  54 , I listen to one of their songs and  55  I’m back at that first show.

 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 poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still 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 hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t 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 can not 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 to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction 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 the way 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 decide it was too late to turn back and search for 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 of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

     C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
     D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
  61. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
     A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
     B. Because he always forget the way to home.
     C. Because he did not have any friend.
     D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
  62. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
     A. He felt strange.                              B. He felt embarrassed.
     C. He felt very sad.                                   D. He felt astonished.
  63. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
     A. Someone we don’t know.                 B. The writer did it for himself.
     C. The secretary did so.                        D. A warm-hearted old lady did it.
