　　A year passed __14__ he was free to begin his __15__. He was forty. He had never __16__ a camel. He spoke no Arabic. And he did not know how to __17__ himself by the stars. His friends thought he would soon __18__ such an impossible plan.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have ever 1 a place once, they will be able to find it again years 2 ．

I am one of those unfortunate people who have a very 3 sense of direction and I may have visited a place time and time but I still manage to get 4 on my way there．

When I was young I was so 5 that I never dared ask complete strangers the 6 and so I used to walk round in 7 and hope that by some chance I would 8 to the place I was heading for．

Now I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive 9 that puzzle（使迷惑） me．Often people do not like to admit that they do not 10 their home town and will insist on telling you the way 11 they do not know it; others, who are anxious to 12 that they know their home town very well, will give you a long 13 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 14 direction to that in which you should be going．

If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always pretend to be a 15 to the town in order to avoid（避免） giving them 16 directions, but even this can have embarrassing（令人窘迫的） results．

Once I was on my way to work when I was 17 by a man who asked me 18 I would direct him to the Sunlight Building．I gave my 19 reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I 20 that he had asked for directions to my office building．

However, it was too 21 to turn back and search him out of the crowd 22 me, for I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to 23 him waiting．

How embarrassed I was when my secretary 24 in the very man who had asked for directions to my 25 !

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown 46 an amusing experience.
　　 One day, I 　47 to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I 48 about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be 49 . Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well, 　50 change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, 　51 we talk about the Great Wall? 　52 the way, have you ever 53 there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing 　54 . It was magnificent.” He was 　55 in thought when I began to talk 56 a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very 　57 of it.”

Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help but 58 , “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do 59 , ” he answered, 　60 　surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?” 　61 this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to 62 , “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an 　63 of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” 64 then did I know I had made a fool of 65 . Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
