Question

    When a Japanese friend of mine first visited Britain and first saw a British map of the world, he was very upset by what he found．At first the picture seemed familiar: in the middle of the map, there were two or three small but long red islands lying between an ocean and a continent． But something was wrong: landmass and ocean had changed places．It wasn’t Japan he was looking at; it was the British small islands．Japan was out on the edge somewhere.

    Until that moment all the maps he had known had located (标出位置) Japan in the middle of the picture and had colored it red; yet when he got to British, he found that the country in the middle of the map was Britain and that it, too, was painted red.

    What my friend found was a displacement(移换位置）of his country, and, therefore, of himself as well．That is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place and he no longer knew where he stood: he was “disoriented”.

“To be disoriented” means to lose ________.

A．one’s heart

B．control

C．one’s interest

D．one’s sense of position
