Some people have a very poor sense of direction.   1  , I am one of them. I    2    a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

    When I was a little girl, I was very shy and    3    asked others the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

    Now, I am no longer    4  shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks   5    the way somewhere, I would say, " Sorry, I am a stranger here."

    Once on my way to work I    6   by a man. He asked me    7    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    8    him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him    9   .

    When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how    10    I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

When I was 18 years old, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 40 miles away. I had just learned to 36 ，so I agreed with pleasure. When we came to the town, something was wrong with the car. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it  37  and promised to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the  38 .However I became   39  interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.

I was afraid Dad would be  40 and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse(借口) 41  my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me: “I’m disappointed that I feel you have to tell a lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with  42  but with myself. I have failed  43  I’ve brought up a son who can not even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about  44  I have done wrong all these years.”

Dad began  45  along the road. I begged(乞求)all the way, telling him how I drove behind him for 40 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never told a lie to him ever since.
