　　Last week Fred had to go to New York. It was his first time there, and he didn't know his way around the city. He had a meeting at 10 o'clock, and he wanted to be there on time. The meeting was in the Peterson Building on 34th Street, but Fred didn't know where that was. Seeing two men standing on a corner, he asked them.

　　“Excuse me,” he said, “but can you tell me how to get to the Peterson Building on 34th Street?”

　　“Sure,” answered one of them. “You can get there in five minutes. Go to the next corner and turn left. Walk three blocks(街区) and there you are.”

　　But the other man said, “There's a better way. Go on the bus here at the corner. It stops right near the Peters Building.”

　　“Not Peters,” Fred told him, “Peterson.”

　　Then the first man said, “Oh, that's on East 34th Street, not West 34th. It's quite a distance(距离) from here. You will have to take the subway(地铁).”

　　But the second man told Fred, “No, don't go by subway. Take the crosstown(穿城而过) bus. It goes to the Peterkin Building.”

　　“Peterson, not Peterkin.” Fred looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock. “Thanks a lot.” he said, “I think I'll take a taxi.”

　　When he. got into the taxi he saw the two men arguing(争论) and pointing(指向) in different directions. Next time he wanted to know how to get to a place, he'd better ask a policeman!
