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.

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.

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 !
