Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. So I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too 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 me the way somewhere.I always say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if 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 look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I
didn't want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office. the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

With so many places of interest, New York City is a great place for visiting. Getting around New York City can be very easy. Here are the ways of getting around.
Taxi. This is probably the best way of getting around New York City if you are in a group of 2- people. The traffic can be crowded and you can get stuck(不动) in it in a taxi. But you can easily get anywhere in Manhattan for no more than ＄10-＄15, and it can help you avoid (避免) getting last. When at your hotel, ask a doorman(看人) for a taxi and he will get one for you, When on the street, simply look for taxis with their light on top fit but no "off duty"marked. However, it's not always the fastest.
Walking. New York City is the world's greatest walking city. Walking is the best for you if you want to know more about the city. You will probably meet movie stars and famous singers when walking. If you are going to walk, and you don’t want to get lost, ask New Yorkers for directions. Most of them love giving directions, but they ll always be in a hurry! Just ask where you want to go. Anyone will gladly help you.
Subway. Besides walking, this is the cheapest way to travel, and the fastest. If you want to get a real feeling of New York, the subway is a great way. Millions of people use it every day, and it runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Bus. They make frequent stops. However, if you have trouble with stairs or walking, or if you have a lot of time to fill and want to see the city from outside to inside, this is good. All public buses are low to the ground, so it’s easier for people to get on.( )36. If you are in a group of 2-4 people, what is probably the best way of getting around New York City?

Giving directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office ?”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks (路标) instead of street names. For example the Japanese will
say to travelers,"Go straight down to the corner. 41 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles(英里). 42 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.”43
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say. “Sorry. I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers"I don’t know.”
44 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan.
You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office.
根据村料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最选项，使短文思通、内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面面号后的横线上。
A. Turn east and then go another mile.
B. But one thing will help you everywhere.
C. People there think "I don’t know." is not polite.
D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E. Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.

It might seem more difficult to speak politely than 46 .However it is important to learn how to use the right 47 in different situations. This will help you 48 better with other people.
Good 49 will change the way they speak in different situations. What they say might depend on 50 they are speaking to or how well they know each other. For example, it's all right to ask directions to your classmates. But it’s 51 to say to your teachers like that.
Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a 52 when we first say to a stranger, such as "Excuse me, I 53 if you can help me?” or “I’m sorry to 54 you, but...” before asking for help.
We all know it's not enough to just ask a question 55 , we also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.

I'm very glad to hear that you’ll travel to my city. Now let me tell you something about the East Beach.
The East Beach is in the east of my city, 10 kilometers away from the city center. It's one of the best beaches in the world. The sand there is fine, soft and clean. The water is clear with small
waves. It is suitable for swimming and playing volleyball.
You can get to the beach easily. Many buses can take you there. You can also take a taxi at any time. There are toilets, dressing rooms and shops. I think you will have a great time there.
I’m looking forward to your coming.
