Some people have a very poor sense（感觉）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 ask strangers 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 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 would 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!

参考答案：
1．D
考查冠词和代词。a不定冠词，位于辅音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表示特指；one一个，表示上文提到过的同类事物中的一个。根据“Is there … video shop near here ”可知，第一空表示泛指，video以辅音音素开头，应用a；根据“Yes, there’s … near here.”可知，第二空指上文提到过的音像店中的一家，应用代词one。故选D。
2．A
考查代词辨析。me我，宾格；my我的，形容词性物主代词；mine我的，名词性物主代词；myself我自己，反身代词。动词“teaches”后接代词宾格。故选A。
3．D
How soon多久以后；How long多久；How much 多少；How often多久一次。根据I seldom or never do that now.可知该选D.
4．C
考查动词短语和介词短语。walk down沿着……走；walk along沿着……走；walk away走开。in the front of在……前面（在某范围内部的前面）；in front of在……前面（在某范围外部的前面）。根据“Walk ... the street.”可知第一空用down或along均可；“学校在公园的前面”，指公园外部的前面，要用in front of。故选C。

考查介词。from从；on在……上； at在；in在……里；在某条大街，使用介词on；on the right在右边，固定搭配。故选C。

8．C
考查动词辨析。take花费，主语是it或物；pay支付；spend花费，度过；get得到。结合选项及空后的“your weekends”可知问句是说你怎样度过你的周末，spend意为“花（时间）；度过”，符合语境。故选C。
9．C
考查非谓语动词。根据“flowers in the garden when I pass by”可知，经过时看见她正在浇花，see sb doing sth“看见某人正在做某事”，用现在分词作宾补，故选C。
