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. And 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 useless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone asks me the way, 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 how to the Friendship Building. I gave him usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he was asking 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 the man who had asked me for directions in. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other!

四、阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）

    阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。

When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms:" or "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question.It is not enough to just ask a question correctly.We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.

Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations.The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. it is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher,"When is the school trip?”,this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West.Do you know when the school trip is?",this will sound much more polite.

Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please..?”or “May I ask....” It sounds more polite to say,“Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?" than "Peter,tell me your e-mail address." Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example,we might first say to a stranger,“Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I'm sorry to trouble you,but...” before asking for help.

It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.

56.What do we need to learn when we ask for help?

_____________________________________________________

57.What might the expressions good speakers use depend on?
