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 so I used to walk around 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 ever 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 didnt want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) 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. 1:The writer always refuses to give people directions because _.Ashe is a stranger to the city Bshe doesnt know the peopleCshe has no time to help others Dshes afraid of giving wrong direction2: A man stopped the writer on the way to _.Asell her something Bask her the timeCmake friends with her Dask for the direction3:The Friendship Building is the place where the writer _.AlivesBstudiesCworksDteaches4:The words “embarrassed” in the paragraph means “_”.A尴尬B困惑C激动D拮据5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe writer is too shy to give others directions.BThe writer has a very poor sense of direction.CThe writer never got lost when she was young.DThe man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.BItalian restaurants which are running very well in Rhode Island in America.

It made him a person who studied and explored the secrets in the food business.Daniels learning never stops. He says “ The food business is one where you need to stay on top. Cooks should be trained. You have to keep on studying or you will be left behind.” So he spent more time in reading. Every time he gets new ideas from the book, he brings them into his work. Daniel also has a clear understanding about success. That is he would like to be remembered as a person who is innovative（创新的）, who believes in the Italian cooking culture in America. Food is like a bridge connecting to the past, to the family and to the country.
