When I was a teenager, I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that some miraculous (奇迹的) chance would bring me to the spot I was heading for.
A lot of people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their home town very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and you finally find that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid causing trouble, but even this can have unpleasant results.
I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would di- rect him to the Sunlight Building. Without hesitation, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me as I had and appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my situation when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked!
According to the passage, the sense of direction is learnt______.
A.through practice
B.by nature
C.in the childhood
D.after visiting a place repeatedly

Our boat floated on (漂流) ,between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing【21】though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills.【22】did we find a place where we could have landed.

We lived【24】fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat everything,【25】the raw fish. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the【26】: perhaps sea-fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless. As for water, there was a choice: we could drink muddy river water,【27】die of thirst. We drank the water.
