Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unlucky , 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!

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆江蘇揚(yáng)州邗江區(qū)九年級(jí)下學(xué)期第一次模擬考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

A priest(牧師) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent(彎曲) down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air — out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.

So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.

Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Before this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”

She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging(懇求) her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if _________, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”

1.The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.

A. get his kitty down from the tree

B. persuade his kitty to come down

C. feed the kitty

D. see if the rope was strong enough

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that the priest __________.

A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty

B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat

C. thought his kitty might be lost or killed

D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more

3.Which is the most possible to complete the sentence in the last paragraph?

A. the priest sends you a cat

B. God gives you a cat

C. you have enough money

D. you have enough time

4.Which may be the best title of this passage?

A. A flying cat B. A lucky girl

C. God sent her a cat D. An unlucky priest
