B A few months after we moved to a small city in France, I wanted to meet my husband for lunch at the university where he worked. I got lost. I had to call him for help. One of his friends said to him later, “How could she get lost? She just needed to go straight.” Well, no. that’s the problem. You never “just go straight”, because France is the land of roundabouts(弯道). Highways, major streets, little village lanes—if you go straight long enough, you’ll end up going in circles. Even after a year here, I’d still get lost going to the grocery store, or just about anywhere that wasn’t within a hundred yards of my house. I admit I have a horrible sense of direction, can’t read a map, and am not such a good driver. Plus, I’ve been spoilded(宠坏)by living in American cities, where you just indeed need to “go straight”. But in France, driving became my nightmare—the roads are roundabouts within roundabouts. Finally I found a solution: a GPS program on my smart phone. I rely on it to get anywhere, even places I’ve been. But it does leave me feeling very bad and helpless when, often, the program doesn’t work, can’t find a GPS signal, or gives wrong information. I’d have to wait until my GPS gets recovered, or else I use my old solution: I call my husband. Is the GPS making us more stupid, or helping us going around more? In my case, it’s probably both. Maybe one day I’ll wake up with a sense of direction. Maybe one day I’ll figure out the French way of life. But you’ll still find me confused about looking for the way out. 39. The friend of the writer’s husband’s thought________. A. the roundabouts were confusing B. the way to the university was simple C. she didn’t lose her way D. she was a foolish woman 40.

A. arrive at his destination at last B. come back to where he starts C. find his way out of the city D. end up in a grocery store 41. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the writer? A. She lacks the sense of direction. B. She once lived in a different country C. She has stayed in France for more than a year. D. She has already got used to the French way of life. 2. What does the writer think of the GPS program? A. It’s a satisfactory solution to her problem B. It improves her sense of direction. C. It doesn’t always work very well. D. It is a useless device for her. 43. Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence “in my case, it’s probably both.”? A. Both my husband and I feel bad and helpless. B. Every time I not only use my GPS but also call my husband to find the way. C. I become too dependent on my GPS, but I also benefit from it. D. My GPS not only weakens my ability but also shows me the wrong way. (责任编辑：admin) |
