B
In the past, asking local people for directions was the most reliable(可靠的) way to find your way. They knew not only the way, but also the traffic, interesting places to visit, and the most famous restaurant nearby.
Today, technology offers new ways to guide, such as online driving directions and smartphones with navigation(导航) apps. People don’t have to ask others for directions very often, for the directions are always in their pocket, as long as they have enough battery(电池) life and a data(数据) collection.
In the past few years, I didn’t have a chance to travel or ask for directions because I was busy working. But yesterday, when driving to another city, I took wrong turns and lost my way. With my phone battery dead and no navigation device(设备) in my car, I had to stop and ask for help.
I saw an old man coming out of a house and asked if he knew the way to the city. At first, he was a little cautious because he didn’t know who I was, but when I told him that I had no technology to help me, he relaxed and started giving advice. He warned(提醒) me of the exit that could be easily missed and advised some places to have lunch. We talked about the rain, guessing whether it would soon stop and then said goodbye, and I went on my way.
Finally, I arrived at my hotel. Even though it rained all the time and I spent a good part of the drive in traffic, I felt wonderful. It was nice to know that a stranger really would like to spend some time helping me. I wish that I would ask for directions more often, not only while travelling, but also in everyday life. The directions I will get may not always be right, but they will always come from the heart.

B
在过去，向当地人问路是找到路最可靠的方法。他们不仅认识路，还了解交通情况、值得游览的有趣地方以及附近最有名的餐馆。
如今，科技提供了新的导航方式，比如在线驾驶导航和带有导航应用程序的智能手机。人们不必经常向别人问路，因为只要他们的手机有足够的电量和数据流量，导航就随时在他们的口袋里。
在过去的几年里，我因为忙于工作，没有机会旅行或问路。但昨天，在开车去另一个城市时，我转错了弯，迷路了。我的手机没电了，车里也没有导航设备，我只好停下来求助。
我看到一位老人从一所房子里走出来，就问他是否知道去那个城市的路。一开始，他有点谨慎，因为他不认识我，但当我告诉他我没有科技手段来帮助我时，他放松了下来，开始给我提建议。他提醒我注意那个很容易错过的出口，并推荐了一些吃午饭的地方。我们聊了聊雨，猜测它是否会很快停下来，然后就道别了，我继续赶路。
最后，我到达了我的酒店。尽管一直下雨，而且我在交通堵塞中花了很长时间开车，但我感觉很棒。知道一个陌生人真的愿意花时间帮助我，这种感觉很好。我希望我能更经常地问路，不仅是在旅行的时候，而且在日常生活中也是如此。我得到的指引可能并不总是正确的，但它们将永远发自内心。

（ ）5. 如今人们不必向别人问路是因为______。
A. 交通变化很大
B. 智能手机变得更便宜了

D. 当地人不再熟悉这个地区了
（ ）6. 第四段中划线的单词“cautious”是什么意思？

C. 生气的
D. 兴奋的
（ ）7. 作者到达酒店后感觉如何？
