四、阅读理解。
I was in a strange city, and I could not speak a word of the language. After spending my first day in the town centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know the strange city.
I rode on a bus for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. I wanted to ask the way. But the trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street my hotel was in.
I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook(摇) my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
