听力原文： I didn't know the city at all and what is more, I couldn't speak a word of the language. However, I decided to try out the pleasure of adventure. I got on a bus and it took me to a place that appeared to be a suburb.

I was fascinated by its pure natural scenery and the little book-stores I found in back streets. Time passed quickly and it was time to go back to my hotel for lunch. After walking aimlessly for some time, I determined to ask the way.

I first asked a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he thrust the paper into my hands. Hopelessly, I gave him the money and went on my way. The next person I asked was an old lady buying vegetables. She was very hard of hearing. I kept repeating the name of the street into her ear. When she finally heard me, she seemed to take offence and began shouting and shaking her walking-stick at me. I hurried away quickly. In frustration, I was overwhelmed with the delight of seeing a policeman on the comer. Gently he took me by the arm and pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour later I found myself between large fields of green crops. I had come all the way into the country.
