根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向). Unluckily, 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 to ask people the way. And so I used to walk around in circles 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 get helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone asks me the way somewhere, I will say, "Sorry, I am new 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(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine(想象) how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.
