北大附中2008-2009学年初三英语月考练习 阅读理解(B) Who did this? asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. Who did this? she asked again. She wasnt really asking, she was demanding an answer. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, Who broke this window? Oh, oh, I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose. It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me? If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? My father is going to get mad at me, I thought. I didnt want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than me pulled it up. I did it. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had. My teacher went to one of our library shelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me. I know how you like birds, Henry. she said as she stood looking down at my face. Here is that field guide about birds that you are always checking out. It is yours. We got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished. But remember, its only for your truthfulness. |
