One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. (79)
It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that, " and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that. "
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me mat he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.
(80)
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.
The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.
Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
选项
A、It’s Harder to Admit One’s Mistake.
B、I Was Once the Culprit.
C、I Remember an Incident.
D、A Case of Mistaken Identity.
答案
B
解析
本题考查对全文中心思想的概括,有一定的难度。A项不是作者想要在本文中表达的思想,A项只是一个客观的事实。C项也不对,因为作者早已经忘了这件事情,是那个经理让他一点点回忆起来的。D项的意思是错误的人物身份识别,可是这句话并没有体现文中“作者是无辜的”这一关键思想,所以D项不对。经过排除,我们的答案锁定在B。
