One of the qualities that most people admire is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple tiling 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 who admitted to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons(纸盒). Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.
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. She was pushing her grocery cart and she knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided I would put the display back together, so I started to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I Was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I had caused the incident. He severely reprimanded(斥责)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 statements is NOT true?
选项
A、The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager.
B、The autiior was severely criticized by the manager.
C、A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons.
D、It was the author who put the display back together.
答案
A
解析
由文中第四段得知,经理赶过来的时候,我正跪在地上收拾撞翻的盒子,所以经理误认为是我惹的祸并狠狠地批评了我。
