一、阅读理解
When I was a twelve - year - old newspaper boy, an old lady who was my customer lived near my house. I have even forgotten her name. On a winter afternoon, I was playing with my friend near the old lady’s backyard. I found a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out, but the stone hit a small window of her house. Suddenly, we saw the old lady standing behind the window. We knew we were in trouble, and r away quickly. We were scared that we would be caught and didn’t worry about the old lady with the broken window in winter.
The next morning, she was still greeting me with a smile when I gave her the newspaper. I made up my mind to save my money to correct my mistake. After four weeks, I had ten dollars. I put the money i an envelope(信封) with a note explaining everything and hoped that the ten dollars would cover the cos for repairing the window.
I waited until it was dark, and put the envelope in her door. The next day, I handed the old lady he newspaper and she thanked me for it as usual and gave me a bag of cookies. After eating several cookie I found an envelope and pulled it out. When I opened it, I was surprised. Inside were the ten dollars an a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.” I smiled in relief(宽慰). However, I shall never forget tho lesson she taught me: It is a virtue(美德)to excuse a mistake
