五、(2024·扬州江都区八校期中改编)阅读理解。
“Why did she spill the beans (泄露秘密)?” I asked myself. I’ll always remember that day when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship with the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in the class. I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person I had ever known. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way.
I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school. It was like someone had stabbed (刺) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me and looking at me whenever I passed by! I had to transfer to another school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken.
I tried hard to heal (康复) from the pain she left in my heart. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna, my classmate in the third grade. She told me that it was Mary who revealed my secrets. Mary was the big mouth in our school who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business.
I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and make up for my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really harm our lives.
