Ⅳ. 阅读理解。
Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10-month-old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I began to feel lonely. In order to make myself have a happy and full morning, I had a plan. I like drawing, so I decided to do some drawing, but I didn’t know what to draw. So, I gave up soon. Then I wanted to see something interesting on TV, but there was no interesting programme. Suddenly I touched the candles on the shelf. I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火焰) I’d expected and I couldn’t blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then luckily I got my dad’s boots(靴子) and stamped it out.
I thought I was safe until I found there was a huge hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded(关禁闭) and in trouble for months. Even worse though, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.
