专题09 任务型阅读（回答问题） 1.(2023·浙江省杭州市·期中考试) Dear Paul, I had a bad day at school yesterday. Let me tell you about it. It was ten past nine and we were waiting for our teacher. She was late. I was alone at my desk because my deskmate Helen was in hospital on that day. I was reading some messages on my mobile phone. Two boys from my class, Bob and Peter, were fighting. Maria was copying Nancy’s homework because she never did her homework by herself. One boy, Eric was even drawing on the wall. Suddenly, Mrs Green came into the classroom. She was very angry. She stopped in front of my desk, looked at me and said, "Why are you using your mobile phone in class? You’re breaking the school rule!" "But Mrs Green, I wasn’t using my mobile phone. I was only reading some messages," I said. "Why are you angry with me?" Mrs Green thought I was lying (撒谎) to her. "Don’t be rude. Ben! You are using your mobile phone!" she said. Then she sent me to the head teacher’s office. The head teacher punished (惩罚) me, but he didn’t punish others. What should I do, Paul?
