I have forgotten the name of the old lady,who was a customer of mine when I sent newspapers in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. She taught me a lesson in for- giveness which I shall never forget. On a winter afternoon,a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. The aim of our game was to watch how the stones changed to missiles (导弹)as they rolled to the roof’s edge(边缘) and shot out into the yard like comets(彗 星) falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. It flew straight not to the roof but to a small win- dow. At the sound of crashed glass,we knew we were in trouble and ran away. I was too scared about getting caught to be worried about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However,a few days later,when I was sure that I hadn’ t been discovered,I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I sent her newspapers, but I was unable to act comfortably in front of her. I made up my mind that I would save my money,and in three weeks I had the seven dollars to cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until it was dark, walked quietly to the old lady’ s house,and put the letter without my name on it through the letter box in her door. My soul felt relaxed and I could have the courage to look straight into the old lady’s kind eyes. The next day,I handed the old lady her newspaper and was able to return the warm smile. She thanked me for the newspaper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and began to eat the cookies and continued to send the rest news- papers. After several cookies,I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope,I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said,“ I’m proud of you!” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )1. How old is the writer now? A. 12. 　 　 　 　 B. 43. 　 　 　 　 C. 55. 　 　 　 　 D. 31. (　 　 )2.
