One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. ” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（紙箱）. Then he talked of an accident and I began to remember the incident he was describing.

I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the accident took place.

There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart(推車) and knocked off the pile of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work.

The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame(應(yīng)負(fù)責(zé)任). He scolded(責(zé)備)me loudly and wanted me to pay for those broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, the manager did not.

69. How old was the author when he wrote this article?

A. About 8 years old.           B. About 18 years old.

C. About 23 years old.          D. About 15 years old.

70. Who was to blame for knocking off the pile of cartons?

A. A woman.            B. The manager.        

C. The author.           D. The author’s mother.

71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The author was loudly scolded by the manager.

B. The woman who knocked off the pile of cartons was seriously scolded by the manager.

C. The author didn’t remember the incident until the manager talked of it.

D. It was the author who put the cartons back together.

72. The tone of the article expresses the author’s _____.

A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit his mistake

B. anger to the manager for his wrong doing

C. dissatisfaction with the woman who knocked off the pile of cartons

D. regret for the mistake he had made in the store
