题目内容

　　When I was twenty seven years old, I was a clerk in San Francisco, and an expert at stock（股票）. I was content with the prospect（前景）.

　　One day I ventured in a small boat too far, and was carried out to sea．Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig（双桅船）which was bound for London. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.

　　About ten o'clock on the following morning, thirsty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed （牵着）by a nurse-maid, threw a luscious（甘甜的）big pear--minus one bite--into the gutter（排水沟）. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved（恳求）it, my whole being begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent（无关紧要的）, and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. I was just getting desperate（不顾一切的）enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying,

　　“Step in here, please.”

　　I was admitted by a well-dressed flunkey（仆役）, and shown into a sumptuous（华丽的）room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant. and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could.

[　　]

A．in France

　　“I swear, I didn't steal anything!” I shouted over the alarm．Obviously the security guard didn't believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand．

　　“Do you have a receipt of this?” he asked doubtfully, putting any new back-to-school outfit(全套设备)onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance．

　　“Of course I do,” I replied, fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket．Elsie and Monica, my two best friends, stood beside me．They were laughing their heads off!

　　I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt, but it had disappeared．“Let me look again,” I said nervously．Then I looked again, and again, and again!My face was getting hotter by the minute, and my heart was beating like a racehorse．．w．^w．k．s．

　　Finally, I looked back at the guard and whispered, “It's not here．” The guard picked up my clothes and said, “You'll have to come with me, Miss．”

　　When he opened the office door, I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk．It was the manager．Then I had an idea．

　　“May I say something?”I asked．“I can prove I didn't steal this thing．” “Then I explained all about the cashier(出纳员)．She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister．” “We'll just see about that,” the manager said and went off to find her．Ten minutes later, I was free!

　　It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something!Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very morning for taking my new hair clips．

　　Had she really taken them?I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof, and I haven't．At last, something good came out of my terrible experience．
