I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated in the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated in the test.

第三部分:阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning once belonging to others. Soon the shoes will have new owners: underprivileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Soles (SOS) charity.

A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura Woodburn was once sidelined for months with food injuries.

"I started thinking about all the things I got from running -- the health benefits, the friendships, the confidence," he says. "And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes."

Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers, and then put out a call to teammates. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, ("everything snowballed" he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year- round effort.

Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes mad the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.

In just under three years, Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles: the original in Ventura, another at USC, and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January, when a student there wrote asking to get involved. The organization's website, shareoursoles.org, keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks (the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children).
