阅读下列短文,从每题所给的(A、B、C和D)四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  One of the quahlies that most people admire in others isthe willingness to admit one's mistakes.It is extremely hardsometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,”and it is even harder to say,“I was wrong,and you were rightabout that.”

  I had an experience recently with someone admitting tome that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.He told mehe had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhoodwhere I grew up,and he asked me if I remembered the eggcartons(in many countries,eggs are sold by the dozen and areput in cartons.).Then he related an incident and I began toremember unclearly the incident he was describing.

  I was about eight years old at the time.I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping.On that particular day.I must have found my way to the food department wherethe incident took place.

  There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.The cartons were put three or four feet high.I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons.Just then awoman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons.Forsome reason,I decided it was up to me to put theeggs back together,so I went to work.

  The manager heard the noise and came rushing over tosee what had happened.When he appeared,I was on myknees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the egg were broken,but to him it looked as though I was the on who just did it.He severely reprimanded me and wanted meto pay for any broken eggs.I tried to explain,but it did no good.Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident,it is plain that the manager did not.
