Question

【题目】 Yesterday Dr. Hill put braces（牙箍）on my teeth. When she finished doing it, she walked me out to the front desk. She told Grandma would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked “Sounds like she put a washing machine in your mouth, doesn’t it. Amy？” joked Grandma. Then Dr. Hill give me an appointment for 2: 30 p.m. on October 28th. Oh, well, I guess getting out of school early to see Dr. Hill will be one good thing about having braces.

Other things are not so good. When I woke up this morning. My mouth really hurt. I couldn’t eat any bread or meat. Finally Mom mashed（捣烂）banana and mixed it with some milk in the honey, which tasted good. At school, my friends tried to be nice about my braces. Benny said he could hardly notice them unless I smiled. (Note to myself: Try not to smile too much.) Angel said they made me look more grown-up. And Keith thanked me for joining him. He said my braces looked nicer than his.

Of course, Charlie had mean things to say. First he called me Brace Face, and then he called me Metal Mouth. I ignored (不理睬) him, but he kept laughing and pointing. He didn’t stop until Mrs. Fremont gave him one of her looks. Right now, Dr. Hill’s not sure how long I’ll have to wear the braces. But it may be at least nine months. That seems like a long, long time.

细节理解题，根据“She told Grandma I would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked.”她告诉奶奶，我两周后必须回来检查我的牙套。和“Then Dr. Hill gave me an appointment (预约) for 2:30 pm on 28th October.” 然后希尔医生给了我10月28日下午2：30的预约。可知28号的两周前应该是14号也就是文章中说的今天，又因为“When I woke up this morning, my mouth really hurt.” 今天早上醒来的时候，我的嘴真的很疼。故选B。
