【典例1】

I found out one time that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time and having a math test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me spoke to me in a low voice but I didn’t hear it clearly. So I leaned(靠) over to her and found out she was trying to ask me if I had a free pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink. I happened to have one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test paper had been handed in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room after all the other students left home. As soon as we are alone, she began to talk to me about what is meant to grow up. She told me how important it was to stand on my own feet and be responsible for my own mistake. She also talked about being honest and made me promise that I would think carefully about all that she had said, and then she told me I would leave.

I walked out of the room and didn’t know why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later I found that she still thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl, it looked as if I was copy answers from her papers. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed surprising to her that I didn’t tell her anything about the pen the day she talked to me after the test, I’m sure she still believed I had cheated on the test.
