完形填空
This happened to me at the age of twelve. I can’t remember the name of the old lady, but she is still in my today. She taught me a lesson in tolerance (宽容), which I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. I found a perfectly smooth stone and threw it out. However, the stone was too smooth, so it slipped (滑) from my hands. It headed straight not for the roof but for a small on the old lady’s back porch (门廊). At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and away.
I was too scared about getting caught by the old lady that first night. , a few days later, when I was sure that I wasn’t discovered (发现), I started to feel guilty (感到内疚的). She greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.

I decided to for her window with the paper delivery (递送) money I collected. I put the money in an envelope (信封), with a note saying I was for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would be enough for repairing it.
I waited it was dark, snuck (偷偷地走) up to the old lady’s house and put the letter I didn’t sign at the door. Once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight the old lady’s kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was from her. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies.
Reaching for the cookies, I an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised to see the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you!”
