One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes.
It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that. "
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighbor-hood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an im-pressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.
The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to ex-plain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. [br] The tone of the article expresses the author’s ______.
选项
A、admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes
B、anger to the manager for his wrong accusation
C、indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons
D、regret for the mistake he made in the store
答案
A
解析
作者开篇就指出一个人能说出“我错了”这样的话是相当不容易的,而文中又讲了一个商店的经理在事隔15年之后向作者道歉。所以作者的态度很明显,没有责怪谁的意思,因为事情都已经过去,并且作者当时很快就忘记了,作者有的只是对那个经理的佩服,因为他敢于在15年之后承认自己的错误。所以本题的答案应该选择A。
