Part II. Reading Comprehension
Passage One
I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble.I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test,the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. So I leanedover her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. Sheshowed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extraone, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in theroom when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she beganto talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was tostand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a longtime, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people dosomething dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that Iwould think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I couldleave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about allthose things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw melean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from thegirl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemedvery strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked tome right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favorby letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on thetest.

Passage Two
My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up withouteducation. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached ournew home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with manybears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond "reading,writing, and adding."

Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still,somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now madeis on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.
