Ever since I graduated from high school I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so glad to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part (部件) backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off (下岗) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other choices have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.” she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
4. What does the author think of his summer holiday
A. It brought him nothing but suffering.
B. It was no holiday for him at all.
C. It was a relief from his tough work at school.
D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.
5. What can we infer about most college students
A. They do better in the real world.
B. They think too highly of themselves.
C. They are expert at handling machines.
D. They are confident when they work.
6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers
A. A low income. B. A changeable location.
C. The lack of security. D. Less break.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward his working experiences
A. Approving B. Doubtful C. Unclear D. Appreciative
C
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all don’t have enough conversational ability. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s embarrassing and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s a valuable social practice that leads to big benefits.
It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if there weren’t casual conversations. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people to a coffee shop. One group was asked to interact (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network is important for our happiness and health.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging, a link with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
8. What does the underline word “casual” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addictive B. Impressive C. Personal D. Informal
9. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Making business deals
C. Focusing on a topic D. Keeping in contact with other people.
10. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It raises people’s confidence. B. It makes people feel good.
C. It improves family relationships. D. It matters as much as a formal talk.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk
C. Importance of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence
D
There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that Open AI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread (主线；思路) of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It obtains its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAIGPT-3 family of large language models using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative (权威的). A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, achieving in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research stage. But when too many people visit the site, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try it at a later time when fewer people are trying to access (访问) it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT cannot replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its design inspiration.
C. Its working theory. D. Its development process.
13. Why are the figures listed in paragraph 3
A. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
B. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
C. To prove the necessity of developing ChatGPT.
D. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
14 What is ChatGPT Plus intended to do
A. To charge users for extra functions.
B. To allow net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. To offer consumers easier access during peak hours.
D. To help researchers find the failure of the system.
15. What is the limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It updates information at a fixed time.
C. It takes more time to search for solutions.
D. It serves a certain number of customers at a time.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s a picture we often see. ____16____ He is trying not to fall asleep as his teacher drills (训练) the class in the body structure of a man: the heart is here; the lungs are here… The teacher then gives the class a worksheet and asks them to answer questions like which body parts go where. At the end of the period, the only way to measure whether the students have learned anything is based on this worksheet and the unit test.
____17____ Primary school students walk into a classroom and see a basic skeleton (骨架) with models of the heart, lungs, and the stomach lying on a table in the center of the room. Students gather around in a circle, see the model organs (器官), laugh, and begin to guess the name of each body part and its function. Through trial and error, they figure out where each model organ fits in the skeleton.
The differences between these two types of classes are obvious. One has students actively involved. The other relies on direct instruction, rote learning (死记硬背), and remembering information for the test. One is memorable for students. _____18_____. Which lesson will leave a lasting impression
____19____ Why Lessons should be based on students’ psychological needs and help them achieve learning outcomes. If an educator takes a child’s development into consideration, he or she can prepare lessons that will not only engage the student but also leave a lasting impression.
Many famous educators like John Dewey have written about student-centered learning and they think highly of it. But many teachers are still adopting a wait-and-see approach to it. ____20____
A. Now imagine another picture.
B. Classes should be made effective and meaningful.
C. The other relies on students memorizing information.
D. A primary school student sits at his desk and looks bored.
E. Classes that rely on student-centered learning are more effective.
F. Whatever the reasons are, educators are making efforts to make a change.
G. Students thus actively participate instead of passively receiving knowledge.

I thought it was a great idea, so I agreed. When we arrived at the school, we started playing. But suddenly, something terrible happened. The ball got out of control and hit through one of the classroom windows, breaking the glass into pieces. We looked around and saw that nobody was there, except for an old man sitting nearby.
I whispered to my brother, “What should we do now ”
“Well,” my brother replied, “Nobody saw us, except for that old man. But he probably can’t see this far, and he doesn’t know who we are anyway.”

For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so glad to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part (部件) backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off (下岗) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other choices have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.” she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all don’t have enough conversational ability. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s embarrassing and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s a valuable social practice that leads to big benefits.
It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if there weren’t casual conversations. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people to a coffee shop. One group was asked to interact (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network is important for our happiness and health.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging, a link with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
8. What does the underline word “casual” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addictive B. Impressive C. Personal D. Informal
9. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Making business deals
C. Focusing on a topic D. Keeping in contact with other people.
10. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It raises people’s confidence. B. It makes people feel good.
C. It improves family relationships. D. It matters as much as a formal talk.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk
C. Importance of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是闲聊是一种有价值的社会实践，会带来很大的好处。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist(人们很容易认为闲聊是不重要的，但我们不能忘记，深厚的关系甚至不会存在)”可知，人们认为闲聊不重要，但是如果没有……的对话，深厚的关系甚至不会存在，所以闲聊很重要，由此可知，如果没有“闲聊”，深厚的关系甚至不会存在，由此可知，该单词的意思应与“闲聊”意思相关，结合选项可知，闲聊应该是非正式的对话，所以，该代词的意思应为“非正式的”。故选D项
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.(成功闲聊的秘诀是学会如何与他人沟通，而不仅仅是与他们交流。)”可知，Bernardo Carducci认为，学会与他人沟通是成功闲聊的秘诀，由此可知，与他人保持联系对成功的闲聊很重要。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.(结果显示，那些与服务员聊天的人表现出明显更高的积极情绪和更好的咖啡馆体验。)”可知，与服务员聊天的人表现的情绪更积极，而且咖啡馆体验更好，结合下文中的“But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network is important for our happiness and health.(但与社交网络外围成员的互动对我们的幸福和健康很重要。)”可知，与社交网络以外的人互动对我们的幸福和健康很重要，综合以上信息可知，闲聊能够让我们的感觉更好。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s a valuable social practice that leads to big benefits.(但下次当你发现自己身处陌生人之中时，考虑一下，闲聊是值得的。专家表示，这是一种有价值的社会实践，会带来很大的好处。)”可知，专家指出，闲聊是有价值的社会实践，会带了很多好处，结合尾段中的“Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging, a link with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.(邓恩认为，与陌生人接触的人会有更大的归属感，与他人建立联系。卡杜奇认为，培养这种归属感始于闲聊。)”可知，Dunn和Carducci认为与其他人进行闲聊会让我们有更大的归属感，结合文章对闲聊的重要性的介绍可知，本文主要讲述的是闲聊的好处，所以本文的标题为“闲聊的好处”概括了本文的主题。故选C项。

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that Open AI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread (主线；思路) of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It obtains its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAIGPT-3 family of large language models using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative (权威的). A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, achieving in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research stage. But when too many people visit the site, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try it at a later time when fewer people are trying to access (访问) it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT cannot replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its design inspiration.
C. Its working theory. D. Its development process.
13. Why are the figures listed in paragraph 3
A. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
B To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
C. To prove the necessity of developing ChatGPT.
D. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended to do
A. To charge users for extra functions.
B To allow net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. To offer consumers easier access during peak hours.
D. To help researchers find the failure of the system.
15. What is the limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It updates information at a fixed time.
C. It takes more time to search for solutions.
D. It serves a certain number of customers at a time.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“ChatGPT remembers the thread (主线；思路) of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses.(ChatGPT记住对话的线程，使用之前的问题和答案来告知它的下一个回应。)”可知，ChatGPT 使用之前的问题和答案来进行下一个回应，结合下文中的“ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAIGPT-3 family of large language models using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).(ChatGPT建立在OpenAIGPT-3系列大型语言模型之上，使用监督学习和强化学习。)”可知，ChatGPT是建立在OpenAIGPT-3系列大型语言模型之上，由此可知，本段介绍的是ChatGPT的如何作出回应以及它的建设基础，所以该段介绍的是它的工作原理。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, achieving in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.(上线几天后，超过100万人试用了ChatGPT。瑞银(UBS)分析师劳埃德·沃姆斯利(Lloyd Walmsley)在2023年2月估计，ChatGPT在1月份的月用户数达到1亿，用了2个月的时间就完成了TikTok花了9个月、Instagram花了两年半的时间的任务。)”可知，在上线几天就有100万人试用ChatGPT，且ChatGPT在1月的用户达到了1亿，在2个月的时间之内就完成了TikTok和Instagram花费更久的时间的任务，由此可知，这些数据表明了ChatGPT非常受欢迎。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times.

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.(因为它的编程，ChatGPT的知识有限，但谷歌有无限的知识，每天在更新。)”由此可知，与谷歌相比，ChatGPT的知识有限，谷歌的知识在每天都更新，由此可知，ChatGPT的局限性是基于有限的数据运行。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s a picture we often see. ____16____ He is trying not to fall asleep as his teacher drills (训练) the class in the body structure of a man: the heart is here; the lungs are here… The teacher then gives the class a worksheet and asks them to answer questions like which body parts go where. At the end of the period, the only way to measure whether the students have learned anything is based on this worksheet and the unit test.
____17____ Primary school students walk into a classroom and see a basic skeleton (骨架) with models of the heart, lungs, and the stomach lying on a table in the center of the room. Students gather around in a circle, see the model organs (器官), laugh, and begin to guess the name of each body part and its function. Through trial and error, they figure out where each model organ fits in the skeleton.
The differences between these two types of classes are obvious. One has students actively involved. The other relies on direct instruction, rote learning (死记硬背), and remembering information for the test. One is memorable for students. _____18_____. Which lesson will leave a lasting impression
____19____ Why Lessons should be based on students’ psychological needs and help them achieve learning outcomes. If an educator takes a child’s development into consideration, he or she can prepare lessons that will not only engage the student but also leave a lasting impression.
Many famous educators like John Dewey have written about student-centered learning and they think highly of it. But many teachers are still adopting a wait-and-see approach to it. ____20____
A. Now imagine another picture.
B. Classes should be made effective and meaningful.
C. The other relies on students memorizing information.
D. A primary school student sits at his desk and looks bored.
E. Classes that rely on student-centered learning are more effective.
F. Whatever the reasons are, educators are making efforts to make a change.
G. Students thus actively participate instead of passively receiving knowledge.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过两种不同场景的教学模式来介绍“以学生为中心”的教学方法。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“It’s a picture we often see.(这是我们经常看到的画面。)”可知，下文描述的应是一个经常看到的上课的场景，根据空后的“He is trying not to fall asleep as his teacher drills (训练) the class in the body structure of a man: the heart is here; the lungs are here…(老师在课堂上演练人体结构时，他努力不让自己睡着：心在这里；肺在这里……)”可知，学生在努力不让自己睡着，由此可推断，此空应是一幅上课无聊的场景，D选项“A primary school student sits at his desk and looks bored.”讲述的是一个小学生坐在桌子前，看起来很无聊的场景，符合语境。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据空后的“Primary school students walk into a classroom and see a basic skeleton (骨架) with models of the heart, lungs, and the stomach lying on a table in the center of the room.(小学生们走进教室，看到教室中央的桌子上放着一个基本的骨架和心脏、肺和胃的模型。)”可知，此处讲述的是教室内的布置与首段中的场景完全不同，由此可推断，该段讲述的是另外一个教学场景，A选项“Now imagine another picture.(现在想象另一幅图。)”引出另一幅教学的场景，符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据第三段的主题句“The differences between these two types of classes are obvious.( 这两类课堂之间的区别是显而易见的。)”可知，本段讲述的是两种课堂的区别，根据空前的“One has students actively involved. The other relies on direct instruction, rote learning (死记硬背), and remembering information for the test.(一种是让学生积极参与。另一种依赖于直接指导、死记硬背和记忆考试信息)”可知，此处对两种教学课堂的不同进行分析，一种教学让学生积极参与，另一种依靠直接指导、死记硬背和考试信息，分析语篇特点并结合空前的“One is memorable for students.(一个是让学生难忘的。)”可知，此空处应分析另外一种教学模式的特点，C选项“The other relies on students memorizing information.(另一种是依靠学生记忆信息。)”讲述的是另一种教学模式特点，符合语篇结构。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，根据空后的“Why Lessons should be based on students’ psychological needs and help them achieve learning outcomes. If an educator takes a child’s development into consideration, he or she can prepare lessons that will not only engage the student but also leave a lasting impression. (为什么？课程应该基于学生的心理需求，帮助他们取得学习成果。如果一个教育工作者考虑到孩子的发展，他或她就可以准备不仅会吸引学生，而且会留下持久的印象的课程)”可推断，本段分析的是以学生为中心的教学方法，E选项“Classes that rely on student-centered learning are more effective.(以学生为中心的课程更有效。)”讲述的是以“学生为中心”的教学方法更胜一筹，且概括了本段的主题。故选E项。
【20题详解】
分析语篇可知，此空位于段尾，应是对全文进行总结，根据空前的“Many famous educators like John Dewey have written about student-centered learning and they think highly of it. But many teachers are still adopting a wait-and-see approach to it.(许多著名的教育家，如约翰·杜威，都写过以学生为中心的学习，他们对这种学习方式评价很高。但许多教师对此仍持观望态度。)”可知，前文讲到了许多教育家的观点和许多老师的观点形成对比，F选项“Whatever the reasons are, educators are making efforts to make a change.(不管原因是什么，教育工作者正在努力做出改变。)”中的“whatever the reasons are”承接了空前提到的人们对以“学生为中心”的不同反应，且对全文做出总结，符合语境。故选F项。

One Saturday morning, my brother came up with a good idea. He said, “Hey, let’s take our ball to the school to play.”
I thought it was a great idea, so I agreed. When we arrived at the school, we started playing. But suddenly, something terrible happened. The ball got out of control and hit through one of the classroom windows, breaking the glass into pieces. We looked around and saw that nobody was there, except for an old man sitting nearby.
I whispered to my brother, “What should we do now ”
“Well,” my brother replied, “Nobody saw us, except for that old man. But he probably can’t see this far, and he doesn’t know who we are anyway.”
As we got the ball and started going home, we talked about whether we should tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we get punished for our mistake Or should we just keep it a secret We thought about these things again and again on our way home.

【答案】Possible version 1:
When we arrived at home, we decided to tell the truth to our parents. Gathering the courage, we told them the truth. After a moment of silence, Dad said seriously, “Well, you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake. You must pay for the window, but that is what responsibility means.” To our joy, our parents didn’t blame us.
On Monday, my brother and I went to see the headmaster. With our hearts beating wildly, we entered the headmaster’s office and poured the whole story. Smiling, he told us he had known it from the old man, our school gatekeeper, and he was glad we were there. He said the school budget allows for window repair, so we needn’t worry. From this we learn honesty is the best policy.
Possible version 2:
When we arrived at home, we decided to tell the truth to our parents. Taking a deep breath, my brother and I sat down with our parents and explained what had happened at the school. To our surprise, instead of becoming angry, our parents praised us for being honest. They suggest we should take the responsibility and pay for the window.
On Monday, my brother and I went to see the headmaster. To our relief, when we explained the situation and apologized for the broken window, the headmaster praised us for coming forward and taking responsibility for our actions. He then decided we need to do some extra chores around the school to pay for the broken window. We were glad to accept the decision and learned the importance of honesty and responsibility.
