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 certain grocery store in the neighborhood 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 day, 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 impressive 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 were the culprit. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for the broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.翻译这篇阅读理解~全国2007年4月高等教育自学考试英语阅读~最好可以找到那篇阅读~把答案给我~由于这个打不下那个问题了~所以拜托了~答的好~追加分
愿意承认自己的错误是大多数人所钦佩的品质.有时候说出简单的一句:“我错了.”极其艰难,然而说:“我错了, 你是对的.”就更难了. 最近有个人告诉我他在十五年前犯了一个错误.他告诉我,他曾经是我生长的地方的某个零售店经理,他还问我是否记得装鸡蛋的纸皮箱.然后我想到了一个事件,还模糊地记起这件事就是他正在描述的事.那时我大概8岁,我和妈妈走进商店开始一周购物.在那天,这件事肯定发生在我去乳制品店的路上.而且那天肯定有个鸡蛋促销活动 ,因为我印象深刻的记得有一打或半打纸箱的鸡蛋陈列着.这些纸箱叠放着大概有3或4英尺高.我一定是停了下来惊叹地注视着这叠箱子.就在这时,一个女士推着购物车过来,撞倒了箱子.不知什么原因,我觉得我应该把这些箱子重新摆好,于是我开始工作.商店经理听到了响声跑出来看发生了什么.当他在我面前时,我正在跪着检查箱子看看是否有鸡蛋破损,但是在他看来我好像就是肇事者.他严厉地斥责我,并要求我赔偿破损的鸡蛋.我辩护道我是无辜的并向他解释,但徒劳无功.即使我很快就忘了这件事,显然那个经理并没有.
