三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

A

I lifted the pencil. It was time to copy down notes.

“No,” the pencil begged, “don’t dig your finger-nails (手指甲) into my wood. It hurts!”

“I’m sorry, pencil. I’ll try to be gentle. I promise. So just relax,” I said.

“How can I relax with you pressing me in my side?” The pencil moved from side to side in my fingertips.

“Please, just relax!” I struggled to take it with both hands, but just couldn’t. Oh, what a fuss we were making! The whole class was glancing (瞥一眼) over their shoulders to watch me.

“Shh, pencil!” I struggled with it as it tried hard to slip out of my finger. But I wouldn’t let go. “Just…just stop it!”

“I’ll never stay!” The pencil wailed (号哭) so loudly that every student turned their heads.

My cheeks burned bright red. “Um… sorry. I was j-just trying t-to t-to…” What could I say? My pencil was escaping my hands. I would never say that!

“Please, I just want to get out of this place! If you want, get another pencil. Just leave me alone!” the pencil said.

I would do anything to get rid of it. I let the pencil drop hard onto the desk.

“I’m free!” It screamed. Then it dropped onto the floor and rolled out of the classroom. I frowned at the door as I watched my pencil escape. Then I looked up.

“Uh-oh.” My face grew white. The whole class was looking at me with their eyes as big as saucers. And then I saw her—Mrs. Peppel!

She glared at me.

I tried to smile and said, “I’m sorry.”

Mrs. Peppel, without changing her expression, put the chalk down and went out of the room. After a minute or so, Mrs. Peppel returned, holding my pencil in her hand. She put the pencil on my desk and then asked me with a twinkle in her eyes, “We’re not going to have any more trouble, are we?”

“No, ma’am,” the pencil and I said shyly.
