When I spent that summer with my grandmother, she asked me to go shopping in the store with a list. Behind the counter (柜台) was a lady like no one I'd ever seen.
"Excuse me, I need to get these," I said, holding up my list.
She looked up and said, "I'm Miss Bee. I think you need to go and get them by yourself." Miss Bee pointed to a sign. "There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant (仆人), so get yourself a basket and get all you want by yourself."
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged (少找零钱) me. Other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle (战斗). All summer long she found ways to *trip me up*. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce "bicarbonate of soda (小苏打)" and remembered its position on the shelf, than Miss Bee changed the order of things and made me look for it all over again. But by the end of the summer, the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return home, I stopped in to get a packet of candy.
"All right, little girl," she said. "What did you learn this summer?"
"That you're bad!" I replied.
Miss Bee just laughed and said, "I know what you think of me. Well, I don't care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older, you'll be glad our paths crossed!"
Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was funny!
Until one day, my daughter came to me with homework problems. "It's too hard," she said. "Could you finish my Maths problems for me?"
"If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?" I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store where I had learned the hard way to add up my money by myself. Have I ever been overcharged since then?
As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out a notebook and started writing...
(
A. cause me to make a mistake
B. make me walk a short way
C. offer me a guide in direction
D. make me lose my way
(
A. On the day she was first at Miss Bee's shop.
B. On the morning she was going to return home.
C. The next summer she spent with her grandmother again.
D. At the moment she refused to help her daughter with her homework.
(
A. The best teacher isn't the only in school
B. Stick to (坚持) your dream whatever happens
C. Don't be so quick to tell what a person is like
D. Don't always expect to be helped when you are in trouble

### 四、阅读理解
那年夏天我和祖母在一起的时候，她让我拿着一张清单去商店购物。柜台后面有一位我从未见过的女士。
“打扰一下，我需要买这些东西。”我说着，举起了我的清单。
她抬起头说：“我是比小姐。我认为你需要自己去拿这些东西。”比小姐指着一个牌子。“这里除了你和我没有别人，而且我不是你的仆人，所以你自己拿一个篮子，自己把你想要的东西都拿上。”
那个夏天我去了比小姐的商店几次。有时她少找我零钱。有时她多收我的钱。去商店就像进入一场战斗。整个夏天，她都想方设法给我制造麻烦。我刚学会如何念“小苏打”，并记住了它在货架上的位置，比小姐就把东西的摆放顺序换了，又让我重新找它。但到夏天结束时，曾经要花我一个小时的购物之旅，15分钟就完成了。
我要回家的那天早上，我顺便进去买一包糖果。
“好了，小姑娘。”她说，“这个夏天你学到了什么？”
“你很坏！”我回答道。
比小姐只是笑着说：“我知道你是怎么看我的。嗯，我不在乎！我的工作是给我遇到的每个孩子传授人生经验。等你长大了，你会很高兴我们相遇过的！”
很高兴我遇到了比小姐？哈！这个想法很可笑！
直到有一天，我的女儿拿着作业题来找我。“这太难了。”她说，“你能帮我做完数学题吗？”
“如果我帮你做了，你怎么能学会自己做呢？”我说。突然，我回到了那个商店，在那里我曾艰难地学会了自己数钱。从那以后我有没有被多收过钱呢？
当我的女儿回去做她的作业时，我在想：比小姐多年前真的教过我一些东西吗？我拿出一个笔记本，开始写……
1. 第4段中划线短语“trip me up”的意思是“______”。
A. 让我犯错
B. 让我走一小段路
C. 给我指明方向
D. 让我迷路
2. 作者什么时候理解了比小姐？
A. 在她第一次去比小姐商店的那天。
B. 在她要回家的那天早上。
C. 她再次和祖母一起度过的下一个夏天。
D. 在她拒绝帮助女儿做家庭作业的那一刻。
3. 在故事的结尾，作者可能会在笔记本上写下以下内容，除了“______”。
A. 最好的老师不只是在学校里
B. 无论发生什么都要坚持你的梦想
C. 不要这么快就评判一个人的为人
D. 当你遇到困难时，不要总是期望得到帮助
