In another corner of the room were a gas burner (煤气灶) and a fridge. Mrs Jones got up and walked there. She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run now, nor did she watch her handbag, which she left behind her on the sofa. But the boy was careful to sit on the far side of the room, away from the bag, where he thought she could easily see him out of the corner of her eye if she wanted to. He did not trust the woman not to trust him. And he did not want anyone to doubt him now.
“Do you need anyone to go to the store,” asked the boy, “maybe to get some milk or other things?”
“Don’t believe I do,” said the woman, “unless (除非) you just want sweet milk yourself. I’m going to make chocolate milk.”
“That will be fine,” said the boy.
Mrs Jones heated some cooked food she had in the fridge and set the table. She didn’t ask the boy anything about where he lived, or his parents, or anything else that would embarrass (使……尴尬) him. Instead, as they ate, she told him about her job in a hotel beauty shop that stayed open late, what the work was like, and how all kinds of women came in and out. Then she cut him half of her cake. “Eat some more, son,” she said.
When they finished eating, Mrs Jones got up and said, “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede (软皮的) shoes. And, next time, do not make the mistake of stealing (偷) my bag nor nobody else’s — because shoes got in this way will burn your feet. I’ve got to get my rest now. But, son, I hope you will behave yourself from now on.”
The woman led the way down the hall to the front door and opened it. “Good night! Behave yourself, boy!” she said, looking into the street as he went down the steps.
The boy wanted to say something other than “Thank you, ma’am” to Mrs Jones. His mouth moved, but he couldn’t even say that. He turned at the front of the steps and looked up at the large woman in the door. Then Mrs Jones shut the door. And the boy never saw her again.
(
A. Mrs Jones knew the boy was going to run.
B. In fact, Mrs Jones trusted the boy.
C. Mrs Jones hid her handbag behind her on the sofa.
D. Mrs Jones left her handbag on the sofa on purpose to test the boy.

A. Because he was too afraid.
B. Because Mrs Jones asked him to.

房间的另一个角落里有一个煤气灶和一台冰箱。琼斯夫人起身走向那里。她没有留意那个男孩看他现在是否会逃跑，也没有留意她的手提包，那个她落在身后沙发上的手提包。但男孩很小心地坐在房间较远的一侧，远离那个包，他认为如果琼斯夫人想的话，她从眼角的余光中就能很容易地看到他。他不相信这位女士会信任他。而且他现在不想让任何人怀疑他。
“你需要有人去商店吗，”男孩问道，“比如买些牛奶或者其他东西？”
“我想不需要，”女士说，“除非你自己就想要甜牛奶。我打算做巧克力牛奶。”
“那挺好的。”男孩说。
琼斯夫人加热了她放在冰箱里的一些熟食，然后摆好了餐桌。她没有问男孩任何关于他住在哪里、他的父母或者其他任何会让他感到尴尬的问题。相反，在他们吃饭的时候，她给他讲了她在一家营业到很晚的酒店美容店的工作，工作是什么样的，以及各种各样的女人进进出出的情况。然后她把她的蛋糕切了一半给他。“多吃点，孩子。”她说。
当他们吃完饭，琼斯夫人起身说道：“现在，拿着这十美元，给自己买双蓝色的软皮鞋。还有，下次别再犯偷我包或者别人包的错误了——因为用这种方式得到的鞋子会让你‘惹上麻烦’。我现在得休息了。但是，孩子，我希望你从现在起能规矩点。”
女士领着男孩穿过走廊来到前门，然后打开了门。“晚安！规矩点，孩子！”她说，在男孩走下台阶的时候，她望着街道。
男孩想对琼斯夫人说点除了“谢谢您，夫人”之外的话。他的嘴动了动，但他甚至连这句谢谢都说不出来。他在台阶前面转过身，抬头看着门口的那个高大的女人。然后琼斯夫人关上了门。男孩再也没有见过她。
