四、(2026·镇江市期中)阅读理解。
I had been at Lowood School for three years. During these years, I had experienced something happy or sad. The school's rules were strict, and the living conditions were quite poor. We had to get up early in the morning, even in the cold winter. The food was simple and not very delicious.
But I also made some good friends here, like Helen Burns. Helen was a kind-hearted girl. She was always ready to help others. She had a strong belief(信念), and she could face difficulties bravely. She taught me a lot. She told me that we should love our enemies and try to understand them. I was deeply influenced by her words.
Miss Temple was another important person in my life at Lowood. She was the headmaster of the school. She was a wise and kind woman. She treated us students fairly. When I was wrongly accused of lying, she listened to me patiently and helped me prove my innocence(清白,无罪). She also encouraged me to study hard and develop my abilities.
With the help of Helen and Miss Temple, I studied hard and made great progress in my studies. I read a lot of books and learnt many new things. I began to have my own thoughts and views about the world. Although life at Lowood was hard, it was also a time of growth and self-discovery for me.
