怀旧 小说 :Lat123 老师 请进 (有奖)

Hi, Ms. / Mr.[Lat123],

As 2007 pasted, I want to renew your English teacher license for the year 2008 as my English teacher.

However, you have to pass the examination that is to answer the following question:

下面的段落节选自哪位作家的哪本小说?
(It is the first English novel I read and I love it so much! )

…………..
Tom emptied his pockets and looked at his worldly wealth –- bits of toys, marbles, and trash. He might be able to bribe someone else to help him for a while, but there wasn’t nearly enough to buy a whole day of freedom. Tom thought for a while … then an inspiration burst upon him!

He picked up the brush and began to spread the whitewash slowly and peacefully over the fence.  In only a few minutes, Ben Rogers came walking by, eating a big, juicy red apple. Tom’s mouth watered at the sight of such a treat, but he kept on painting and pretended not to see or hear Ben at all.

“Hey there, Tom, what’s up with you?” called Ben. It’s too bad you have to work on a day like this. I’m just on my way to the river for a swim. Too bad you can’t come along!”

Tom looked at Ben for a moment, then said, “What do you call work?”

“Why, isn’t that work?” asked Ben, pointing to the fence.

“Well maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t,” answered Tom. “All I know is that it suits me just fine.”

“Come on now, don’t tell me you actually like it!”

“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. It isn’t every day that a boy gets to whitewash a fence.”

That puts things in a new light for Ben. He stopped eating his apple and began watching Tom work. Maybe there was something to this whitewashing after all, he thought.

“Hey, Tom, let me try it for a while,” Ben asked.

“No, no!” protested Tom. “Aunt Polly entrusted this fence to me, and I can’t just let anyone take over such a big job.”

But Ben continued to beg Tom to let him have the privilege of whitewashing for just a little while. Tom kept refusing until Ben offered him the rest of his juicy red apple. That had been what Tom was waiting for.

Tom sat in the shade and munched the apple while Ben swished the brush back and forth, sweating at his work. It was a wonderful idea, and as other boys came by, Tom kept trading with them too.

By mid-afternoon, the fence was completely whitewashed, and Tom was the proud owner of all sorts of treasures. His inspiration had certainly worked. All he had to do was make his chores seem to be fun, and the other boys were eager to do them for him.

When the fence was completed, Tom went into the house. “Can I go out and play now, Aunt Polly?” he asked.

“What! Already? How much have you done?”

“It’s all finished, Aunt Polly.”

“Tom, don’t lie to me. I can’t bear it,” she warned.

“Look for yourself,” answered Tom as he led his aunt to the window.

“Well, I never!” exclaimed Aunt Polly.  “You really can work when you put your mind to it.”

She was so pleased with Tom’s work that she presented him with a large juicy apple and told him he could go out, but to be home in time for dinner. Tom smiled, and when she turned her back, he slipped a sugar-coated doughnut into his left pocket.

Within minutes, Tom was out on the street as free as a bird. As he passed the house where Jeff Thatcher lived, he saw a girl in the garden – a new girl he had never seen before, She was lovely. Her blonde hair fell in two long braids almost to her waist. Tom fell in love instantly!

He tried to attract her attention by standing on his head and showing off in all sorts of silly ways, but she ignored him. Tom vowed that before the week was up he would win her love. He skipped down the street, his head full of romantic plans and adventures.
