Question

It was the first snow of winter — an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through brst snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one. 

I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled won my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-mc-down from my brother, and if made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes, At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）. 

In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）. 

I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too. 

I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”

She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. 

 “They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them”. 

Somehow,  from long years of practice,  she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying（烦人的） little girl,  She struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）？”

I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.

【解析】文章大意

我是一名幼儿园的小朋友，尽管我会穿衣服，但在这个下雪的冬日早晨，我故意刁难我们的老师Miss Finlayson。我先自己设法穿上了棉裤和和我哥哥原来穿过的上衣，然后拿起我的靴子，故意刁难老师，我伸出双脚，等着老师给我穿，但等她给我穿上以后，我大声抗议道：你穿脚了。老师用力地替我换鞋子。我说：你知道，这是我哥哥的靴子，我讨厌它们。等老师给我穿上后，她又问我：你的手套呢？我幸灾乐祸地说：我害怕丢了它们，所以将它们藏在了我的靴子里。
