17．Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city．The next building only was a few feet away from mine．They was a woman lived there，and I had never met her，yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon，sewing or reading．

分析 多年前，作者喜欢通过窗户看隔壁楼里的一位妇女看书．有一天他注意到那位妇女家的窗户脏了，觉得很讨厌．决定擦自己的，擦完之后，坐下来一看，才知道是自己窗户脏的缘故．这件事情给作者的触动很大，在以后的生活中，每次他想批判别人的时候，都扪心自问："我是正在通过自己的脏窗户看别人们？"
解答 28．B．细节理解题．根据第四段"Her window is clean"可知是我的窗户脏了．故选B．
29．D．细节理解题．根据第四段"What a surprise!Across the way，the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible．"在对面，坐在窗边的女人清晰可见．可知窗户很干净，故选D．
30．A．词义理解题．由后面I had been criticizing （批评） her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window，可知是我明白了过来，原来是自己的窗户脏，Cheer up意为"欢呼"，grow light意为"变明亮"，get dark意为"黑暗"均不符合题意．故选A．
31．C．推理判断题．本文讲述了作者注意到有位妇女家的窗户脏了，觉得很讨厌．决定擦自己的，擦完之后，坐下来一看，才知道是自己窗户脏的缘故．我们可以学习到"批评别人的时候先看看自己"．故选C．
