I stood there listening to my father shout at the top of his voice. “ Which one of you did this?” He asked with a sharp voice.
We all looked down at the floor containing the art of a child’s handwriting in chalk. I stood there, trembling and had hoped that no one else could see it. Would he know it was me? I secretly wondered. The look on his face failed me to bring myself to tell him. Scared, the only words that came from my mouth were,“Not me, Dad.”
The others denied(否认) it as well. But without saying a word , he disappeared for only minutes and came back with a piece of paper and a pencil. He was so determined to find the truth!
“I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I was not a stupid kid, though, and when my turn came, I deliberately wrote the words differently. So you can imagine what the result was.
He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them, “Since none of you will admit to having done it, then you all get a spanking (打屁股) .”What? Still, I stood there and said nothing.
“I did it. ” I looked around to see my sister step forward . Huh? She did it? No ,she didn’t because I did . Why was she taking the blame for something I did? Feeling guilty, yet still scared to confess(承认), I stood there , letting it happen.
We joked about it now---all of us, including my sister. Because of it, I always felt guilty. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me.
66. The three children were blamed by the father because of______________.
A. their dirtying the floor B. their bad handwriting
C. their wasting chalks D. their lying to the father
67. Why did the author not tell the truth according to the text?
A. he sensed he would be spanked
B. Because he knew someone would tell the truth.
C. Because he was frightened by his father’s serious look.
D. Because he thought no one else could notice the handwriting.

A. was cleverer than his father
B. was cleverer than his father expected
C. knew what to do to avoid being recognized
D. learned his father was determined to find the truth

A. when his father came back with a piece of paper and a pencil
B. when his father found the floor with the art of handwriting
