　　My name is Ben. I was having an English lesson now. The boy sitting next to me was Paul and he gave me a piece of paper. He wrote something on it and I read, “There is going to be a soccer game on TV at 4:15 p.m. Let's finish the lesson earlier and go to see it.” I whispered(轻声说), “OK.” It was half past three. A few minutes later, Paul put up his hand and said to Miss Smith, our teacher that he had a bad headache. So Miss Smith said she would take him outside.

(5)What time did he turn the clock to? ________

　　Soon Miss Smith and Paul came back and Paul said, “I've had hot water and I'm much better now.” Miss Smith walked to the blackboard and then she looked up at the clock. “Oh, no! it's twenty-five past four!” She looked at her watch, “What's wrong? It's only three thirty-five on my watch.” She shouted. We were all laughing. Just then, the girl named Sue sitting behind me stood up. She pointed to the clock and said to the teacher, “That's Ben. He did it.” Miss Smith got very angry. She looked at me and Paul said, “You two stay in the classroom after school.” We were both sad.
