Passage Two
I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪癖) farmer. I had never met him before although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and talked for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I didn't have the slightest idea who she was but obviously I had to go.
It was snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for, me. "She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me that he had put her in the barn(厩). "I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.

He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could - and suddenly wanted to - change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.
"That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you'll know it. You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice bas returned to me at many important moments.
What did the girl's enemy like to do?
A.Talking with her.
B.Pointing out her weak points.
C.Reporting to the teacher.
D.Quarrelling with her.
