初中英语阅读理解与完型填空［2016 浙江宁波·B篇］

I still remember quite clearly the day when my parents got divorced （离婚）．Dad kissed me goodbye and left．

For a long time Mum and I lived a peaceful life．Then one day，Jim came over for lunch wearing a blue suit with a short brown tie and a green shirt．I couldn't believe this was going to be my new stepfather．It couldn't be true that my beautiful mother would marry someone who dressed like a clown （小丑）．I hated him．

Lunch was terrible．Mother kept trying to start a conversation，but neither Jim nor I would say much．Finally I offered to bring in the dessert just to get away from the clown．

Something unpleasant happened，but I didn't mean （故意）to do it．I guess the plate slipped．But one minute I was handing Jim his blackberry pie，and the next，dark purple berries were oozing （渗出）all over his shirt and tie．

I was mortified ．My face turned bright red．Jim looked very much surprised at first，but then he began to laugh．I started to laugh too．Maybe this guy was all right，after all．Then I had a quick look at my mother．She looked happier than I had seen her in a long time．
