Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her sit by her window each afternoon, sewing(针线活) or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was seen clearly. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through(通过) my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own mistakes?
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”
Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because _________.
| A．the woman’s window was dirty |
| B．the writer’s window was dirty |

The writer was surprised that _________.
| A．the woman was sitting by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading |
| B．the woman’s window was clean as soon as he washed his own window |
| C．the woman did cleaning in the afternoon, so the writer could see the woman clearly |
| D．the woman’s window was still terrible after he washed his own window |
“It dawned on me” probably means “_________”.
| A．I began to understand it |
| B．it cheered me up |
| C．I knew the woman’s window grew light |
| D．it began to get dark |
It’s clear that _________.
| A．the writer didn’t meet the woman ago |
| B．the writer often washed the window |
| C．they both worked as cleaners |
| D．they lived in a small town |
From the passage, we can learn _________.
| A．one shouldn’t criticize others very often |
| B．one should often make his windows clean |
| C．one must judge himself before he judges others |
| D．one must look at others through his dirty windows |
