He told the clerk（柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didn’t know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years. “Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said. Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line. “You’re supposed to sign your name,” she said. Grandpa’s hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond（金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadn’t seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl. “I can’t read or write,” he said. “I’ve always signed with an ’X’”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there. I wasn’t sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half. “Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn’t make the pain go away. Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didn’t know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that it’s not too late. There are programs and people who are willing to help him learn to read and write. But the most important thing I’d say is that whether he could read or not, he was never just “Grandpa X” to me. 1. Which of the following statements about the writer’s grandpa is WRONG?__________. A. He didn’t know how to read or write all his life. B. He felt embarrassed when the clerk asked him to sign his name. C. He had always signed with an “X” in the country store before the new clerk came.
