Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say,“ I was wrong, and you were right about that. ”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons ( 硬 纸 盒 ) . Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high . I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks . Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons . For some reason ,I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken ,but to him it looked as though I was the culprit ( 犯 人 ) . He severely reprimanded (训斥) me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain ,but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. How old was the author when he wrote this article?
