I grew up knowing that I was different, and I hated it. When I started school my classmates made it clear to me how I must look to others: a little girl with an ugly lip. And I was deaf in one ear. I was sure that no one outside my family could love me. Then I entered Mrs. Green's second-grade class.
Mrs. Green was round and pretty. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. And for a special reason.
The time came for the annual(一年一度的) hearing test given at our school. The "whisper test" required each child to go to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, while the teacher whispered something from the desk, which the child repeated. Then the same for the other ear. The teacher usually whispered things like "The sky is blue. " or "Do you have new shoes?".
My time came. I turned my bad ear toward her, blocking the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth, seven words that changed my life forever.
She said softly, "I wish you were my little girl. "

【答案解析】[解析] 事实细节题。本题主要考查听力测试的目的。从第三段第二句话可知，whisper test：是要求孩子们走到教师门口，侧转身，用手指堵住一只耳朵，然后复述老师说过的话。由此可知，whisper test的目的就是测试学生的听力。 [避错] B)“面对老师站立”和C)“用手指把两只耳朵都堵住”，与原文内容不符；D)“认真听老师讲课”不是听力测试的目的。
