九年级期中卷When I was 8 years old, I decided to run from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door. My mom asked where I was going. “ Im leaving.” I said.“whats that are carrying?” she asked. “Some clothes and food.” I replied.“If you want to run away, thats all right.” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.“ Wait a minute,” Mom said. “ You didnt have an clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.” This really infuriated me. I tore my clothes off -shoes, socks, underwear and all-and shouted. “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered. “but once you close that door, dont expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door force fully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce(云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles(针状物) were beneath the tree, and you cant imagine the pain those sharp needles caused by my body. After I was sure the girls had passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.“Whos there?” I heard. “Its Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “ Billy doesnt live here anymore, he ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming. I begged “Aw, Mom! Im still your son. Let me in!”The door inched open and Moms smiling face appeared. “ Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“ Whats for supper?” I answered.16.
