(2018·山东德州中考)When I was a child, I was a tomboy(假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.
Once, my brothers and I fell in love with playing a game called “stealing horses”. Then my parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not “real” guns. Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to“ fight” them with my bow and arrows(弓和箭). But I was still in
the poor position without a gun. One day while I was hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand. “If you tell that to Mummy，” they said, “we will get a whipping(鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do you？” I did not. “Here is a piece of wire(电线)，” said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, “Say you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you.” “Yes，” I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished. So I did as my brothers told me to do.
A week after the “accident” my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take me to see a doctor.
