Open a text。 and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet （鮮紅色的；罪孽深重的）letter in the marketplace! A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle （獄吏），and attended by an irregular procession of seriouslooking men and unkindlooking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a halfholiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prisondoor to the marketplace. Measured by the prisoner39。s experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey。 for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑臺），at the western end of the marketplace. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston39。s earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.（1）What can we know about the schoolboys? A.They knew a little of the matter.B.They were full of curiosity and eagerness.C.They were happy for having a oneday holiday.D.They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.（2）What does the underlined word thronged in paragraph 3 mean? A.Gathered
