Dear Mom,I’m sorry that I can’t go back home ...

Dear Mom,

I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week. On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss. But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.

Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.

Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself any more. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.

Happy Mother’s Day. I love you, Mom.

It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he walked by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The shop assistant told him that roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were a lot cheaper than roses.

“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, as the rose is her favorite.”

After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the shop assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the shop assistant to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked back to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

1.The shop assistant tried to ask the young man to buy carnations instead of roses because _____.

A．there were not enough roses in the shop

2.John spent _______ in the flower shop that day.

A．$5　　　　　　　　 B．$25　　　　　　　 C．$ 45　　　　　　　　 D．$ 55

A．had spent all his money on the roses

B．wasn’t able to tell his mother he loved her himself

C．felt sorry to ask John to pay for his flowers

D．hadn’t got enough money for his sick mother

4.At last John decided to take the roses home himself because he wanted to _______.

A．tell his mother he loved her

B．ask his mother for more money

C．tell his mother the young man’s story

Ding-Dong！

“Jason, honey? Can you answer the door?”

“I am busy, mom！” Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to this point in the game. He couldn’t stop now.

Ding-Dong! Mom′s footsteps approached the front door.

“Jason, it’s your friend Todd.” Mom called from the doorway.

Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room. “ Jason！I need a partner for playing basketball. ”He sounded excited.

Jason snorted. “No way, Todd. I’m playing a game here.” Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away, “ I almost died because of you！”

Todd looked at Jason’s mother. Jason’s mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. “Why don’t you play basketball with your friend?” Jason’s mother suggested.

“Tomorrow, maybe…” There were more levels to beat tomorrow, though. Maybe he’d play tomorrow. He’d have to see what mood he was in. He thought he heard footsteps walking away, but he was too busy beating the next level to care.

An hour later, Jason’s father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn’t even hear his name being called to the table. He didn’t hear his father walk up behind him and ask him to turn the game off, either.

When the screen suddenly went black and his father’s angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally heard. “No more game for a month.” Jason’s father shouted at him “You don’t play basketball, you don’t come to dinner, and you don’t do your chores. We’ll make sure everything else gets done before you play any more.”

Jason nodded（点头）slowly. He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been playing quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down(使失望) his friends, his family, and himself by playing too much.

He’d try harder in the future.

1.What was Jason doing when his mother asked him to answer the door?

A. Having dinner

B. Turning off the game

C. Playing computer games

D. Arguing with his father.

2.What did Todd ask Jason to do?

A. Help him cook dinner

B. Beat more levels for him.

C. Repair the computer for him

D. play basketball with him.

3.Why did Jason finally stop playing the game?

A. He won the game.

B. His mother got dinner ready.

C. His father turned off the computer.

D. He decided to play basketball outside.

4.What did Jason learn in the end?

A. He thought that his father was too strict with him.

B. He found that playing computer games was quite interesting.

C. He realized it was an unhealthy habit to play games without dinner.

D. He couldn’t spend all day playing games, because he had other duties(职责).

5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Inside the game　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Games or Supper.

C. Jason’s Angry Father　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Use of the Computer.
