Ⅱ. 阅读理解,选择最佳选项。
One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, to help with dinner, his question shocked me. “What is a colander (滤器)?” he asked.
In the family, nobody else went into the kitchen to cook for the family except me! That night, as I told him that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I realized that I should do something for Ray's future life. I thought to myself, “As a mother, while I care about my son's grades and characters, I always forget that I should also raise (抚养) someone's future roommate, boyfriend, husband or father. My son needs to prepare more abilities and skills for his future life.” He should try to solve all kinds of problems by himself instead of always asking his mother, “What's for dinner? ”
So I came up with a plan: Start a housework course for Ray! I was glad to find that he didn't say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, he washed and seasoned (给…… 调味) a chicken for cooking in a hot oven. Then he took 30 minutes to prepare his mashed potatoes, apple pie and carrot pieces. When the chicken was ready, he cut it into pieces and rolled them up. He did all of these while listening to my teaching steps. I knew that all these were boring for him. He tried to stop the terrible lessons, but I refused him. At last, our housework course lasted for one year.
“I appreciate (感激) what you do as a mum,” he told me one day.
Now, Ray understands the importance of doing housework, and more importantly, he realizes people learn independence and self-reliance because they have to do it. Not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for the family. That's what I call a man.
