五、阅读理解。
When I was a little boy, my parents managed every minute of my life. They loved me very much, but I felt a bit unhappy with them sometimes. “Sam, do your homework!” “Now practise the piano!” “Turn off the TV!” I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone for several days.
Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Great! I could have fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until midnight.
The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.
When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! It fell into pieces. I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me solve many difficult problems, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realized that being home alone was not always perfect. Over the next few days, I slowly learnt some things.
When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up the house. I told them my home-alone story and we all laughed.
