Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park，”he’d told his wife.“I’ll look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well，but just after eight o’clock，his three little “good kids”—Mike，Randy，and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast，daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍)．Mike chanted “Where’s my toast，where’s my toast” in the background.Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks，although they were before their very eyes.Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock，things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11∶17，Brad called the daycare centre(日托所)．“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes？”The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.(2012·陕西，B)

(答案→)C 解析：【小题1】　C解析　推理判断题。根据第一段对Brad的心理描写，尤其是信息句“Expecting a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.”可以看出，妻子离家后，Brad期待着在第一个休假日里放松一下自己，故C项符合题意。A项并不是Brad想做的；B、D两项内容并不是与孩子一起进行的活动，这在后文也有体现，因此错误。【小题2】B解析　细节理解题。根据第四段的描述可以看出，A项是Mike做的；B项是Randy做的；C项是Alex做的；D项是对文中信息“Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.”的曲解。【小题3】　C解析　推理判断题。文中诸多关键字眼如“Life became worse”与“things were out of control”都表明是因为管理不了孩子们，Brad才把他们送去日托所的，故C项正确。【小题4】　D解析　细节理解题。第一段：Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home→第二段：breakfast→第三段：after breakfast→第四段：by ten o’clock→第五段：at exactly 11∶17，由此可以看出本文是按照事件发展的时间先后顺序来叙述的。
