6 . Nathan woke up early and hurried into the kitchen. He saw his family preparing breakfast just like every other day. Where were his birthday presents?     1     Did his family forget his special day?

The doorbell rang. Nathan opened the door, but no one was there.     2     The note said that Nathan was going on a treasure hunt (搜寻), and he would need to find the clues (线索). “Treasure!” A big smile spread over Nathan’s face. He began to work out the clues.

The first clue was in the desert. For a moment, Nathan had no idea. Then he smiled and walked toward his sister’s sandbox. There was the second clue.     3     Finally, he got to the last note. All it said was, “Happy birthday!”, there was no treasure!

Disappointed, Nathan slowly walked back to his room.     4    

“Time for breakfast, Nathan,” shouted his mother. Nathan went downstairs with his head hung low. When he looked up, he saw the living room full of balloons.
