A few weeks ago，when my mom and I were shopping，we ran into my teacher，who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And，right then and there，my mom said，“I know the perfect song and dance.I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t，”my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9：30 for a week.Oh，and just to be clear，it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer (演员).My parents run a small grocery store，and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um，”I said on our way home，“are you sure this is such a good idea?”
“Of course!” she said.“If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen，people need to step up and volunteer.”
“I know volunteering is important，” I said.“But couldn’t you help out in another way instead?”
She laughed.“Don’t be silly.We’ll have great fun!”
“OK，everyone，”my teacher said at 9：28 on Monday.“We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair.”
“Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat.
“I’m super excited to be here with you!”my mom said.“I’m going to teach you a fun little songanddance number I learned a few years back，when I did some theater in college.Here goes!”
Oh，please，oh，please，I said over and over in my head，let there be a fire drill (演习) or a power outage (停电)，or anything to stop my mom for completely embarrassing herself—and me!
But obviously，my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I live in a small but lovely neighborhood. Our house is neither large nor luxurious, but it has a fairly big garden. My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants, watering them, applying fertilizer, weeding and getting rid of bugs. He was never tired of doing all that stuff. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately, in the summer vacation before senior high school, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry. I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce (生菜) leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables. When I was making the salad, my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and admitted, “Dad would like a salad, but the garden is a disaster. I don’t want to disappoint him, so I went to the store and bought some vegetables.” My mother smiled, saying, “Honey, you know what is the right thing to do.”
Paragraph 1My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.
