Question

【題目】

Hey, I'll tell you a bad-news story. My name is Arthur Hankins. The first eight years of my life were perfect-until my parents told me some terrible news.

Let me tell you about a typical perfect day. Every morning my mom wakes me up. When I go downstairs, the unmistakable smell reaches my nose, making my mouth water. Dad makes these really delicious animal-shaped pancakes. During the drive to school, we sing along loudly to my favorite music. After school, Dad and I play football around until it's time for dinner. Then we eat and tell each other stories about our day.

Well, it's about time I tell you about the bad news. It's awful. My life will never be the same. A few months ago, my parents told me that soon I'm going to have a little sister. Ugh!

Now can you see why I'm so upset? This is going to ruin everything! For eight years, I have been the focus of my family. My friend Jeff got a baby sister last year. His dad and mom never have time to play with him anymore. They are always busy feeding the baby.

The most terrible thing is that my bedroom won't be mine anymore. My baby sister will share it with me.

I told Mom that I don't want a baby sister. But it didn't work. My parents believed that____________________. Today Mom and Dad are coming home from the hospital with my new sister. I will just tell them to return her again.

Well, here they are. Dad is carrying a pink blanket. Is the baby inside there? Before I say anything, Dad is putting the baby in my arms. And then the most amazing thing happens. My baby sister grabs my finger, and she won't let it go! I think she realizes that I am her big brother, and she likes me already. Maybe having a little sister won't be so bad.

【1】根據The first eight years of my life were perfect-until my parents told me some terrible news.可知，亞瑟在他的父母告訴他那個消息之前，對他的生活非常高興，因此用肯定回答，故此處為Yes, he was。

【2】根據Dad makes these really delicious animal-shaped pancakes.可知，每天早上亞瑟的爸爸為他做飯，故此處為His dad。

【3】根據A few months ago, my parents told me that soon I'm going to have a little sister.可知，說給亞瑟的消息是他將會有一個小妹妹，故此處為He would have a little sister。

【4】根據His dad and mom never have time to play with him anymore.和The most terrible thing is that my bedroom won't be mine anymore. My baby sister will share it with me.可知，亞瑟不想要分享的是他的父母和他的臥室，故此處為His parents and his bedroom。

【5】根據I told Mom that I don't want a baby sister. But it didn't work.可知，他的父母認為他會想要一個小妹妹，故此處為He would like to have a baby sister。

【6】根據Maybe having a little sister won't be so bad.可知，亞瑟認為有一個小妹妹也不錯，因此他對他的小妹妹改變了態(tài)度，故此處為Yes, he did. He didn’t think that having a little sister would be so bad。
