Temidayo Adedokun, 31, who was born in Nigeria and now is working in America, became pregnant with her first child. She couldn’t hide her joy, and couldn’t wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.
“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic(美学的) products that were designed from an authentic place,” Temidayo said.
Temidayo decided to take matters into her own hands. At first, she focused on creating clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.
The feedback she got gave her just enough confidence. She figured she’d make the baby clothes an after-work side business to her full-time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California, until one day she was told she was given a boot. Once again, she needed to make her own choice. That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.
“I had to evaluate: Am I going to search for another job I don’t have a great desire for?” she said. “Or am I going to take this as a chance? I’m not sure myself. After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens? However, for the symbols of children’s clothing in my heart, I threw myself into it. So I chose the latter.” Then, in March 2020, Temidayo officially announced her own brand: Ade +Ayo.
Since then, Temidayo has received much praise from other African parents informing her that her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world. “I feel very blessed to be able to be doing this,” she said.
24. How did Temidayo feel after trying to buy African aesthetic clothes?
A. Pleased. B. Confident.
C. Stressed. D. Disappointed.
25. What does the underlined phrase “given a boot” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Dismissed. B. Promoted.
C. Well-known. D. Accused.
26. What did Temidayo originally think of her creating her own brand?
A. It was innovative. B. It was profitable.
C. It was risky. D. It was trendy.
27. What can we learn about Ade +Ayo?
A. It’s created African aesthetics.
B. It’s spread authentic cultures.
C. It’s targeted overseas Africans.
D. It’s inspired people’s creativity.
C
You have probably heard that trying to multitask is a terrible idea. One main reason is that our neural(神经的) wiring does not allow us to split our attention: when we try to deal with two things at once, all we actually do is switch our focus back and forth between them, which decreases our performance, as many studies have shown. The consequences can be deadly: texting while driving is more dangerous than drunk-driving.
Even magicians use a “divide-and-conquer” approach to the audience’s attention, forcing us to split our focus by overwhelming(使应接不暇) our processing ability — which in turn makes us much less able to figure out the hidden methods behind the magic.
All in all, the evidence is there that you shouldn’t multitask. But new scientific data suggest that you should tell yourself you’re multitasking — even if you’re not. The lie might improve your performance.
The research tested 8,242 participants across a series of 32 studies. Scientists randomly assigned participants in each of the experiments to either a multitasking or a single-task condition. All the participants in each experiment performed exactly the same tasks. Only the descriptions of each task, or the participants’ expectations, differed between the two groups.
In every study, people who were told, or led to believe, that they were multitasking, performed better than those who thought they were conducting a single task. Pupil dilation(瞳孔扩张) was similarly larger in the multitasking than in the single-task group, supporting stronger focus and participation in the task.
The results — the authors clarify — do not mean that the well-documented harmful effects of actual multitasking are wrong. Rather, they indicate that it is the perception(观念) of one’s multitasking that can positively affect performance. For instance, one way in which I tried to increase my productivity while writing this passage was thinking of it not as a single task, but as multitasking between its many components: reading the original report, understanding its conclusions, making sense of the data figures, choosing the proper words, etc. It largely came down to re-structuring the task.
28. What prevents people from multitasking effectively?
A. Mental stress.
B. A small knowledge reserve.
C. The lack of operational ability.
D. A limitation in the brain function.
29. Why is the magician example mentioned?
A. To show how to attract attention.
B. To show the importance of concentration.
C. To show it’s difficult to concentrate for long.
D. To show trying to split our focus leads to bad performance.
30. What do smaller sizes of pupils indicate?
A. Higher levels of tiredness.
B. Higher levels of motivation.
C. Lower levels of attentiveness.
D. Lower levels of nervousness.
31. What’s the main purpose of this text?
A. To show the harm of multitasking.
B. To clarify whether multitasking is good or bad.
C. To explain how to deal with several tasks at once.
D. To introduce a way of tricking ourselves into doing better.
D
Some research shows that people drive faster and break more traffic laws while listening to fast, exciting music. Other studies suggest that listening to fast, loud classical music can reduce reading comprehension, while relaxing music often leads to better scores on intelligence tests.
A recent study examined how people invested fake coins while listening to low-tempo music, high-tempo music or no music at all. The results of the study are published in the preprint journal SSRN.
For the study, researchers asked 63 participants to listen to a suite of instrumental songs from various genres, and to rate how calming or arousing they considered each genre and song. After tallying(记录) the responses, the researchers chose the two pieces of music that participants rated most calming or arousing: a Deadmau5 mix of electronic music, and a relaxation mix from a new-age musician named Karunesh.
The participants were split into two groups — each of which listened to either the Deadmau5 mix or the Karunesh mix — and asked to complete two financial investment scenarios. The first scenario was a lottery in which participants could choose to invest in a risk-free asset with a guaranteed return or a high-risk, high-reward asset(资产). In the second scenario, participants had to choose how they’d diversify their funds between three assets, each of which offered a 50-50 chance of getting one of two rates of return.
In both scenarios, people who listened to the fast-tempo Deadmau5 mix made safer financial decisions. Interestingly, people also made safer investments when they subjectively felt that the music “disturbed” them, as opposed to “helped” them.
Why? The researchers suggested this might be explained, in part, by past findings showing that fast-tempo music can overload our working memory, which has been shown to make us less likely to take risks.
Of course, what may “disturb” one person might have entirely different effects on someone else. With that in mind, the new study doesn’t necessarily suggest you should put on Deadmau5 when rearranging your stock portfolio(股票组合).
32. What can we know about music according to Paragraph 1?
A. It contributes a lot to reducing car accidents.
B. Fast-tempo music is linked with high intelligence.
C. It has a positive influence on people’s social skills.
D. It changes the way people engage with everyday activities.
33. What’s the purpose of the study?
A. To discuss how people benefit from listening to music.
B. To investigate which type of music can ease emotions.
C. To suggest putting on Deamau5 while making financial decisions.
D. To study if background music affects people’s financial decisions.
34. How does the fast-tempo music affect people’s financial decisions?
A. It helps to relieve people’s tension.
B. It makes people less likely to take risks.
C. It misshapes people’s concept of investment.
D. It changes people’s financial management skills.
35. What can be inferred about “disturbing” music?
A. People are rarely conscious of its existence.
B. People perceive it differently and subjectively.
C. It has little to do with people’s financial decisions.
D. It should be avoided when we rearrange our stock portfolio.

Ways to avoid quarrels with your mother
Don’t give her the silent treatment
The best technique to get what you want and put mental pressure on somebody is to give them the silent treatment. If you think the silent treatment will help you achieve a desirable result, then you’re mistaken. 36
Refuse to go into hysterics(歇斯底里的表现)
There’s no doubt that hysterics is an extremely effective method, but you’re not a little child. 37 Pull yourself together and try to reach a compromise against all problems.
Avoid deeply offensive words
Words are a unique and powerful thing that has a great influence on the human mind. If you’re in a quarrel with your mother, you should be careful what you say to her. 38 Sooner or later, you’ll apologize for your bad behavior, but the words you’ve said will live in her heart forever.
Don’t draw other family members into a conflict
I had a terrible habit of drawing my brother and dad into conflicts between me and my mom. I wanted them to support me and help us find a beneficial solution. 39 As a result, small and insignificant mother-child fights grew into long-lasting family conflicts.
Increase your communication
Regular communication with your parents is a normal thing that makes them happier. 40 When you finally find the reason, you’ll be able to overcome misunderstanding in communication with your mom.
A. Buy a small gift for your mother.
B. Lack of communication may cause frequent quarrels.
C. So try your best to comfort your mother after a quarrel.
D. You shouldn’t burst into tears or scream in front of your mother.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Naoki Teraoka, a railway model enthusiast in Osaka, Japan, opened a restaurant in 2018. It’s a miniature(微型的) railway model-themed ramen eatery(拉面馆) where people could not only try delicious food but also admire the miniatures around them. However, the COVID-19 pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情) exhausted him and his family physically and mentally. He was ready to shut the business down and give up everything since there were not enough customers to maintain the business.
Luckily, an unlikely helper in the form of a stray kitten(流浪猫) appeared.
It was June 10th, 2020, when Naoki noticed a dying baby cat that was around 10 days old next to his restaurant. Naoki took the dying red cat home and brought it back to life! Naoki decided to raise the animal and named him Simba. The protection of blind baby cats has begun.
The next day, Naoki saw another cat that was peeking(窥视) out of the window. It would come every day to look into the restaurant. It was Simba’s mother. Naoki started feeding the mother leftovers due to the lack of customers. Naoki remembered that it was raining every night from the end of June to July. On one of the rainy days, the mother cat brought three of her other kittens.
This cat family and Naoki decided to “live together” and start a new life. It continues with the story of opening the next door.
Every day after the restaurant was closed, Naoki opened the cage door so that the cat family could play in the back room. One morning when Naoki came to work, there were no kittens in the cage in the back room! There was a cat straddling(跨坐) the miniature railroad track. It was as if all three kittens were playing well in the railroad park. “If they live here, I will try to be a cat uncle and live with peace of mind.” Naoki told Mr. Hiramatsu, a daily sports reporter from Fukuoka Prefecture. The cats quickly made themselves at home by lounging on all of Naoki’s miniature train models.

Para. 1: It was then that Naoki decided to change the concept of his restaurant and rebuild it. _______________

_______________________________________________

Para. 2: In 2021, as a way to thank his fluffy helpers, Naoki opened a cat shelter and a cat-only hotel on the second floor of his restaurant. ______________________

第一节
The Sports Activity I Like Best
There’re various kinds of sports activities, including ball games like basketball, football, table tennis, as well as other activities, such as swimming and horse riding. Among them, I like horse riding best.
First of all, horse riding is very challenging. There’s no doubt that people who can ride the horse can conquer the horse, which can make me not only excited, but also brave. Besides, horse riding can keep me fit. It is a good way to help me relax and reduce my pressure.
Therefore, of all the sports activities, I like horse riding best.
第二节
Para. 1: It was then that Naoki decided to change the concept of his restaurant and rebuild it. Naoki made a big decision. He replaced some of the models’ parts with stronger materials. He started posting photos of the new “crew” on Instagram. And videos like “Good boys can’t enter the railroad tracks” continued being uploaded. It led to people showing up from all over Japan to see the cats and his business is thriving. The cats will come to customers when they order food and stay with them until they finish their meal.
Para. 2: In 2021, as a way to thank his fluffy helpers, Naoki opened a cat shelter and a cat-only hotel on the second floor of his restaurant. People can also visit the cat hotel and spend up to two hours there while drinking tea and interacting with the cats. Visitors can also ask for adoption if there’s a pet they make a strong connection with. “It was a financially difficult time for us, but we decided to help the cat family. Yes, we thought we were helping them, but they were the ones who helped us,” says Naoki.
【文章大意】应用文。本文是一则儿童模拟生活公园KidZania Manila的宣传广告。
21. B。细节理解题。根据REMINDERS中的第二项可知，4岁以下的儿童被认为是幼儿。幼儿只能在幼儿指定区域，即RightZKeepers之家和幼儿园玩耍。由此可知，the RightZKeepers’ House供刚学走路的孩子专用。
22. C。细节理解题。根据What is KidZania?下的“KidZania is an interactive kid-sized city combining fun and learning through exciting role-play guided activities”可知，KidZania是一个互动的儿童规模的城市，它结合了乐趣和学习，通过令人兴奋的角色扮演引导活动。根据How does this “kid-sized play city” work?下的“KidZania Manila combines learning(education) and fun(entertainment) to help kids learn life skills...”可知，Manila将学习和娱乐结合起来，帮助孩子们学习生活技能……。再根据What do you mean by role-play?下的“From police officers to dentists to cooks, KidZania Manila offers 100 role-playing activities...kids pick an occupation...”可知，从警察到牙医到厨师，KidZania Manila提供100个角色扮演活动……孩子们选择职业……。由此可知，孩子们是通过扮演职业角色来学习生活技能的。
23. D。推理判断题。根据What do you mean by role-play?下的第二段“with which they can pay for goods and services in the KidZania city”可知，孩子们可以用kidZos在儿童模拟生活公园里进行消费。由此可推知，kidZos是一种虚拟货币。
【文章大意】记叙文。31岁的Temidayo Adedokun出生在尼日利亚，现在在美国工作。她想给自己的孩子买她小时候穿的带有非洲传统印花的婴儿服装，但是没能如愿，于是她自己动手制作带有非洲传统文化印记的儿童服装，最后创建了自己的品牌：Ade+Ayo。
24. D。推理判断题。根据第一段 “She couldn’t hide her joy, and couldn’t wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.”可知，她无法掩饰自己的喜悦，迫不及待地想购买她从小就穿着的印有传统非洲印花的婴儿服装。再根据第二段“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic products that were designed from an authentic place”可知，“我非常惊讶我没能找到价格合理的非洲美学产品，这些产品是在真实的地方设计的。”由此可推知，Temidayo对没能买到带有非洲传统印花的服装感到失望。
25. A。词义猜测题。根据画线部分上下文 “She figured she’d make the baby clothes an after-work side business to her full-time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California...That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.”可知，她是加州奥克兰市的一名全职律师，她打算将婴儿服装作为下班后的副业……就在那时，她决定将其作为一份全职工作。再根据第五段 “‘Am I going to search for another job I don’t have a great desire for?’”可知，“我会寻找另一份我没有强烈愿望的工作吗？”由此可推知，画线部分意为“解雇”。
26. C。推理判断题。根据第五段 “‘Or am I going to take this as a chance?I’m not sure myself. After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens?”可知，“还是我会以此为契机？我不是太肯定。毕竟，我对这个领域并不熟悉。如果发生了意想不到的事情怎么办？”由此可推知，Temidayo在创建自己的品牌之初，觉得这是一个冒险之举。
27. B。推理判断题。根据最后一段 “her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world.”可知，她的衣服帮助非洲父母开始与孩子谈论他们的穿着，并让他们向孩子展示他们祖先传下来的宝藏。同时，对于那些不是非洲人的人来说，她的衣服成为父母向他们的孩子展示一个新的、多彩的世界的一种方式。由此可推知，Temidayo的品牌服装Ade+Ayo传播了(非洲)原生态文化。
【文章大意】说明文。以往，试图多任务处理被认为是个糟糕的主意。但新的科研数据表明，你应该告诉自己你正在进行多任务处理——即使你并没有。这个谎言可能会提高你的表现（发挥）。
28. D。细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，你可能听说过，试图多任务处理是个糟糕的主意。其中的一个主要原因是我们的神经线路不允许我们分散我们的注意：当我们试图同时处理两件事时，我们实际上只不过是在这两件事之间来回转换我们注意力的中心点，这会降低我们的表现。很多研究都已证实这一点。由此可知，大脑功能的限制（神经线路）让人们无法有效地进行多任务处理。
29. D。推理判断题。根据第一段“...split our attention: when we try to deal with two things at once, all we actually do is switch our focus back and forth between them, which decreases our performance,”可知，试图分散我们的注意以便同时处理两件事会降低我们的表现。再根据第二段可知，甚至魔术师会利用一种“分而治之”的方法来对付观众的注意，通过让我们的处理能力应接不暇来迫使我们分散我们注意力的中心点——这样做反过来会让我们更加无法弄清魔术背后隐藏的方法。由此推知，魔术师的例子是为了表明试图分散我们的注意会导致不良的表现。
30. C。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “Pupil dilation was similarly larger in the multitasking than in the single-task group, supporting stronger focus and participation in the task.”可知，在多任务处理组中（的参与者），瞳孔扩张的程度都类似地比在单一任务组中（的参与者）更大，证明注意力和任务参与度更强。由此推知，瞳孔较小表明注意水平较低。
31. D。主旨大意题。根据全文可知，前两段为（研究）背景介绍，讲试图多任务处理被认为是个糟糕的主意，并解释了原因。根据第三段可知，总而言之，有证据表明你不应该进行多任务处理。但新的科研数据表明，你应该告诉自己你正在进行多任务处理——即使你并没有。这个谎言可能会提高你的表现（发挥）。第四、五段介绍了研究过程及发现。最后一段阐释研究结果：是人在进行多任务处理的观念能够积极影响人的表现。作者还以自身的例子说明如何运用这种方法提高效率（表现）。由此可知，写作本文的主要目的是介绍一项新的研究结果：一种通过欺骗自己来提高表现的方法。
【文章大意】说明文。音乐居然还能影响你的投资决策。
32. D。推理判断题。根据第一段可知，一些研究表明，一边开车一边听节奏快且令人兴奋的音乐，驾驶者的车速更快，违章次数更多。其他研究表明，听节奏快且喧闹的古典音乐会削弱阅读理解能力，而听舒缓音乐则往往能在智商测试中拿到更高分数。由此可推知，音乐改变人们进行日常活动的方式。
33. D。推理判断题。根据第三段可知，研究过程中，研究人员要求63名参与者听一组涵盖各种类型的纯音乐，而后对每一种类型和歌曲带给他们的舒缓或者振奋感受进行打分。在整理了参与者的反应后，研究人员选取了两段参与者认为最能舒缓或者最能振奋情绪的音乐：Deadmau5的电子乐混音以及新世纪音乐家卡努纳什创作的舒缓音乐混音。根据第四段可知，参与者被分为两组，有一组听Deadmau5的混音，一组听卡努纳什的混音，两组都同时需要在两个财务投资情景中完成投资。第一个情景是抽奖，参与者可以选择投资一个回报有保证的零风险资产，或者选择一个高风险、高回报的资产。第二个情景中，参与者必须进行多元化投资，将投资投向三种资产，每一种资产的回报率有两种，概率均为50%。再根据第五段可知，在两种情景中，听快节奏Deadmau5混音的参与者都做出了更安全的财务投资决定。有趣的是，当参与者主观认为音乐“干扰”了他们，而没有给他们带来帮助，他们也做出了更安全的投资决定。由此可推知，这项研究主要是探究音乐是否会对人们的财务决策产生影响。
34. B。推理判断题。根据第五段 “In both scenarios, people who listened to the fast-tempo Deadmau5 mix made safer financial decisions.”可知，在两种情景中，听快节奏Deadmau5混音的参与者都做出了更安全的财务投资决定。由此可推知，快节奏音乐会降低人们的冒险意愿。
35. B。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，在某人看来是“干扰”的音乐可能会对另一个人产生截然不同的影响。鉴于这一点，新研究并不是说建议你在调整股票投资组合时听Deadmau5的作品。由此可知，每个人对“干扰”的音乐的主观感受存在差异。
【文章大意】本文介绍五种让你和妈妈不再吵架的方法。
36. F。根据上文可知，得到你想要的并且对某人施加心理压力的最好方法就是跟他们冷战。不过，如果你认为沉默能帮你达到想要的结果，那你就大错特错了。空格处与处理冷战的方法有关。故选F，不管用什么方法，你都应该立即采取行动，制止这场冷战。
37. D。根据上文可知，毫无疑问，歇斯底里的表现是一种绝对有效的方法，但是你不是小孩子了。再根据下文可知，振作起来，试着排除万难达成和解。空格处承接上文，下文为避免歇斯底里的解决方法。故选D，你不应该在你妈妈面前泪流满面和尖声喊叫。
38. G。根据上文可知，语言是一种独特而强大的东西，对人类的思想有很大的影响。如果你和妈妈吵架了，你应该注意措辞。再根据下文可知，你迟早会为你的不良行为道歉，但你说的话会永远留在她心里。本段主要讨论吵架时的用语及其影响。故选G，你的话可能会是一种完美的镇痛剂，但也有可能是一种伤人的武器。本段小标题中的“words”及上文 “Words”对空格处亦有提示。

39. E。根据上文可知，“我”有一个坏习惯，就是把“我”和“我”妈妈之间的冲突扯到“我”哥哥和爸爸的身上。“我”希望他们支持“我”，帮助“我们”找到一个有益的解决方案。再根据下文可知，结果，微不足道的母子之争演变成了长期的家庭冲突。空格处及下文说明把冲突牵扯到家庭其他成员身上的后果。故选E，不幸的是，他们的积极加入只会使问题更糟糕。
40. B。根据本段小标题可知，本段主要讨论沟通的重要性。故选B，妈妈和孩子之间缺少沟通可能会导致频繁的争吵。上文 “communication”对空格处亦有提示。
【文章大意】Galia开了一家减肥酒店，在那里，人们遭受着“魔鬼般的折磨”。但当他们一个星期期满离开的时候，却总能满意而归。
41. C。根据上文可知，午餐是卷心菜，晚餐还是卷心菜。除此之外别无其他。这是Galia的减肥酒店Slimmeria Hotel里的“伙食”。故此处是Slimmeria Hotel的女主人Galia说，吃卷心菜是为变苗条所付出的代价。
42. B。根据下文第四段“Kirsty ... cries ‘I’m sick!’. ‘Be sick! ’... ‘Then eat your cabbage. ’ She stands over the poor girl. ‘Chew!! NOW! ’”可知，当Kirsty说难受恶心的时候，Galia说：“那你就难受吧。然后吃你的卷心菜！”，并命令她立刻就嚼。由此可知，Galia很瘦、很美，但她很可怕。
43. C。车牌“AMI 2 FAT”音同“Am I too fat?”，这是一个问题。Galia说这是她每天让她的客人们思考的问题。
44. A。根据上文“One guest called Kirsty”可知，Kirsty是减肥酒店的一位客人，她来减肥的原因是“bought her wedding dress two sizes smaller... the big day approaches.”她的婚纱买小了两号，而她的大日子正在临近。所以她正在“节食”进行减肥。
45. A。根据下文“Kirsty is shaking”和下文第四段“cries ‘I’m sick!’”可推知，Kirsty对Galia的“全素、无糖”的规定反应非常强烈。violent意为“强烈的，剧烈的”。
46. B。根据上文“is shaking”和下文“I’m sick!”可知，Kirsty一直在呕吐。
47. D。根据Kirsty的反应可推知，她拒绝吃更多的卷心菜。
48. D。根据下文“‘Then eat your cabbage.’ ... ‘Chew!! NOW! ’”可知，这是Galia给Kirsty的指令，她要求她这么做。
49. C。根据上文可推知，Galia说她的客人恨她，但她不在乎。
50. D。根据下文倒数第二段“leave after a week”可知，减肥训练为期一个星期。
51. A。根据下文“and won’t have their next meal until 1 pm the following day.”可知，一直到第二天下午一点才能吃下一餐。由此可知，前一天晚上六点半之后就不再吃东西了，即六点半停止进食。
52. B。根据下文“All guests are required to do a two-hour walk every day.”可知，所有的客人都被要求每天走步两个小时。即运动是每天必须要做的事。
53. D。根据下文“Well, her fans, including the actress Lisa Riley, say that it creates miracles.”可知，她的粉丝们，包括女演员Lisa Riley在内，都说这创造了奇迹。由此可推知，此处是问“这有效吗？”
54. C。“guests”是相对“hotel”而言的，入住Galia的Slimmeria Hotel的guests其实都是来找她减肥的“顾客”。
55. B。根据上文“Our record is 26 pounds in one week”可推知，Galia说：“我们的记录是一周26磅。”这个成绩让她很自豪。
56. a。

62. players。
【考查方向】考查名词的数。
【答案详解】句意为“奥运跳水比赛规定选手的最低年龄是14岁”，提示词为可数名词，且此处并非指一个选手，故填空词应使用提示词的复数形式，故本题答案为players。
63. who/that。
【考查方向】考查定语从句。
【答案详解】填空词引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词为anyone，指人，故本题答案为who/that。

M: Serious? That’s a deal!
Text 10
My name is Mary. I’m from America and I’m seven years old. There were three people in my family before, but recently twins were born by my mother. We are very happy. My mother looks after the new babies, so I have to go to school by school bus. One morning, my family clock stopped and when we got up, it was too late for me to catch the school bus. My father said he would drive me to school on his way to the office. But my father had only been to my school once. I asked my father whether he could find the way. My father said that I had been to the school by school bus seven times and that I could know the way. I thought he was right. And then we started out and I asked my father to turn one way or another on our way to school. At last I made my father drive round most of the town before we got there. When we arrived, my father found it was not really very far from my house. My father asked me why I made him go such a long way. I said, “Dad, I know only this way. The bus always goes like this so that the other children can take it to school.”
