　　Jeff Green can not look after(照看)his things．Look, this is his room．He doesn’t put his things away(收好)every day．Look at his desk．Many things are on it．They are notebooks, CDs, video tapes, pens, pencils．He doesn’t put his pens and pencils in his pencil case．Look, some of his sports collections are on the desk and chairs．

　　It’s eight o’clock in the morning, and Jeff is in bed．It’s Sunday．He doesn’t go to school．Oh, what’s under the bed? A football．He likes playing football．He can not play volleyball well．His backpack is under the bed．Why is his backpack under the bed? We don’t know．What’s that under the sofa? It is one of his socks．Where is the other(另外的)one? Sorry, we can not see it．Jeff needs to ask his parents to find it, I think．

　　Tom was three years old．He liked to watch TV with his parents after supper, but his parents never let him stay long．Mother would say, “It’s eight o’clock now．It’s time for you to go to bed, Tom．”

　　“But why don’t you go to bed, too?” Tom always asked．

　　“We are adults(大人),”mother would say, “And adults go to bed late．”

　　One evening Tom asked his mother for an apple．

　　“But it’s too late,” his mother didn’t want to give him anything to eat at bedtime．“The apples are already asleep．”

　　“But not all of them, Mom．” Tom said, “The baby apples are perhaps asleep, but their parents are surely awake．”
