clean and tidy!
Sister: Yes, well, it’s dean, but it’s not “mother
clean”!
3a. Read the story and answer the
questions.
Why was Nancy s mom angry with her?
Did they solve the problem? How?
Last month, our dog welcomed me when I
came home from school. He wanted a walk,
but I was too tired. I threw down my bag and
went to the living room. The minute I sat
down in front of the TV, my mom came over.
“Could you please take the dog for a walk?”
she asked.
“Could I watch one show first?” I asked.
“No!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all
the time and never help out around the house!
I can’t work all day and do housework all
evening.”
“Well, I work all day at
school, too! I’m just as
tired as you are!” I shouted
back.
My mom did not say anything and walked
away. For one week, she did not do any
housework and neither did I. Finally, I could
not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
The next day, my mom came home from
work to find the house clean and tidy.
“What happened?” she asked in surprise.
“I’m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand
that we need to share the housework to have
a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.
3b. Read the sentences below. Underline
the sentences from the reading that
mean the same thing.
1. Neither of us did any housework for a week.
2. My mom came over as soon as I sat down in
front of the TV.
3. You're tired, but I’m tired, too.
3c. Decide whether the underlined words in
the sentences are verbs or nouns. Then

word in the other form.

Language points
1. Tony, could you please help out with a few
things? 托尼，你能帮忙做几件事吗？
help out (with something) 是一个动词短语，
表示在某人繁忙或是遇到困难时“给予帮助”。
再如本单元中这句话：
You watch TV all the time and never help
out around the house!
你老是看电视，从不帮忙干家务。
另外help 与out 之间还可以加具体的人，
如：Can you help me out?
你能帮我一把吗？
They helped (us) out with the clean-up.
他们帮助我们做大扫除。
2. …because Mom will be back from shopping
any minute now. …
因为妈妈随时都会买完东西回来。
any minute now 是一种常见口语表达，相当
于“随时；马上；在任何时候”的意思，
minute 还可替换为“second, moment, time等。
e.g. we are expecting them any moment now.
我们期待他们随时到来。
3. “What happened?” she asked in surprise.
他惊讶的问道：“发生什么事情了？”
介词短语 in surprise 表示状态，意思是“吃惊
地， 惊讶地”。 再如:
she looked at me in great surprise and asked
for a long while, “Don’t you just leave for
Australia this morning?”
他极其惊讶的看着我，好久才问道: “ 你不是
尽早才离开去澳大利亚了吗？”
