Question

【题目】Mary’s mother waited for her in the car. Mary knew that she would be late if she didn’t hurry (赶快), but she didn’t care. It is her birthday today.

Ten minutes later, Mary opened the car door. Her mother said, “Don’t forget to go home with Cindy today.” Mary felt a little disappointed (失望的). She really hoped to have a party today, but her mother had to work late tonight. She promised Mary that they could have a party next week.

“I won’t forget,” replied Mary. When she arrived at school, she got out of the car and said goodbye to her mother. It seemed that her mother didn’t care. Mary walked into the school. She hoped her friends would remember that she turned eight today.
