“My dear dad, where are we going?” Have you ever heard of this question? It’s from the song of Hunan TV station’s show: Where Are We Going, Dad?
The show is played on Fridays. In the show, five pairs of fathers and kids go to strange places and finish interesting tasks. The fathers learn to cook and look after their kids. The kids learn about being independent (独立的).
Wang Lu, 13, from Hebei, says, “I like Kimi very much, though (尽管) he finds it hard to finish the work alone. You know, he is so young.”
Zhao Jingjing, 14, from Jiangsu, says, “I like Guo Tao’s son very much. He looks strong-minded. He doesn’t cry when he meets trouble, and he can often look after himself and even other kids.”
On the journey of life, kids learn to grow up, and adults learn to be better parents. Maybe we can plan a trip with our parents. Shall we go?
【小题1】When can we watch the show on TV?

He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully. Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him.

“Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!’

“Pleas, Tom. Let me do a little,” said Ben.

“No, Ben. If you do, you’ll do it wrong. You can’t paint very well. If it was the back fence wouldn’t mind, but it isn’t.”

“I won’t do it wrong. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you my apple.” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked.
