“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” --a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores. Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident.(He thought the experience would make a nice book.)
After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, pletely humbled(挫败的),”  admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”
Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids. Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs, “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however----until Bob signed the contract, therefore, she decided to relax and enjoy it. 
Although Peters had consulted(咨询) with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria, his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.
As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”
Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative(暂时的) title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.
【小题1】The couple signed the contract because _______.

A.Pat plained a lot about her doing the housework all by herself
B.Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good rest
C.they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasks
D.Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book
【小题2】It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______.
A.pay a certain amount of money
B.admit publicly he was wrong about motherhood
C.say sorry to his wife
D.do all the housework for years
【小题3】What can we learn about Pat Peters?
A.She was hard-working and selfless.
B.She was pretty and kind-hearted.
C.She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.
D.She did not love Bob any longer.
【小题4】 Which of the following can best end the news story?
A.“Wait till your mother gets home!”
B.“My experience of being a mother.”
C.“I’m proud of you all, my dear!”
D.“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”

Do you know this girl?

I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away.

I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?"

She said, "Yes, Anna, I did."

I said, "Look in your jacket quickly."

Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.

"That girl stole it!" I said, and we both ran after her. We caught her quickly.

My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money." The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. We both ran after her, but we lost her.

Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your money at home. It's on the table in the sitting room. You must be more careful with money."

So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief! She probably thought we were thieves! We felt terrible.

Please telephone us if you know this girl! We are very sorry for our mistake. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her.
