Last night, while I was watching TV, a reporter said a little girl called Yueyue died from an accident.

(1)Daniel(丹尼尔)  was always making excuses for forgetting to do things. His usual excuse was: “I was too busy.” or “I didn’t have time.”

Daniel’s parents were worried about him. “He shouldn’t make so many excuses.” his father said. “No one will believe him.”

(2) “I don’t know what we can do.” his mother said.

“I have an idea” his father said. “If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”

The next day was Daniel’s birthday. He wanted to get exciting presents from his parents. But all day they only said “Good morning, Daniel. Hurry, or you will be late for school.” There were no presents, not even a card. He was really sorry.

“Never mind.” he thought. “There is a surprising present for me after school.” But there wasn’t. Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, (3) ________(今天是我的生日).”

“Oh,” his father said. “So it is. I forgot.”

“So did I.” his mother said.

“How could you forget?” “We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel. We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”

Poor Daniel! He never had an excuse for not doing something again.
