Dear Dave,

I’m not happy. There are too many rules in my house. It isn’t fair. I have to get up at five o’clock every morning. I can’t arrive late for school. I have to be there at eight o’clock. I have to come back home after school because I have to do my homework. In the evening I can’t watch TV because I have to help my mother make dinner and wash the dishes. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. On weekends, I have to stay at home on Saturday morning. I have to clean my room and wash my clothes by eleven o’clock. On Saturday afternoon, I have to go to the children’s palace to learn the piano. Do you have lots of rules? Are they fair?                                                                   

Your friend,

Alice

Mr. Smith likes playing cards（扑克）at night and goes to bed very late. He often oversleeps（睡过头）. Mrs. Smith has to wake him up（不得不把他叫醒），so he won't be late for work.
One day，they have a big fight（打架）. They do not speak to each other. In the evening，Mr. Smith gives his wife（妻子）a piece of paper. The paper says “Call me at seven o’clock in the morning”. Then he goes to bed.
The next morning，when Mr. Smith wakes up，it's already 9：00. He is very angry. He gets up and puts on his clothes. He finds（发现）another piece of paper on the table. “It’s seven o’clock. Get up!”
