Question

【题目】A bowl of instant noodles

Mr Black is a worker aged forty-six who lives with his little son, because his wife died a few years ago. He loves his son so much that he would like to give all of his to him.

One day, he had to go to another city on business. He had no time to eat breakfast with his son in order to catch the train. He was so worried about his son that he gave him a call many times all the way, asking if he had already had breakfast. The son told him not to worry and everything went well at home.

In the evening, when Mr Black went back home in a hurry, the son was asleep on the bed. He was very tired and hungry. He just wanted to eat something. To his surprise, when he entered his son’s room to see him, he found some instant noodles (泡面) under the quilt with the over turned (倾倒的) bowl. Mr Black was so angry that he shouted at the son. He slapped the son heavily with his hand, pointing at the dirty bed and the overturned bowl. The boy cried sadly and said, “I kept waiting for you to come back. To keep the noodles warm, I put the bowl under the quilt…”

Putting the son in the arms, he said gently, “Dear, I’m sorry I’m sure it’s the most delicious bowl of instant noodles in the world. Thank you.”
