Question

【题目】It was coming up on Marty’s birthday. His mom had asked him what he wanted as a gift this year. He thought maybe a new bicycle, or maybe a new camera, a new basketball, or a telescope (望远镜). "Any of those gifts would be great," he said. Secretly, he hoped for the telescope. Marty loved space, stars, and learning about the planets.

Marty’s mom and dad talked about the gifts one night after Marty went to sleep. "I think we should get Marty the telescope," said dad. "He’s so interested in space and the planets, he would like that the best." "Sounds good," said mom. Dad told her he would pick out a telescope for Marty the next day after work.

Marty’s dad had the telescope in his car. He waited until Marty was asleep and brought it into the house. "Wow!" said Marty’s mom after dad put it together. "This is wonderful." "Now where are we going to hide it until Sunday?" "How about in the attic (阁楼)?" "Marty won’t find it there."

Sunday morning came and Marty ran down the stairs into the kitchen. His gift was usually near his chair at the table, but this year he didn’t see anything. "Happy Birthday!" shouted mom and dad from the next room. They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift. "I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift," said mom. Marty looked confused. "Well, you usually put my gift in the kitchen," Marty said. Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard. "This is fantastic!" shouted Marty. "I don’t take many pictures, and I probably wouldn’t use the basketball much, and my bike is okay for now. But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much." "You’re welcome," said mom and dad. All that night, Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars. Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life!
