A lot of boys and girls in America wear the same clothes and many of them have long hair.

So it is often difficult to tell whether they are boys or girls.

One day an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington. When he was tired, he sat down on a bench (长凳). He saw a young person was standing on the other side of the pond (水池).

"Excuse me," the old man said to the person next to him on the bench, "Do you see the person with the red trousers and long hair? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A girl," said his neighbour. "She is my daughter."

"Oh," the old man said quickly, "I am sony, but I didn't know that you were her mother."

"I'm not," said the other person. "I'm her father."

“Here is the shopping for Mr Green,”said Dad, handing me a big plastic bag. Dad owned a milk bar, and sometimes I helped out after school with deliveries(送货). We had our regulars, but times were hard. Dad said it was the home deliveries that kept us in business-that, and the tea Dad imported(进口) from Fuzhou. Dad was well-known for his tea, and people came from miles around to buy it.

I loaded up my bicycle with Mr Green’s shopping. His order always included three packets of Dad’s tea. How Mr Green could drink that much tea each week was a mystery to me.

“See you later, Chen,”said Dad.

He always called me by my Chinese name.

Dad’s parents came from China in the 1950s. I had a yuan coin they brought with them. I cycled out into the sun, wishing I could drive-it would be so much quicker to make deliveries.

Dad always said the exercise was good for me. I knew he was right, but I’d already decided that when I left home, the first thing I would do was buy a car.

I loved anything to do with cars, and I’d decided I would be a mechanic, although I knew it wasn’t Dad had in mind for me. He’d already started saying to his friends, “When Chen goes to university...”If that happened, I would be the first person in my family to go, and it would be a great honor for my dad. But it wasn’t what I wanted. (改编于《新理念英语》九年级第1册) (76-- 79 in no more than six words)
