5．What a Day!
Yesterday was a bad day for me．Grandma and Grandpa were still on their vacation in India．Father was on business and a phone from mother's school called her out．（61）E．
In the afternoon，after mother left，they jumped out of their beds and had a serious fight．Dick preferred a basketball match on TV while Sam liked cartoons．（62）A．When it was supper time，Dick wanted to go to the MacDonald's but Sam preferred KFC．Finally we had Pizza．
After supper，it was about 8：00p．m．Mother wasn't home yet．She phoned and told me to have my brothers in bed by 9．（63）B．I turned on the porch （走廊） light，opened the door and stepped onto the porch．When I did so，the two boys slammed（砰地关上）the door and locked it behind me．Since it was the middle of winter，I was frozen．They rolled on the floor and laughed for about 15minutes．
（64 ）C．Dick came，put his arms around me and said he was sorry．I accepted it．But when I tried to get up，I found myself cuffed（铐）to the chair with toy handcuffs!They threw the key somewhere in the room．
When mother got home，it took her 20minutes to find the key and get me out．What a bad day!
