【題目】 Daniel’s parents were worried about him. “He shouldn’t go through life making excuses, and he always says that he forgets something only because he is so busy all the time.” His father said. “No one will trust him to do anything. He won’t be able to keep a job. No smart girl will marry him.”

“I don’t know what we can do.” His mother said.

“I have an idea,” his father said, “If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”

The next day was Daniel’s birthday. He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday. But all day what they said was “Good morning, Daniel. Hurry or you will be late for school”. There were no presents, not even a card. He was really disappointed.

“Never mind,” he thought, “There will be a surprise for me after school.” But there wasn’t.

Sadly, he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.”

“Oh,” his father said. “So it is. I forgot.”

“So did I.” his mother said.

“How could you forget?” Daniel asked. “There must be a reason.”

“Well, yes.” his father said, “We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel. We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”

Poor Daniel! He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again, because every time he showed excuses, he thought he was so clever that everyone could believe in him. But this time, his parents taught him a good lesson.

【1】Daniel always made excuses, because he doesn’t have a good memory.

【2】Daniel’s parents were worried about him because they knew he would meet a lot of difficulties in future unless he corrected his mistakes.

【3】Daniel’s parents didn’t buy him anything for his birthday because they were really very busy.

【4】Daniel’s parents gave him a surprise after school on his birthday.

【5】From the story, we know that people don’t like anyone who always makes excuses.

【5】A
