Question

【題目】 “Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. Simon smiled and shook his head. He never listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much better.

“One of these days, if you listen, you’ll learn something,” Mrs. Jacobs said.

That evening, Simon started to feel a little bit sick. His throat really hurt. He had hot chocolate to make his throat feel better, but it didn’t work. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out. Simon’s mother looked at him. “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”

“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. His mother checked him for a fever and said he was good enough to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.

When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded. When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (聳肩). By the time the bell rang, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye or an extra nose.

Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”

“I’m sick. I can’ t talk,” Simon tried to whisper, but no one could understand. He wrote it down instead.

Simon couldn’t talk to his neighbors. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention. You know what? It wasn’t that bad. He could do his homework that night. It gave him more TV time and game time because his work was all done.

The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again the third day, he could talk fine, but he didn’t waste time. He listened and raised his hand to speak.
