Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?

When I was a kid, I never had any problems watching some cartoons. It was so much fun and a great education(教育) too. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry were my idols(偶像). Even now I really feel that they are worth watching at any age.
The problem I’ve found is the cartoons at present. Some of them contain something ugly. Most of the time, they show such many terrible characters with violence(暴力)that you wonder what they really mean. Cartoons are supposed to be funny but they aren’t. If you are expecting to teach your kids good manners and behavior, then they are the worst for your kids to watch.
Kids often imitate what they seee in cartoons. If your kid is a fan of such cartoons, he or she will follow his or her favorite cartoon character and try to do something extremely dangerous.
Therefore, try not to let your kids watch too many today’s cartoons. Make sure to keep an eye on what they are watching. When the writer was a kid, he thought that the cartoons then were ________.
| A．ugly and terrible | B．funny but terrible |
| C．ugly and dangerous | D．funny and educational |
The writer doesn’t like the cartoons at present because ________.
| A．he is no longer a kid |
| B．they are bad for kids’ education |
| C．they are long and boring |
| D．they have ugly characters in them |
What’s the main idea of the passage?
| A．Everyone should only watch the past cartoon. |
| B．A large number of kids are crazy about cartoons now. |
| C．All the cartoons are bad for kids to grow healthily today. |
| D．Parents should stop their kids watching too many today’s cartoons. |
