A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

Mydad,George,onlyhadan eighth grade education.A quiet man,he didn't understand my world of school activities.From age 14, heworked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to payfamilyexpenses.
I didn't really understand his world either:He was a livestock trucker and I thought thatIwouldsurpass (超过)anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball,or throwing a football,preparing for myfutureas a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced mytrombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboringfarmerhired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over,but we soonlearnedto identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb's-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It wastiringwork, but I looked forward to the pay,even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.
At home,my dad said,"A job's a big step togrowingup.I'm glad you will be contributing to the household."My dad's words made merealizethat my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks,and the farmer said there might be more work,but I wasn't interested. I decided it was notfairthat I had to contribute my money.
