It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子是否正确,对的涂(A),错的涂(B)。

The result was announced on Thursday night.
The writer wrote things on his mother’s work.
The son won the first prize at the competition.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes:
"Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?" "Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse. "Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie. "
Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example; "Please come over for a drink sometime. " "Why not get together for a party sometime?" " Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks. "
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
