Ⅳ.阅读理解

Mr and Mrs Davis had four children. One Saturday Mrs Davis said to her husband, "The children haven't got any lessons today, and you're free too. There's a fun-fair (游乐场) in the park. Let's go."

Her husband was not sure about this. "I want to finish some work," he said.

"Oh, forget about this and go to the fair!" his wife said.

So Mr and Mrs Davis took the children to the fun-fair. Mr Davis was tony-five years old, but he enjoyed the fun-fair more than the children. He hurried from one thing to another, and ate lots of sweets (糖).
