Question

     Johnny is a middle school student. He is nice,but sometimes he is lazy. One day,he didn't do his homework. He thought ,“I don't want to be punished (懲罰) ，so I need a good excuse (借口) . ”

thought long about excuses ,“I could say I lost my homework in an earthquake (地震) or a Hood (洪水) .But,no ,last night everything was fine." He kept thinking of excuses before class.

At last,when the teacher asked to see his homework,Johnny said, “I'm,my dog ate my homework."The teacher looked at Johnny for a long time and then said ,“But Johnny,you don't have a dog."

     Johnny's excuse didn't work. And excuses don't work often.
