Question

8．Because Sue was away on holiday abroad，Mathew was very happy．Expecting all day to relax，he was thinking if he should read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months．"It's a piece of cake，"he said to his wife．"I'll take care of our children，and you can pay a visit to your mother．"
    Things worked well at first，but just after 8 o'clock，his three little"nice children"-Tom，John，and Jack-came downstairs in their night clothes and cried out"Is breakfast ready，daddy．"When food had not come to the table within 30 seconds，John started using his silver spoon on Jack's head as if it were a drum．Jack began to shout loudly in time exactly to the beat（節(jié)拍）．Tom chanted"I cannot find my bread，where is it？"in the background．Mathew realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
    Life was getting worse and worse after their breakfast．Tom wore John's underwear on his head．John shut himself in the bathroom，and at that moment Jack cried out again because he was going to wet his trousers．None of the three could find clean socks，although all the socks were just before their very eyes．Someone named"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Mathew knew the talk show had already started．
    By 10 o'clock，things were much worse，and later even out of control．Jack was just wondering why the fish in the jar didn't eat his bread and butter．Tom was showing off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils．John，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．Mathew realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible．
    At exactly 12：22，Mathew phoned the daycare centre．"All of a sudden I must go into work and my wife not at home．Can I bring my children over in a few minutes？"The answer was obviously"yes"because Mathew was smiling．

59．答案是C．推理判斷題，在爸爸在家照顧孩子的過(guò)程中Life was getting worse and worse after their breakfast．早飯的時(shí)候生活變得越來(lái)越糟糕；在十點(diǎn)以前的時(shí)候 things were much worse，and later even out of control，事情變得更糟糕，甚至失控，這位爸爸完全不能管理自己的孩子們了，只能尋求日托中心來(lái)幫忙了，而不是真的要去工作，所以答案是C．
