My five-year-old son was not picking up his toys while I was preparing dinner as I had asked him. When I inquired why he wasn't doing his chores, he said that he didn't feel like it. Exasperated, I said, "Where would you be right now if I didn't feel like making dinner?"
He thought for a moment and then replied, " A restaurant?"

69.出色的回答
我在准备晚饭的时候，我叫年仅五岁的儿子把玩具都收拾起来。当我问他为什么没做他的差事时，他说他不想做。我感到有些恼火，就对他说：“要是我说我不想做晚饭，这时你会在哪里呢？”
他略加思索便回答说：“在饭店里？”
练习参考答案：
① Five years old.
② She was preparing dinner.
③ Because he didn't feel like it.
④ She was exasperated.
