Ding-Dong!
“Jason, can you answer the door?”
“I’m busy, Mom! ” Jason shouted back. “Couldn’t Mom see how important this was?” he thought. He already spent three hours playing a computer game. He couldn’t stop now.
“Jason, it’s your friend Todd,” his mother and Todd came in.
“Jason, let’s play soccer. David is already waiting for us in Center Square,” Todd sounded excited.
“No way, Todd. I’m playing a game here.”
“Jason, you can play it later. Let’s go.”
Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away. He began to move his fingers more quickly. “I almost died because of you!”
Todd looked at Jason’s mother. Jason’s mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason.
Jason was playing so hard that he didn’t know when they left.
An hour later, Jason’s father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn’t hear his name being called to the table. He didn’t hear his father walk up behind him and ask him to turn off the computer, either.
When the screen suddenly went black and his father’s angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally heard. “No more computer games for a month,” Jason’s father said to him seriously. “You don’t play soccer, you don’t come to dinner, and you don’t do your chores. We’ll make sure everything else gets done be fore you play again.”
Jason nodded (点头) slowly. He knew he shouldn’t argue with his father. The game was fun, but he played too much and he let down (让……失望) his friends, his family, and even himself.

It was yard sale time again, and everyone in the Jones family was getting ready.
Billy, the youngest, was clearing out his old toys. He put several old robots and games in his yard sale box. He also found some clothes that didn’t fit.
Suzy, the middle child, decided to part with some stuffed animals (毛绒玩具) from her collection. She also found some old books.
Regina, the eldest, had music CDs and some clothes to sell. She had the most clothes of the children to sell.
Dad had many things he could part with: some tools, some records he didn’t listen to, some computer parts and a few old jackets and suits.
Mom had a few things to sell. She chose some handbags, some shoes and some clothes. She also found some old dishes.
Together, the five of them set up their tables and the sale began at 7:30 a.m. People came early and the buying and selling was fierce. They hardly had time to take a rest. Many people brought young children, so Billy did well. He sold out his toys quickly. Girls liked Suzy’s stuffed animals, and a few teenagers bought most of Regina’s music CDs. Mom and Dad had the most things, so they took longer to sell them, but they also made more money.
In the end, Billy made $22, Suzy made $18 and Regina made $43. Mom and Dad made a bit more. Dad made $143 and Mom made $97. It was quite a good day.
