Question: Three Boys and a Dad

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months."This will be like a walk in the park,"he'd told his wife."I'll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom."

Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little "good kids"--Mike,Randy,and Alex--came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted "breakfast,daddy."When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat .Mike chanted "Where's my toast,where's my toast" in the background.Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named "Not Me" had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o'clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,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.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre ."I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?"The answer was obviously "yes" because Brad was smiling.(2012*,B) 1. Who closed the door?

Question: Jack and his uncle went out walking in the woods near the river. They saw many things when they were in the woods. They saw a chipmunk, a butterfly, a squirrel and some birds. Jack heard a wolf howl. All of the sudden Jack heard a train whistle. It scared all of the animals away and that made Jack sad.

After a bit, Jack heard his Auntie calling for them. Jack hoped that it was time for lunch because he was getting very hungry. He hope that there would be cookies to eat, he didn't want for there to be any vegetables. When they got to the house, his auntie was waiting there with a cake for them.

Question: (CNN) -- World number two Phil Mickelson has indefinitely suspended his PGA Tour schedule after his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said on the official PGA Web site: "We are saddened by the news of Amy Mickelson's diagnosis, but are hopeful that with the support of Phil and her family and friends, she will come through this difficult tim.

"The thoughts and prayers of everyone connected with the PGA Tour are with the Mickelson family."
