31. Get a Job
One day shortly after I had come home from college, my father was outside doing yard work. He found a baby bird under a tree and assumed it had fallen from its nest. Wanting to return the tiny creature to its home, my dad went to get a ladder . When he got back, he found another baby bird on the ground.
Suddenly he heard a loud chirping from above. Looking up, my father saw the mother bird giving a third baby the boot from its nest. With that, Dad walked into our house, took one look at me watching television and barked, "Get a job!"
Notes:
(1) assume v.猜測
(2) chirping n.啁啾聲
(3) give sb the boot開除；趕出
(4) bark v.咆哮著說出；吼叫
Exercises:
根據短文判斷下列句子正（T）、（F）：
① Probably the son had just graduated from college when the incident took place.
② The father saw a hurt bird under a tree.
③ The father sent the first baby bird back to its home.
④ Altogether, the father had found three baby birds on the ground before he stepped into the house.
⑤ The father, having seen the mother bird kicking the young birds, thought that his son was old enough to feed himself.
31.找個工作
一天，我剛剛從學院回到家里，我父親正在院子里面做活。他發現樹下有一個雛鳥，猜想可能是從窩里掉下來的。父親便去搬梯子，他想把這個小東西送回它的家。梯子搬來了，可父親發現地上又多了一個雛鳥。
突然他聽到樹上有大聲的唧唧聲。父親抬起頭，看見母鳥正在把第三只雛鳥往巢外踢。
看到這些，父親走進屋，看了一眼在看電視的我，大聲叫道：“找個工作去！”
