One weekend her daughter came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her classmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed and she began to worry because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited until nine and couldn't fall asleep. Then she decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment, she heard the noise of a car and hurried to the window---there was her daughter, waving good-bye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the daughter came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending(假装) nothing happened. "Mum, I'm back." "Yeah," "Sorry to be late."

The daughter said nothing about the film and the boy. The mother really would like to know something about them, "Who is that boy?" Daughter was stunned(发愣) for a moment, "Ah, it's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I'm going to bed. "The daughter answered in careful words. "All right. Go to sleep early."

The next morning when the mother went to her daughter's room to do some tidying, she found her diary left on her bed. After a few minutes' hesitation(犹豫), she opened it to the right page. It reads, "Mum, it's love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn't."
