Question

“Here is the shopping for Mr Green,”said Dad, handing me a big plastic bag. Dad owned a milk bar, and sometimes I helped out after school with deliveries(送货). We had our regulars, but times were hard. Dad said it was the home deliveries that kept us in business-that, and the tea Dad imported(进口) from Fuzhou. Dad was well-known for his tea, and people came from miles around to buy it.

I loaded up my bicycle with Mr Green’s shopping. His order always included three packets of Dad’s tea. How Mr Green could drink that much tea each week was a mystery to me.

“See you later, Chen,”said Dad.

He always called me by my Chinese name.

Dad’s parents came from China in the 1950s. I had a yuan coin they brought with them. I cycled out into the sun, wishing I could drive-it would be so much quicker to make deliveries.

Dad always said the exercise was good for me. I knew he was right, but I’d already decided that when I left home, the first thing I would do was buy a car.

I loved anything to do with cars, and I’d decided I would be a mechanic, although I knew it wasn’t Dad had in mind for me. He’d already started saying to his friends, “When Chen goes to university...”If that happened, I would be the first person in my family to go, and it would be a great honor for my dad. But it wasn’t what I wanted. (改编于《新理念英语》九年级第1册) (76-- 79 in no more than six words)
