When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner.

To my surprise, my dad just took his , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.

After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”

, I went to kiss Dad good night. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see — a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”

What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy .

So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.

試題分析：本文講述了一天晚上，媽媽將烤焦的面包端給爸爸，而爸爸卻滿不在乎的將它們全部吃掉，表現了爸爸很體諒媽媽的辛苦，通過這件事作者深受感觸，認為人與人之間應該相互理解。

1.考查名詞及語境的理解。根據前文 my mum put some bread in front of my dad可知，爸爸拿起的應該是面包bread。 故選D。

3.考查動詞短語及語境的理解。根據下文every single bit可知爸爸把每一塊都吃了。故用ate it up。所以選B。

4.考查動詞及語境的理解。根據下文 It doesn’t matter at all和I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt.以及語境可推知，爸爸是說他喜歡烤糊的面包，是用來安慰媽媽的。故選B。
