Question

Little Tom likes cartoons very much. When the cartoons begin on TV, he does nothing until they're over. Sometimes he'd rather（寧愿）wait for a long time and go to bed late. In the morning his mother has to wake him up, or he'll be late for school.

Yesterday, Tom heard there would be an interesting cartoon today. This morning, as soon as he got up, he turned on the television, but didn't see the programme. He had to have breakfast and then went to school.

After school, he ran home when his mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen. He hurried to the sitting room and turned on the television again, but he couldn't find the cartoon. He rushed into the kitchen and asked his mother to help.

“It's only five now,”said the woman.“Your programme will be after dinner.”

“Well, let's have dinner right now!”
