Ⅵ. 阅读理解
“Time to wake up!” I pull the pillow over my head. It isn’t time to wake up already, is it
“Come on! Get out of bed,” says Dad. “I need your sheet（床单）. ” Oh, right. It’s Saturday—the laundry day(洗衣日). Dad has a new idea. He doesn’t use the dryer anymore, at least in summer. Instead, I have to hang all the laundry on a clothes line in the backyard. It seems like a lot of work. And it means I can’t sleep on Saturday.
Dad gets the washing started early. That way all the clothes can dry by the end of the day. “Up,” says Dad as he starts pulling the sheets off the bed. I drop off the bed onto the floor. “Hang it up!” Dad drops a wet sheet on me. It’s so cold! What a way to wake up!
After I hang up the sheet, I come inside and find Dad in the kitchen. He’s made pancakes. Dad sits down across from me. “Why so sad ” “Stupid laundry,” I said. “It takes forever!” “Well, you know we have to do the laundry, right ” “Yup.” “And you realize that I have to do the laundry, wash it, take it off the line, put it away ” I am starting to feel guilty. “And you have to help out around here, too.” “I know, Dad. I also know that by using the dryer, we use more energy. And that means we spend more money. And that means we pollute less.” Dad is glad that I remember that.
I’m quiet for a minute. I think I have to stop complaining(抱怨) about hanging the laundry.
