一、阅读理解
The Blacks and the Whites are good neighbours. They know each other well. Sometimes they have dinner together.
Mrs Black invites (邀请) the Whites to have dinner today because it is her birthday. In the afternoon, she comes home from work early. On the way home, she goes to the market. First she buys some beef because Mr Black likes it best. And she knows that Mr White likes chicken and Mrs White's favourite food is fish. So she buys chicken and fish. She also buys some vegetables and fruit. She wants to get everything ready for the dinner.
When Mr Black comes back home, Mrs Black is busy cooking. "Happy Birthday!" Mr Black says and brings her a bunch of flowers. "Oh, thanks. What beautiful flowers! Would you please put them in the living room? I'm busy now."
"OK," says Mr Black. "And I can help you put the candles on the birthday cake." "A birthday cake?" Mrs Black says. "I forgot to buy it." "Never mind. I'll buy it now. I'll be back in a few minutes," Mr Black says when he runs towards the door.
Just then, the doorbell rings. They are the Whites. In their hands there is a big birthday cake!
