Little Tom likes cartoons very much. When the cartoons begin on TV, he does nothing until they’re over. Sometimes he’d rather(宁可)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 he didn’t see the program on it. He had to have breakfast and then go to school. After school he ran home while his mother was cooking supper 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 for help.

“It’s only five now, ”said the woman, “Your program will be after supper. ”

“Well, let’s have supper right now!”
