Zhang Hao is always busy in school. He is a math teacher. He wishes his students could learn better. So he works hard. He never did any housework before. He thought it was easy work. But last Sunday his wife's father was seriously ill in hospital. She had to take care of him there. Of course, she had to leave their 10-month daughter to him. It brought him a lot of troubles.

(B)

Museums are often full of interesting and beautiful things, but in most museums, you can only look at the things there. You can't touch them. This is not interesting for most of us. People want to touch things. They want to use them and play with them. That is how we learn about things. If we are interested in something, we learn about it easily. If we are bored, we don't learn very much. But some museums are different,

For example, at the Boston Children's Museum, young people can use computers and other modern machines. They can also make movies and play games there. In this kind of museum, children are not bored. They can learn a lot at the same time.
