第104期雙語笑話加練習題 找個工作（1）
One day shortly after I had come home from college, my father was outside doing yard work. He found a baby bird under a tree and assumed it had fallen from its nest. Wanting to return the tiny creature to its home, my dad went to get a ladder . When he got back, he found another baby bird on the ground.
Suddenly he heard a loud chirping from above. Looking up, my father saw the mother bird giving a third baby the boot from its nest. With that, Dad walked into our house, took one look at me watching television and barked, "Get a job!"
Notes:
(1) assume v.猜測
(2) chirping n.啁啾聲
(3) give sb the boot開除；趕出
(4) bark v.咆哮著說出；吼叫
Exercises:
根據短文判斷下列句子正（T）、（F）：
① Probably the son had just graduated from college when the incident took place.
② The father saw a hurt bird under a tree.
③ The father sent the first baby bird back to its home.
④ Altogether, the father had found three baby birds on the ground before he stepped into the house.
