My cooking has always been the target of family jokes. One evening， as I prepared dinner a bit too quickly， the kitchen filled with smoke and the smoke detector went off. Although both of my children had received fire-safety training at school， they did not respond to the alarm. Annoyed， I stormed through the house in search of them.
I found them in the bathroom， washing their hands. Over the loud buzzing of the smoke alarm， I asked them to identify the sound.
“It's the smoke detector，” they replied in unison.
“Do you know what that sound means？” I demanded.
“Sure，” my oldest replied. “Dinner's ready.”
Notes：

我的燒飯手藝向來是家庭笑話的攻擊目標。一天晚上，晚餐我準備得有點兒太快了，廚房里充滿了煙，結果煙霧探查器報起警來。盡管我的兩個孩子都在學校里接受過防火安全訓練，可是他們并沒有對報警聲作出反應。我感到很惱火，滿幢房子亂沖尋找他們。
我在洗澡間找到他們，發現他們正在洗手。我的聲音蓋過了煙霧警報的嗡嗡聲，我叫他們辨別那聲音。
“是煙霧探查器，”他們異口同聲地說。
“你們知道那聲音意味著什么嗎？”我責問道。
“當然，”我的大孩子回答道，“晚飯準備好了。”
練習參考答案：
