Dear ■,
I was so angry with my father yesterday. I wanted to give him a surprise. But he was so busy working that he didn't return home until I went to bed. Couldn't he have some rest on Father's Day? The noodles on the table were cold. So was my heart.
Mary
Dear ■,
I am mad with my mom. Yesterday was last Children's Day for me. I wanted to go to a party with my friends, but my mom said no. She said I must stay at home the whole day. I tried cooking my favorite dishes and making some desserts, but they didn't taste delicious at all.
Bob
Dear ■,
What a Christmas yesterday! I spent a whole week preparing the gifts for my best friend John, yet he forgot to do for me! Maybe he regarded me as a stranger.
Tom
Dear ■,
I don't think you should be so upset. Most kids always argue with their parents. But no one is closer to us than our family. Maybe your parents just want to celebrate your festival with you.
Beth
Dear ■,
Looking at your sad face, I can't help imagining how down you are. I'm terribly sorry. How busy and understanding you were! You knew I was busy, and didn't have dinner, so you cooked a bowl of noodles for me. I really felt the warmth from it. Thank you, my sweetheart!

答案：1. **答案**：C
- **解析**：Mary 想給父親驚喜但父親沒回家，Bob 想參加派對被媽媽拒絕，Tom 準備禮物朋友卻沒回應，都體現出他們的節日過得不如預期開心，C 正確。A 選項，文中只說 Bob 母親節想和朋友去派對被媽媽拒絕，不能得出家里有很多規矩；B 選項，文中提到的節日有父親節、兒童節、圣誕節，共三個，不是四個。
2. **答案**：B
- **解析**：Eric 的信中提到女兒為他做面條，結合 Mary 的信中提到給父親做面條，可推測 Mary 是 Eric 的女兒，B 正確。A 選項，Beth 是在安慰其他人，和 Tom 無父女關系；C 選項，文中未體現 Mary 和 Tom 是兄妹。
3. **答案**：C
- **解析**：劃線句“I really felt the warmth from it.”中“warmth”（溫暖）體現的是女兒的愛，所以是 Eric 從面條中感受到女兒深深的愛，C 正確。A 選項，文中說面條是女兒做的，但沒說冷；B 選項，沒提及面條還是熱的。
4. **答案**：A
- **解析**：Beth 給其他人寫信安慰，符合“Dr Know”（提供建議的人）的角色，所以選 A。
5. **答案**：B
- **解析**：Beth 說“Most kids always argue with their parents. But no one is closer to us than our family.”，意思是孩子和家人有分歧是常見的，B 正確。A 選項，文中未提及朋友間的對待方式；C 選項，與 Beth 表達的“Maybe your parents just want to celebrate your festival with you”（父母可能只是想和你一起慶祝節日）不符，不是說父母總是難以理解孩子。
