　　(2017·山东济南高三模拟)

　　They were just grasshoppers (蚂蚱). But there were millions of them, which was why dad was so anxious to get rid of them.

　　“They're totally destroying our beans，” he told Mom over lunchtime one Saturday. “I've been trying to keep them out of the tomatoes, but I don't know if I can make it.”

　　“Isn't there something you can do about them？”Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think there's a spray(喷雾) or something，”Dad said. “I'm going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions.”

　　I'm pretty sure that's what he said. But what I heard was，“While I'm gone, why don't you and George come up with your own plan for getting rid of the grasshoppers？”

　　And_so_that's_what_we_did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I won't describe our experiments. Let's just call it “The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter quickly turned to silence when we saw the look on my dad's face.
