”What's for supper?"

    I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been£® The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story£® But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day£® Watching from the window,1 was reminded that still water often runs deep£®

21£®Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

   A£® He was an excellent swimmer£®                B£®The water of the river is shallow£®

   C£® He was old enough to swim£®                   D£®The rocks can be of help if there's danger£®

22£®The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means

   A£® Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

   B£® Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

   C£® Anton always has a desire to help others

   D£® Anton seldom changes his mind
