Question

【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問(wèn)題)

Los Angeles, California – on October 7, Michelle Wood climbed into her kids’ tree house. It was a good place, she thought, for a mother to go on strike（罷工）. Mrs. Wood, 36, was tired of having her three children talk back to her. She was tired of driving them everywhere without thanks and doing more than her share of the work around the house. Until things changed, Mrs. Wood was going to stay up in the tree.

Mrs. Wood’s strike got her kids’ attention, of course. But that’s not all that happened. Word of the fed- up mother spread. Before long, a camera crew from television’s Today Show pulled into the Woods’ yard. Now people all across America were going to find out about the kids who drove their mother up a tree.

As the cameras rolled, the three Wood kids stood with their father near the tree house. Katie Green, the Today Show host, had a question for them. “What do you think about your mum on strike in that tree house?” she asked.

“I am kind of embarrassed,” said Misty.

“I’m really shocked,” said Joseph. “I did not think it would go this far.”

Rachel added, “I think she’s pretty weird.”

But Mrs. Wood had made her point. If the kids wanted her back, they knew what they had to do. When the TV crew left, Misty, Rachel, and Joseph went into their house and got busy. Not long after that, Mrs. Wood climbed down from the tree and went back to being a mom.
