英文原文:

Mom:Come to think of it, you should get out your English books and catch up on your reading assignments.
Lily:But I don't have any reading assignments.
Mom:Then review for your test. You'll do even better. And maybe reading will help you get to sleep.
Lily:Aw, Mom-you're such a drag.
Mom:You say that now, Lily, but you'll thank me later. I'm your mom, and mother knows best.
