 　　Flat Tire爆胎

　　Maria and Mike were driving home from the pet shop. They had just purchased their very first pet. It was a white and orange cat they named Tiger. Tiger was barely a kitten. Maria played with Tiger with her finger. She was happy Mike had agreed to get a cat. Maria had wanted to own a cat for as long as she could remember.

　　玛丽亚和迈克从宠物店开车回家，他们刚买了他们的第一只宠物。它是一只白色和橙色的猫，他们叫它老虎。老虎只是一只小猫，玛丽亚抱着它与它玩耍，她很高兴迈克同意让她养猫，并且无时无刻都在想她的的猫。

　　She constantly was reminded of this wish in the city of Pasadena. There were always cats lying about on Wilson Avenue. Tiger was a playful kitten. Mike could tell just by looking at Maria's interaction with it. "Thank you so much Mike," Maria said. Mike told her not to thank him. He had wanted a pet too after all. "Why not a dog instead?" he asked Maria. Maria explained to him how cats were the better pet. She said cats were cleaner, nicer, quieter, and cuter.

　　她时常想起帕萨迪纳市的愿望。这里总是有许多躺在威尔逊大道上的猫，老虎是一只顽皮的小猫。在她与猫玩耍时她只想告诉他，“谢谢你，迈克，”玛丽亚说。迈克告诉她不要感谢他，他还想要一只宠物。“为什么不养只狗呢？”他问玛丽亚。玛丽亚向他解释到猫更好养。她说，猫更清洁、更好、更安静和更可爱。

　　Mike did not agree that cats were the better pet. But he chose not to argue with Maria. He did not want to ruin her happy mood. Mike asked her if they should go buy some cat food. Maria said they should. Mike turned around and drove towards the direction of the super market. After five minutes of driving the car made a loud popping sound. Mike and Maria were surprised when they realized that one of their tires had popped. Mike parked his car on the side of the road, and got out to see the damage.

　　迈克不同意猫是更好的宠物，但他没有跟玛丽亚争论，他不想破坏她快乐的心情。迈克问她是否应该去买一些猫食，玛丽亚答应了。迈克转身开车朝超市方向开去。车开了五分钟后，发出了一个响亮的爆裂声。迈克和玛丽亚感到惊讶时，他们意识到，车子的一个轮胎爆了。迈克把车停在路边，下车查看爆开的车胎。
