Today is Saturday. It's Mum's birthday. "Shall we go out today?" she asks. "I need to wash the car," answers Dad. The children shake their heads. They all have other plans. Mum is sad. "They all forget my birthday," she thinks. She decides to go to the cinema.
As the door closes, Dad smiles. "Good!" he says. "We have lots to do before the party. Where are Mum's presents?" Jane points behind the sofa. Mark takes out a shopping list. "I'll do some shopping now," he says and goes out. "I'll clean the rooms," says Ken.
An hour later, Ken can smell something good. "Have you finished Mum's cake?" he asks Dad. "Yes," says Dad. Mark is back with the shopping. "What's that noise?" he shouts. "It's Jane," says Ken. "She's choosing some music for the party."
Three hours later, everything is ready. "Where's Mum?" asks Ken. Dad points at his mobile phone and says, "Look! There's a message!"
"Hi, it's Mum. I'm going to have a big meal with Aunt Lucy! I'll be back late tonight! See you!"
"Gosh!" says Dad. "This really is a surprise party!"

【分析】
拿到这篇叙事类阅读理解，我们可以分三步思考解题：
1. 针对任务一的图片排序：先通读全文，把故事的先后发展脉络完整梳理出来，标记出每个关键事件的发生顺序，再对应每幅图的内容，就能匹配出正确顺序。
2. 针对任务二的选择题：把每个选项带回原文定位对应的语句，逐一核对选项描述和原文内容是否一致，排除错误选项得到答案。
3. 针对任务三的问答题：找到故事的核心设定——家人要给妈妈办生日惊喜派对，结合前文大家故意说自己忙的情节，就能推导出原因。
【解析】
任务一 图片排序
我们先梳理故事完整的事件先后顺序：
① 开篇妈妈询问家人要不要外出，所有人都谎称自己有其他安排，妈妈误以为大家忘记自己的生日，十分伤心，决定独自去电影院
② 妈妈刚出门，爸爸就和孩子们露出笑容，正式开始筹备生日惊喜派对，首先取出藏在沙发后的给妈妈的礼物
③ 之后大家分工行动：Mark出门采购派对所需物品，Ken打扫房间，爸爸制作生日蛋糕，Jane挑选派对要用的音乐
④ 三个小时后所有派对相关的布置、食物全部准备完毕，大家聚在一起等待妈妈回家
⑤ 这时大家看到妈妈发来的消息，说自己要和Lucy阿姨吃大餐，今晚很晚才会回来，所有人都十分意外
将5幅图的内容和上述事件顺序一一对应，最终得到排序结果。
任务二 选择正确答案
1. 逐一核对选项：
A选项：原文开头提到Today is Saturday，周六属于周末，描述正确
B选项：原文提到Jane points behind the sofa，说明妈妈的礼物放在沙发后面，描述正确
C选项：妈妈伤心是因为她误以为所有家人都忘记了自己的生日，并不是因为没人陪她去电影院，描述错误。因此本题选C。
2. 结合故事结尾：家人花了很久准备好给妈妈的生日惊喜派对，结果妈妈发消息说要很晚才回家，根本赶不上这场派对，所以爸爸才会感叹“这可真是个惊喜派对”，对应选项C。
任务三 回答问题
从故事内容可知，家人们偷偷筹备妈妈的生日惊喜派对，为了不提前露馅，才故意告诉妈妈他们都很忙，直接提炼核心原因即可。
【答案】
任务一:2 4 1 5 3
任务二:1. C 2. C
任务三:Because they want to give Mum a surprise.
