Unit 6 课堂提升练习 阅读理解 A Can you cook This teenager can-and his mom’s very happy with him. Tom is like any other teenager. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sports. But between 5:30 and 6:30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks dinner for all the family: mom, dad. younger brother Joe and older sister Emma.
