【题目】阅读理解
Dear Bob,
Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party. I am very sorry, but I cannot come.
My mother is sick in bed. The doctor has told her that she should stay in bed for several days. Last night she insisted on doing the housework herself as usual, so this morning her illness got worse.
My father will be away on a business trip until Wednesday. In the meantime I am the only person that can take care of my mother.
I hope your party will be a great success. Please give my best wishes to everyone.
Yours,
Charlie
