Don’t think the messy state of my room doesn’t 7 me, it does. Every night I go to sleep, haunted (受折磨) by the thought that a(n) 8 I lost three years ago is somewhere in my room still plugged in (插着电源) and waiting to start a fire. 9 thing that worries me is my fish.

I responded, “Mum, did I tell you I got an A on my physics test yesterday?” “You don’t even take physics, Tracie, so how can you get an A?”

“Did you know that most kids today watch ten and a half hours of TV? And high school students score an average of 500 points 14 on the SATs than the kids in your generation.”
“No! Really? Well, Tracie, that’s just one more example of how the weak 15 of today affect the minds and education of the kids your age. Oh! I forgot to take the bread out of the oven !”
