“No, meatloaf (肉卷) again? I hate it!” Matt shouted. “I’m not eating this.”
His parents looked at each other worriedly, knowing Matt had been behaving like this every week all summer long. Mom advised Matt to choose and cook the meals for the family and he 1 happily. The next day, Dad helped him create a meal plan. As Matt 2 listed his favorite meals, Dad reminded him about including vegetables.
“Oh. We can have corn (玉米) with the chicken.” Matt said. “Sophia doesn’t like corn.” said Dad.
“It’s my 3 , so I’m going to make it.” Matt replied.
“OK, but she might complain at dinner tonight.” “Yeah, whatever.”
Planning the meals was more 4 than Matt expected, as he needed to consider what his family liked. When it was time to cook, his parents helped him as he was inexperienced (没经验的). After an hour’s hard work, he took pride 5 his chicken, rice, and broccoli with cheese. But Sophia pointed out that the rice tasted strange, which made Matt feel down. He refused to cook the next evening and suggested 6 out every night. Mom disagreed, “We spend $190 a week on groceries (食品杂货), about $27 per night, 7 dining out costs $75 per dinner. That means we have to 8 your soccer and Sophia’s piano lessons, and maybe even moving to a smaller house.”
Realizing the sacrifice (牺牲) involved, Matt decided to cook. Again, he was tired and hungry when dinner was finally ready. “I don’t like corn.” cried Sophia. Matt didn’t yell back; 9 , he apologized (道歉), realizing how hard it was to cook and meet everyone’s tastes. Mom smiled and said, “You really did a great job tonight, Matt.

“BANG!” the door closed heavily. My father was standing on one side and I on the other side.
We were 1 in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” my father shouted. With tears, I rushed out and ran along the street.
I walked around and around. A young father who held a child in his arms walked 2 me. I felt as if I saw my childhood—happy and peaceful.
But now... I don’t know 3 it is because I have grown up or because my dad is getting old. We have different thoughts. Whenever I do something wrong, he never accepts it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door 4 us that can never be opened.
My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were 5 people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to be with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw the light was still on.
I 6 to myself, “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?” In fact, it was 7 . Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I 8 stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words, “I can throw you away, let alone these old stamps.”

At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened it, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized the iron door that I had imagined was not there. Love is second to none.

Hey, I’ll tell you a bad-news story. My name is Mike Hankins. The first eight years of my life were 1 —until my parents told me some bad news.

Today, Mom and Dad are coming home from the hospital with my new sister. I will just tell them to return her again.
Well, here they are. Dad is carrying a pink blanket (毯子). Is the baby inside there? Before I say anything, Dad is putting the baby in my arms. And then the most 9 thing happens.

Colin watched the countdown (倒计时) on the video screen. There were only twelve minutes left, and his family wasn’t even close to repairing the broken spaceship. Even worse, while his family was stuck in the escape room (密室逃脱), he was missing his friend Fred’s birthday party in the park!
“The spaceship doesn’t even look real,” Colin 1 . His mom squeezed his shoulder. “You used to love adventures like this! Look, how 2 your brother is!” Eric, Colin’s younger brother, was rushing around the room, searching for hidden 3 .
“We chose this escape room because we thought you’d enjoy the 4 ,” Mom explained. Colin sighed. “Escaping is only 5 the fun,” Mom read from the slogan (标语) above the exit.
Suddenly, Eric waved a small white card and cried “I found something!” “Excellent detective work!” Dad shouted in his best British accent. “It seems to be part of a combination (组合). There is something useful. But we’ll need another card to solve it.”
The rest of the family jumped into action, but not Colin. He slumped into a chair, refusing to help. But as he leaned (倚靠) back, he 6 something under his hand—another card!
Dad used both cards to open a locked box, inside it was another clue—a few words: The APPLES never fall far from the TRE.
“A riddle?” Colin leaned forward to get a better look. He studied the words.
“Oh no!” Eric was pointing to the video screen. “We only have four more minutes!”
Colin 7 the sentence in his head. But what did apples have to do with a spaceship?
“It’s an acronym (缩略语)!” Colin shouted. He realized “APPLES” stood for “Auto Pilot Plane Landing Emergency System.” 8 , they still needed a password.
“The buttons are different colors,” Colin watched carefully. Eric pointed at the word “TRE”. “They didn’t even spell tree 9 .” “That’s it!” Colin shouted, “TRE must be another acronym.” “Turquoise, Red, then...” He pressed the buttons, but the 10 went blank (空白的).
“Time’s up,” Eric announced. Colin was sorry for not taking action earlier, but Mom comforted him. “Let’s try another room!” Eric suggested the Haunted Library, which Mom called the hardest escape room. Colin agreed and smiled. “Escaping is only half the fun, right?”

At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened it, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized the iron door that I had imagined was not there. Love is second to none.

Well, here they are. Dad is carrying a pink blanket (毯子). Is the baby inside there? Before I say anything, Dad is putting the baby in my arms. And then the most 9 thing happens. My baby sister catches my finger tightly, and she won’t let it go! I think she 10 that I am her big brother, and she likes me already. Maybe having a little sister won’t be so bad.

Grandma took the ice cream and began eating. Grace felt very 5 because Grandma didn’t seem to know her. Mother said Grandma needed more time as she was in a new place.
However, the same thing happened the next time.

She suddenly 8 that Grandma would never remember her. Grandma was living in a world all her own with shadowy memories (模糊的记忆) and 9 .
“Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said.

“We chose this escape room because we thought you’d enjoy the 4 ,” Mom explained. Colin sighed. “Escaping is only 5 the fun,” Mom read from the slogan (标语) above the exit.
Suddenly, Eric waved a small white card and cried “I found something!” “Excellent detective work!” Dad shouted in his best British accent. “It seems to be part of a combination (组合). There is something useful. But we’ll need another card to solve it.”
The rest of the family jumped into action, but not Colin. He slumped into a chair, refusing to help. But as he leaned (倚靠) back, he 6 something under his hand—another card!

“It’s an acronym (缩略语)!” Colin shouted. He realized “APPLES” stood for “Auto Pilot Plane Landing Emergency System.” 8 , they still needed a password.
“The buttons are different colors,” Colin watched carefully. Eric pointed at the word “TRE”. “They didn’t even spell tree 9 .” “That’s it!” Colin shouted, “TRE must be another acronym.” “Turquoise, Red, then...” He pressed the buttons, but the 10 went blank (空白的).
