A
There’s no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible And should you skip any of them altogether We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here’s what you need to know.
Emily Mariko’s Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo — and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online — this passes Rissetto’s test because it’s healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that’s healthy This is too good to be true, right The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn’t taste good.
“I’m certain this tastes like cardboard, ”she said. “If you don’t care about taste — then this is for you.”
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make “lettuce water” for better sleep probably won’t cure your sleep disorder — and it probably doesn’t taste great, either.
“This is not a thing. There’s no evidence to prove it,” Rissetto said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep.”
Nature’s Cereal
As Rissetto points out it’s basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
“I am all for having berries and coconut water,” she said. “Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It’s basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout.”
1. What is special about Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl
A. It doesn’t taste great. B. It is good for health.
C. Its recipe is not fixed. D. It uses two kinds of rice.
2. Which recipe doesn’t Rissetto recommend

After Chika, my adopted daughter, received her treatment in the US, I took her back to Haiti to see the orphanage (孤儿院) numerous times. On one of these times, I got to know that Chika’s father was still alive and sound, in a place known as Tabarre. As a matter of fact, I had been told that he might also be dead.
I drove to his house. Stepping out in front me was her father, a short, strong man with a broad mustache. I said to him that I came because of Chika’s medical condition — the brain tumor (肿瘤). I explained that her life could be in the balance. I then inquired if it was significant for Chika to be buried in Haiti. He responded by saying, “It doesn’t mean. Whatever you think.”
I eventually came to my utmost mission. I requested him to see his daughter — and her to see him — perhaps because, deep down, I doubted about another chance. Yet as we drove back, there was part of me feeling as if I had been nudged (轻推) to the side of the picture. Although I have done much for Chika, this man has a certain claim that I never have.
Yours, not yours! The paperwork at the orphanage was signed by me. It obligates me to feed, educate, and protect Chika. But in the end, it is a document, not parenthood. Yours, not yours! I wrestled with this question many times. Chika, remember what you once asked How did you find me I promised myself you would never feel lost again.
After two hours, the father walked over, shook my hand, and left. That night, Chika rested her head upon my shoulder and after a few seconds mumbled, “Dad What will you do while I sleep ”
“I’ll read,” I said. “And think about how much I love you.”
She nodded, her eyes glowed. “That’s what I’ll do too.”
At that moment, I didn’t care who belonged to whom. I was hers, even if she were not mine.
4. Why did I call on Chika’s father
A. To accuse him of his fake death.
B. To ask him about Chika’s condition.
C. To invite him to see Chika one last time.
D. To persuade him of our legal parenthood.
5. What does the underlined phrase “in the balance” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Evaluated. B. Unexplained. C. Lengthened. D. Undetermined.
6. How did I feel as I drove Chika’s father back
A. Unclear and angry. B. Eager and relieved.
C. Uneasy and troubled. D. Embarrassed and bored.
7. What’s the best title of the passage
A. My Love, Not Mine! B. Who Is “Legal” Father
C. Your Father, Not Yours! D. Who Belongs to Whom
C
Consider the following statement: “My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini...” The correct way to finish the sentence, according to some, is not showing appreciation or acting excited, but to complain about the pricy gift. If you say, “The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!” Congratulations, you have mastered the “Versailles (凡尔赛) literature.”
The term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from the Japanese manga series “The Rose of Versailles” and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. This new kind of bragging (吹嘘) is called humblebragging, the psychology behind which is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time. “The humblebragger recognizes that it's hard to be liked and be a showoff at the same time,” said psychologist Dr. Susan KraussWhitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
In an article titled “Why people hate humblebragging” published in Psychology Today, Whitbourne noted that the humblebrag is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one's accomplishments, but in a roundabout (迂回的) fashion.
However studies on social media users show that humblebragging, as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay, “Humblebragging: A distinct-and ineffective-self-presentation strategy,” researcher Ovul Sezer concluded from his research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. “The critical factor telling these strategies was sincerity. People don't like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers.”
“So, next time if you hear ‘My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini. The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!’. Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off.” a Zhihu user advised others on how to respond to a “pretentious narcissist”, “Respond with genuine sympathy for their complaint.”
8. Which of the following can replace the example in Paragraph 1
A. “I didn’t even have one look at my paper. I’m so over.”
B. “I have eaten nothing today, but I'm heavier than yesterday.”
C. “My husband bought me another Chanel purse. I love it so much.”
D. “I don’t even remember buying a house. My memory is really failing with age.”
9. Why do people humblebrag according to this article
A. Because they're really successful.
B. Because they want to show their complaint.
C. Because they want to be liked while bragging.
D. Because they always want to be the center of the topic.
10. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. Humblebraggers are dishonest
B. Straight braggers are popular with us.
C. Straight braggers are cleverer than humblebraggers.
D. Humblebraggers' insincerity accounts for their unpopularity.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. How to avoid humblebragging. B. Who might be a humblebragger.
C. How to fight a humblebragger back. D. What might hurt a humblebragger.
D
Fireflies that light up dark backyards on warm summer evenings use their luminescence (发光) for communication — to attract a mate or scare away enemies.
These shiny fireflies also inspired scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They built electroluminescent soft artificial muscles for flying, insect-size robots. The tiny artificial muscles that control the robots’ wings send out colored light during flight.
This electroluminescence could enable the robots to communicate with each other. If sent on a search-and-rescue task into a fallen building, for instance, a robot that finds survivors could use lights to signal others and call for help.
The ability to send out light also brings these tiny robots one step closer to flying on their own outside the lab. These robots are so lightweight that they can’t carry sensors, so researchers must track them using big infrared (红外线的) cameras that don’t work well outdoors. Now, they’ve shown that they can track the robots exactly using the light they send out and just three smartphone cameras.
“If you think of large-size robots, they can communicate using a lot of different tools. But for a tiny robot, we are forced to think about new modes of communication. This is a major step toward flying these robots in outdoor environments where we don’t have a state-of-the-art tracking system,” says Kevin Chen, who is the senior author of the paper. He and his team members did this by putting tiny electroluminescent particles into the artificial muscles. The process adds just 2.5 percent more weight without impacting the flight performance of the robot.
Joining Chen on the paper are Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduate students Suhan Kim, the lead author, Yi-Hsuan Hsiao, and Jie Mao, an associate professor at Ningxia University. The research was published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
12. How do the tiny artificial muscles work
A. They attract other insects. B. They strengthen the wings.
C. They scare away enemies. D. They keep rescuers informed.
13. Why did researchers try to improve the tiny robots
A. To make them fly. B. To put sensors inside them.
C. To replace smartphone cameras. D. To be aware of their locations.
14. Why does Kevin Chen mention large-size robots
A. To introduce their different types. B. To show their wide use in many fields.
C. To explain the problems of tiny robots. D. To describe how they inspired great scientists.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A Robotic shiny insects take flight B. Disaster survivors see new hope
C. Outdoor robots are replacing rescuers D. Fireflies are being made good use of

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
JOMO refers to the “joy of missing out” — in short, unplugging from all media, practicing self-care, reconnecting to the present moment, and learning to appreciate the inner peace of being alone. JOMO is especially important for digital natives. ___16___ They have grown up in a world where social media is an essential part of their lives. Unplugging (拔掉电源插头) from the devices can help by giving us a break from the cruel social comparison that may be at the root of a lot of the anxiety. The following strategies can help you find joy in missing out.
Make a list of activities you really enjoy doing.
Post it in an accessible place so that at a moment’s notice, you’ve got a reminder of activities that bring you joy. ___17___
Take regular tech breaks.
A lot of FOMO (fear of missing out) is generated by scrolling through social media and the resulting social comparisons that inevitably happen. ___18___ Ground yourself in the present moment.
Invest in offline connections with others.
This can include family, partners, friends, and neighbors. ___19___ A brief on-site activity is a better way to build meaningful relationships than investing untold nights in connecting with relative strangers online.
___20___
This is often the most difficult thing to do for those with demanding fast-paced lives, but it’s essential to stay well and to take care of ourselves. It might be a solo nature walk, a warm bath, meditation, or soothing music — whatever makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
A. Include them in your day.
B. Make time for personal care.
C. Unplug for a set time each day.
D. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount of time.

Grace and I were once college roommates and our initial encounter was anything but friendly. As a sociable and enthusiastic individual, I struggled to connect with Grace, who was reserved and shy. Our contrasting personalities posed challenges for both of us. Grace enjoyed early mornings at the library, absorbed in reading, whereas I cherished my sleep-ins. The noise arising from her morning rituals, spanning from her morning hygiene routine to room organization, annoyed me considerably. Following our study sessions, Grace willingly maintained order in our shared living space, unlike me, whose desk remained in constant disorder.
One morning, I was unexpectedly awakened by a loud crash, only to discover that Grace had accidentally broken my favorite cup. Imagining all the disagreements, I was getting mad. I lost my temper and yelled a bunch of angry words at her without thinking. “What on earth, Grace! That was my favorite cup!” “I’m so sorry! I’ll clean it up.” “Clean it up You’ve got to be kidding me!” After my outburst, Grace’s eyes welled up with tears. Silently, she began to clean up the broken pieces before leaving the room with her bag.
That night, as the bell signaling the end of study hours rang, I returned to the room only to find it empty. The roommate, who usually hangs around the room, was nowhere to be seen. It felt a little strange like something wasn’t right. I thought maybe she was still upset about our argument in the morning. I started worrying. Did what I said hurt her feelings Is she avoiding me now I kept thinking about our argument. It was then that I noticed the cleanliness Grace had left behind — a dorm so clean you could eat off the floor. I was filled with regret as I became aware of the consequences of my morning outburst. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. Feeling bad and wanting to fix things, I decided to go to find her.

After Chika, my adopted daughter, received her treatment in the US, I took her back to Haiti to see the orphanage (孤儿院) numerous times. On one of these times, I got to know that Chika’s father was still alive and sound, in a place known as Tabarre. As a matter of fact, I had been told that he might also be dead.
I drove to his house. Stepping out in front me was her father, a short, strong man with a broad mustache. I said to him that I came because of Chika’s medical condition — the brain tumor (肿瘤). I explained that her life could be in the balance. I then inquired if it was significant for Chika to be buried in Haiti. He responded by saying, “It doesn’t mean. Whatever you think.”
I eventually came to my utmost mission. I requested him to see his daughter — and her to see him — perhaps because, deep down, I doubted about another chance. Yet as we drove back, there was part of me feeling as if I had been nudged (轻推) to the side of the picture. Although I have done much for Chika, this man has a certain claim that I never have.
Yours, not yours! The paperwork at the orphanage was signed by me. It obligates me to feed, educate, and protect Chika. But in the end, it is a document, not parenthood. Yours, not yours! I wrestled with this question many times. Chika, remember what you once asked How did you find me I promised myself you would never feel lost again.
After two hours, the father walked over, shook my hand, and left. That night, Chika rested her head upon my shoulder and after a few seconds mumbled, “Dad What will you do while I sleep ”
“I’ll read,” I said. “And think about how much I love you.”
She nodded, her eyes glowed. “That’s what I’ll do too.”
At that moment, I didn’t care who belonged to whom. I was hers, even if she were not mine.
4. Why did I call on Chika’s father
A. To accuse him of his fake death.
B. To ask him about Chika’s condition.
C. To invite him to see Chika one last time.
D. To persuade him of our legal parenthood.
5. What does the underlined phrase “in the balance” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Evaluated. B. Unexplained. C. Lengthened. D. Undetermined.
6. How did I feel as I drove Chika’s father back
A. Unclear and angry. B. Eager and relieved.
C. Uneasy and troubled. D. Embarrassed and bored.
7. What’s the best title of the passage
A. My Love, Not Mine! B. Who Is “Legal” Father
C. Your Father, Not Yours! D. Who Belongs to Whom
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A

Consider the following statement: “My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini...” The correct way to finish the sentence, according to some, is not showing appreciation or acting excited, but to complain about the pricy gift. If you say, “The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!” Congratulations, you have mastered the “Versailles (凡尔赛) literature.”
The term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from the Japanese manga series “The Rose of Versailles” and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. This new kind of bragging (吹嘘) is called humblebragging, the psychology behind which is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time. “The humblebragger recognizes that it's hard to be liked and be a showoff at the same time,” said psychologist Dr. Susan KraussWhitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
In an article titled “Why people hate humblebragging” published in Psychology Today, Whitbourne noted that the humblebrag is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one's accomplishments, but in a roundabout (迂回的) fashion.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging, as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay, “Humblebragging: A distinct-and ineffective-self-presentation strategy,” researcher Ovul Sezer concluded from his research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. “The critical factor telling these strategies was sincerity. People don't like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers.”
“So, next time if you hear ‘My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini. The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!’. Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off.” a Zhihu user advised others on how to respond to a “pretentious narcissist”, “Respond with genuine sympathy for their complaint.”
8. Which of the following can replace the example in Paragraph 1
A. “I didn’t even have one look at my paper. I’m so over.”
B. “I have eaten nothing today, but I'm heavier than yesterday.”
C “My husband bought me another Chanel purse. I love it so much.”
D. “I don’t even remember buying a house. My memory is really failing with age.”
9. Why do people humblebrag according to this article
A. Because they're really successful.
B. Because they want to show their complaint.
C. Because they want to be liked while bragging.
D. Because they always want to be the center of the topic.
10. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. Humblebraggers are dishonest
B. Straight braggers are popular with us.
C. Straight braggers are cleverer than humblebraggers.
D. Humblebraggers' insincerity accounts for their unpopularity.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. How to avoid humblebragging. B. Who might be a humblebragger.
C. How to fight a humblebragger back. D. What might hurt a humblebragger.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“凡尔赛文学”。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Consider the following statement: “My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini...” The correct way to finish the sentence, according to some, is not showing appreciation or acting excited, but to complain about the pricy gift. If you say, “The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!” Congratulations, you have mastered the “Versailles (凡尔赛) literature.” (想想下面这个句子：“我丈夫给我买了一辆粉红色的兰博基尼……”根据一些人的说法，正确的结束句子的方式不是表示感谢或表现出兴奋的样子，而是抱怨礼物太贵。如果你说:“这颜色太丑了，男人的品味太差了！”恭喜你，你已经掌握了“凡尔赛文学”。)”可知，第一段中说话的人是个得了便宜还卖乖的人，D选项“I don’t even remember buying a house. My memory is really failing with age. (我甚至不记得买过房子。我的记忆力随着年龄的增长而衰退。)”可以代替第1段中的例子。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段后面““The humblebragger recognizes that it's hard to be liked and be a showoff at the same time,” said psychologist Dr. Susan KraussWhitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. (马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的心理学家苏珊·克劳斯·惠特伯恩博士说：“谦虚的吹牛者意识到，既要讨人喜欢，又要炫耀是很难的。”)”可知，人们会谦虚因为他们想在吹牛的时候被人喜欢。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging, as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay, “Humblebragging: A distinct-and ineffective-self-presentation strategy,” researcher Ovul Sezer concluded from his research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. “The critical factor telling these strategies was sincerity. People don't like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers.” (然而，对社交媒体用户的研究表明，谦虚自夸作为一种自我推销策略并不奏效。在文章《谦虚自夸:一种独特而无效的自我展示策略》中，研究人员Ovul Sezer从他的研究中得出结论，谦虚自夸者比直接自夸者被认为更消极，因为前者不真诚。“决定这些策略的关键因素是真诚。人们不喜欢吹牛的人，但他们至少认为他们比谦虚的吹牛者更真诚。”)”可知，谦逊者的虚伪是他们不受欢迎的原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““So, next time if you hear ‘My husband bought me a pink Lamborghini. The color is so ugly, men have such bad taste!’. Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off.” a Zhihu user advised others on how to respond to a “pretentious narcissist”, “Respond with genuine sympathy for their complaint.” (“所以，下次如果你听到‘我丈夫给我买了一辆粉红色的兰博基尼。颜色太难看了，男人的品味太差了!”只要假装你不懂他们想要炫耀的东西。一位知乎用户建议其他人如何应对“自命的自恋者”，“对他们的抱怨表示真诚的同情。”)”可知，本段关于如何回击一个谦虚的吹牛者。故选C。
D
Fireflies that light up dark backyards on warm summer evenings use their luminescence (发光) for communication — to attract a mate or scare away enemies.
These shiny fireflies also inspired scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They built electroluminescent soft artificial muscles for flying, insect-size robots. The tiny artificial muscles that control the robots’ wings send out colored light during flight.
This electroluminescence could enable the robots to communicate with each other. If sent on a search-and-rescue task into a fallen building, for instance, a robot that finds survivors could use lights to signal others and call for help.
The ability to send out light also brings these tiny robots one step closer to flying on their own outside the lab. These robots are so lightweight that they can’t carry sensors, so researchers must track them using big infrared (红外线的) cameras that don’t work well outdoors. Now, they’ve shown that they can track the robots exactly using the light they send out and just three smartphone cameras.
“If you think of large-size robots, they can communicate using a lot of different tools. But for a tiny robot, we are forced to think about new modes of communication. This is a major step toward flying these robots in outdoor environments where we don’t have a state-of-the-art tracking system,” says Kevin Chen, who is the senior author of the paper. He and his team members did this by putting tiny electroluminescent particles into the artificial muscles. The process adds just 2.5 percent more weight without impacting the flight performance of the robot.
Joining Chen on the paper are Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduate students Suhan Kim, the lead author, Yi-Hsuan Hsiao, and Jie Mao, an associate professor at Ningxia University. The research was published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
12. How do the tiny artificial muscles work
A. They attract other insects. B. They strengthen the wings.
C. They scare away enemies. D. They keep rescuers informed.
13. Why did researchers try to improve the tiny robots
A. To make them fly. B. To put sensors inside them.
C. To replace smartphone cameras. D. To be aware of their locations.
14. Why does Kevin Chen mention large-size robots
A. To introduce their different types. B. To show their wide use in many fields.
C. To explain the problems of tiny robots. D. To describe how they inspired great scientists.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Robotic shiny insects take flight B. Disaster survivors see new hope
C. Outdoor robots are replacing rescuers D. Fireflies are being made good use of
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种受到萤火虫启发而制造的会飞的微小昆虫机器人，控制翅膀的微小人造肌肉在飞行过程中可以发出彩色的光来和人们进行“交流”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“If sent on a search-and-rescue task into a fallen building, for instance, a robot that finds survivors could use lights to signal others and call for help.(例如，如果一个机器人被派往倒塌的建筑物执行搜救任务，找到幸存者的机器人可以用灯光向其他人发出信号并寻求帮助)”可知，在找到幸存者时，这种微小人造肌肉可以通过灯光通知救援人员。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“These robots are so lightweight that they can’t carry sensors, so researchers must track them using big infrared (红外线的) cameras that don’t work well outdoors. Now, they’ve shown that they can track the robots exactly using the light they send out and just three smartphone cameras.(这些机器人非常轻，不能携带传感器，因此研究人员必须使用大型红外摄像机来跟踪它们，而这种摄像机在户外不太好用。现在，他们已经证明，他们可以利用机器人发出的光和三个智能手机摄像头精确地跟踪机器人)”推知，研究人员努力改进这种微小机器人是为了跟踪它们，弄清楚它们的准确位置。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“If you think of large-size robots, they can communicate using a lot of different tools. But for a tiny robot, we are forced to think about new modes of communication.(如果你想想大型机器人，它们可以使用很多不同的工具进行交流。但对于一个微型机器人来说，我们不得不考虑新的交流方式)”推知，提到大机器人是为了指出微小机器人的不足——不能使用多种工具进行交流。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“These shiny fireflies also inspired scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They built electroluminescent soft artificial muscles for flying, insect-size robots. The tiny artificial muscles that control the robots’ wings send out colored light during flight.(这些闪亮的萤火虫也启发了麻省理工学院的科学家。他们为昆虫大小的飞行机器人制造了电致发光的柔软人造肌肉。控制机器人翅膀的微小人造肌肉在飞行过程中发出彩色光)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种受到萤火虫启发而制造的会飞的微小昆虫机器人，控制翅膀的微小人造肌肉在飞行过程中可以发出彩色的光来和人们进行“交流”。因此A项“闪亮的机器人昆虫开始飞行”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

Grace and I were once college roommates and our initial encounter was anything but friendly. As a sociable and enthusiastic individual, I struggled to connect with Grace, who was reserved and shy. Our contrasting personalities posed challenges for both of us. Grace enjoyed early mornings at the library, absorbed in reading, whereas I cherished my sleep-ins. The noise arising from her morning rituals, spanning from her morning hygiene routine to room organization, annoyed me considerably. Following our study sessions, Grace willingly maintained order in our shared living space, unlike me, whose desk remained in constant disorder.
One morning, I was unexpectedly awakened by a loud crash, only to discover that Grace had accidentally broken my favorite cup. Imagining all the disagreements, I was getting mad. I lost my temper and yelled a bunch of angry words at her without thinking. “What on earth, Grace! That was my favorite cup!” “I’m so sorry! I’ll clean it up.” “Clean it up You’ve got to be kidding me!” After my outburst, Grace’s eyes welled up with tears. Silently, she began to clean up the broken pieces before leaving the room with her bag.
That night, as the bell signaling the end of study hours rang, I returned to the room only to find it empty. The roommate, who usually hangs around the room, was nowhere to be seen. It felt a little strange like something wasn’t right. I thought maybe she was still upset about our argument in the morning. I started worrying. Did what I said hurt her feelings Is she avoiding me now I kept thinking about our argument. It was then that I noticed the cleanliness Grace had left behind — a dorm so clean you could eat off the floor. I was filled with regret as I became aware of the consequences of my morning outburst. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. Feeling bad and wanting to fix things, I decided to go to find her.
