I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.（承上总结句）②As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. （承上启下句）Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it? I absolutely should be in bed.③I shuffled back to bed, wiggled under the covers and shut my eyes.(1)Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake.

I should try to crack（找到解决办法）the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn't want to spread any germs. The wash could wait. (2)My family was resourceful enough toscrounge clothing for the next day.⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. (4)Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.本部分重点及难点：2.

at the intersection 在十字路口For several hours I made myself highly visible, shifting position now and then from corner to corner to corner, from shop window to shop window, to make sure everyone could see the heavy black lettering on the bag that said the Saturday Evening Post.译文：一连好几个钟头我尽量惹人注意，不时转移地方，一会儿在这个街角，一会儿到另一个街角，一会儿在这个橱窗旁，一会儿又换个橱窗，想办法让所有的人都能看到包上《星期六晚间邮报》这几个粗体字。

e.g. I can’t stand for the manager wh en he is out.I wouldn’t stand for that sort of treatment if I were you.2 break down 制服，压垮14 I told my mother I’d changed my mind about wanting to succeed in the magazine business.15 “If you think I’m going to raise a good-for-nothing,” she replied,” you’ve got another think coming.”2 “If you think I’m going to raise a good-for-nothing,” she said, “you’ve got another think coming.”“I won’t tell you grow up to become a good-for-nothing,” she replied, “If you think I will, you’re quite mistaken, and you’d better stop thinking that way.”2 set forth: to set out/off 动身，出发2 Be due 到期限译文：她回答说：“你要是以为我会去培养一个废物，那你趁早打消这个念头。
