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.
