Joy is 14 years old. Last month her parents went aboard on 3.b       , so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be 4.h        when her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. 5.B        when it was six o’clock in the afternoon, she felt 6.h       . “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. 7.L        she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she 8.m        her parents very much. At last she could only go to the supermarket and bought some food to9.e       .
