When I was ten, my parents went to another town to look after my sick grandfather. So I was, all by myself for twenty-four {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. At first, I was a little afraid because I had never been home{#blank#}2{#/blank#}before. But soon I forgot about it because I{#blank#}3{#/blank#}myself into an interesting book. I spent the whole morning{#blank#}4{#/blank#} it. At noon, I took the food out of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}and heated it. Mum cooked a lot of food before she{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. In order to prove(证明) that I could take care of myself, I washed my {#blank#}7{#/blank#}in the afternoon. In the evening, I finished my homework and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} two movies on TV. Then I went to bed at 10：30. Being home alone was not as {#blank#}9{#/blank#}as I had thought. I really felt {#blank#}10{#/blank#}of myself and thought I was a big girl.

Mandy: Lisa, are you OK?

Lisa: I have a headache and I can't move my neck. What should I do? Should I take  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}temperature?

Mandy: No, it doesn't sound like you have a fever. What did you do on the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

Lisa: I played computer games all the weekend.

Mandy: That's probably why. You need to take  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} away from the computer.

Lisa: Yeah, I think I  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  in the same way for too long  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  moving.

Mandy: I think you should lie down and rest. If your head and neck still hurt tomorrow, then go to a doctor.

Lisa: OK! Thanks, Mandy.
