It was such a(n) 67_____ job that I could have done it in my sleep.

We chat with them, laugh with them and connect with them. People don't just need a place to clean their clothes. They need friendship. That is why your job is the most important job in the laundromat.”

My father's words had the expected 70_____. From then on, I even weighed the coffee beans more carefully, making sure that the coffee would turn out just right. After all, I had the most important job in the laundromat, and that was worth taking seriously.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）(12分)

Last week's meeting didn't go as well as Anna had thought. She didn't get the team she wanted for the project. Anna didn't want to hand over any important work to a group of freshers with little to no experience. "How will I get this done on my own?” she panicked because all the stress was now getting to her.

By the time Anna reached home, her body had burnt up with a fever. Anna went straight to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she was behind schedule.

Ray, knocked at the door and went in. "Good morning, mum!" said the 10-year-old. “Are you not feeling wel1l?" Ray asked.

“Not too bad," Anna replied.

“You look sick, mum. Wait! I know what you need to feel better. I will be back," Ray said.

"Hey...” Anna tried to stop him but Ray was already gone. She didn't have the strength to get up and see what he was doing. She lay there for a while and finally fell asleep.

“Were you cooking? I've told you so many times to stay away from the kitchen. You are only 10. What if you get burnt?" ”Anna was dead worried. She couldn't believe Ray would do such a thing without any experience.

"Don't worry, mum. I had called grandma and she was able to help me. I made your favourite soup,” Ray replied.

Anna was surprised, but quickly she began to eat the soup.

“This is very tasty. I am so proud of you!" she said as she hugged her little boy.

“Thanks, mum. After all, how will I learn something if I never try doing it?” he said in a happy voice.
