When I was only 13 years old，SARS broke out.But I still remember one moment when several days before a math exam, our teacher abruptly told us it had been 1.C because of SARS.She also said we would take lessons at home.As preparing for the exam had given me a 2.B , it felt as if all my dreams were coming true.I sang songs on my way home.
When I reached home, my father 3.D told me not to go out for a month.This was 4.C news, as I hadn't planned to go out anyway.Oh, how 5.A ！I could play games, watch TV series and eat snacks day and night.All these activities were on my checklist.However, after finishing all the activities on the list, my stomach was full but my brain was 6.C .On returning to school, our teacher hadn't forgotten about the test, but I 7.A to remember how to solve most of the math problems.
My first 8.B of self-quarantining(自我隔离) at home made me realize that the 9.A wasn't about having fun.So when COVID-19 broke out, being quarantined made me 10.B my childhood days 17 years ago.The virus will be 11.C one day and when it is, no exam will lie in wait.However, as I'm no longer a student, home is far more than a(n) 12.D place to eat, drink and have fun.
My friends also feel that their time spent at home has helped them 13.D more than usual.Some have become 14.A home chefs, while others have finished reading War and Peace.One has taught himself a foreign language.To 15.C my childhood shortcomings，I have signed up for a math class on an online platform.
