#字词篇
1. When I got home, I ran upstairs and stuffed the money under my mattress. I tossed and turned all night trying to figure out what to do with my new Mom Bucks.
Stuff the money under my mattress, stuff在这里的用法我们之前也见过，表示“塞入，填充…”
Toss and turn: to keep changing your position in bed because you cannot sleep
What to do with=how to deal with
造句：Knowing I had made a big mistake, I just tossed and turned all night.

3. So even though I didn’t want to, I decided to take Rodrick up on his offer.

同样地，如果我们说take down/refuse/reject/decline an offer，意思就是say no to it
造句：My sister said she would give me a ride to school, and I just took her up on her offer.

At the beginning, things just went on the right track when all of us were engaged in card games. Seeing how harmonious the situation was, I just let the guard down, and went to the kitchen serving some grapes. However, right when I got out I even couldn’t believe my eyes.
