5.短文理解

As she entered the kitchen, she noticed a bad smell. She wrinkled her nose in disgust and looked around for the source. Suddenly, she saw her little brother trying to cook something on the stove. He had never been much of a chef, and it was obvious that he had made a mess.

There was a crab lying on the counter, its legs and claws spread out as if it were trying to escape. It was no wonder there was a fishy odor in the air. She looked at the stove and saw that it was covered in a layer of grease. Her brother had obviously been cooking the crab before abandoning it.

She rolled up her sleeves and set to work. First, she grabbed a scraper to remove the grease from the stove. It was a crude tool, but it did the job. The stove began to shine again, and the bad smell started to dissipate.

Next, she looked for something to cover the crab's smell. She found a few blinds on the windowsill and arranged them around the crab. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it worked well enough.

As she turned around to continue cleaning, she heard a "plunk" sound behind her. She frowned and saw that her brother had dropped something on the ground. It was then that she smelled an unmistakable fart. She sighed and told him that his behavior was unacceptable. She decided to expel him from the kitchen until he could behave better.

With the stove and the crab cleaned up, she proceeded to stamp a few letters that had been waiting on the counter. She used tongs to pick up the letters, careful not to get any sticky glue on her fingers.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment, she turned to leave the kitchen. However, as she reached the door, she accidentally stepped on something hard. There was a loud snap, and she realized she had broken a utensil that her mother had left out. She quickly picked up the pieces and chucked them in the trash.

As she walked away, she noticed that her little brother had left a mess of fuzz on the floor. It was another thing to hamper her progress. She decided to clean it up later, along with the broken utensil.

Later that day, she helped her father install a new panel on their garage door. The work was hard, and she had to use all her strength to prod the panel into place. As she worked, she absentmindedly played with her eyebrows, trying to keep them out of her eyes.

Eventually, the job was done, and she went inside to relax. She sat down with a plate of eggs, but grimaced when she saw that they were covered in yolk. She sighed and shook her head. Some days were just messier than others.

当她走进厨房时，她闻到一股难闻的气味。她厌恶地皱起鼻子，四处寻找声音的来源。突然，她看见她的小弟弟正在炉子上煮东西。他从来就不是个称职的厨师，很明显，他把事情弄得一团糟。

柜台上躺着一只螃蟹，它的腿和爪子摊开，好像要逃跑。难怪空气中有股鱼腥味。她看了看炉子，发现上面盖了一层油脂。显然，她哥哥在扔掉螃蟹之前一直在煮螃蟹。

她卷起袖子开始工作。首先，她拿起一把刮刀清除炉子上的油脂。这是一个粗糙的工具，但它完成了工作。炉子又开始发光了，难闻的气味开始消散。

接下来，她找了些东西来掩盖螃蟹的气味。她在窗台上找了几条百叶窗，把它们围在螃蟹周围。这不是一个完美的解决方案，但它运行得很好。

当她转身继续打扫时，她听到身后“扑通”的一声。她皱起眉头，看到她哥哥把什么东西掉在地上了。就在这时，她闻到了一个明显的屁味。她叹了口气，告诉他，他的行为是不可接受的。她决定把他赶出厨房，直到他表现好一点为止。

炉子和螃蟹打扫干净后，她开始在柜台上等着的几封信上盖章。她用钳子夹起那些信，小心翼翼地不让胶水粘到手指上。

她感到一种成就感，转身离开了厨房。然而，当她走到门口时，她不小心踩到了硬物。啪的一声巨响，她意识到自己打碎了母亲放在外面的一个餐具。她迅速捡起碎片，扔进了垃圾桶。

当她走开时，她注意到她的小弟弟在地板上留下了一团绒毛。这是阻碍她进步的另一件事。她决定稍后把它和打碎的餐具一起清理干净。

那天晚些时候，她帮父亲在车库门上安装了一块新的嵌板。工作很辛苦，她必须使出全身的力气把镶板钉到位。她一边工作，一边心不在焉地拨弄着眉毛，试图不让眉毛碰到眼睛。

最后，工作完成了，她进屋休息。她端着一盘鸡蛋坐了下来，但当她看到鸡蛋上覆盖着蛋黄时，她做了个鬼脸。她叹了口气，摇了摇头。有些日子就是比其他日子更混乱。
