阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step-mother moved in — Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched (夹脚). I didn’t remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad’s footsteps upstairs. “Do you want to take Jen skating?” he asked.
“I guess.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.
“Thanks,” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. “We’ll make that snowman later,” he promised.
“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn’t help but feel as if she were changing everything.
“No, thanks. I’m not hungry,” I said, although I was, a little.
“Ready?” I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. “Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I’d never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she’d had to move up north with us. She’d had more changes than me.

Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is, you’ll likely receive wildly different responses. The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 1.
Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams.
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die without actions supporting them. 2.Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes.
3. Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed，and those lessons have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.
4.
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale. If you’re under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. 5.
For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve success. Maybe we’ll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination .
A.Take care of yourself.
B.Improve your personality.
C.Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D.It’s best to rest, recover, and slowly build back up your strength.
E.Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.
F.Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes, it is impossible to avoid them.
G.Though we can’t choose the outcome of our actions, we can choose to keep pursuing(追求）.
Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk ofdeveloping ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.
The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked theirphones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the mostoften were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs ofADHD.
Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern mediadevices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive. Exposure to such information may drawattention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt thedevelopment of constant attention and organization skills.”
They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on thistopic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets andmobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposedto higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHDsymptoms in the future,” he said.
Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how newmobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk forchildren. And the findings serve as a warning.
British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of theOxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided bythe students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the childrensimilarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with eitheractual behavior or higher quality survey items.”
1.How did the researchers conduct the study?
A.By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.
B.By tracking the participants for two years.
C.By analyzing data from previous researches online.
D.By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.
2.What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?
A.It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.
B.It will create higher ADHD risks.
C.It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.
D.It will have a major influence on organization skills.
3.What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?
A.It provides a better understanding of the media.
B.It should have focused on parents’ responses.
C.Its findings are not reliable enough.
D.It’s a breakthrough in this field.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The use of digital media is on the rise
B.Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD
C.Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks
D.Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention
