阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Wide awake, I sat up in bed before dawn. I'd had another dream about Jennifer, my middle child. She's 38 now. Usually in my dreams she's still a little shy girl.

Jennifer had been five years old and her older sister seven, when the twins were born. Everything changed. The boys demanded much of my time and energy, so I hardly had any left for their older sisters. Sweet, quiet Jennifer, sandwiched between the others, required almost nothing from me. Eventually Jennifer had her own children and lived about an hour and a half away. But it seemed as though she were worlds away.

I often dreamed about her. In this one she was a grown woman and mixed in with a crowd. I waved hard, “Jennifer! I'm over here!” But she didn't notice me.

I longed to hear my daughter's voice and called, “Hey, I had a dream about you.” Then Jennifer surprised me. “I dreamed about you too. But it was terrible. I won't even tell you.”

“But I am eager to hear.”

Her words came out without thinking, “We were walking through a vegetable garden. A farmer shouted that I'd stepped on one of his tomatoes and asked for 43 cents. I didn't have any money and turned to you. You said no. I begged. I woke up in tears.”

The pain in her voice almost cut my breath off. “There were so many things I should have done for you. I overlooked you. You seemed so competent and independent. I forgot you were just a child.”

There was silence on her end of the line. The communication seemed broken again. I called an old friend and told her about Jennifer's dream and our awkward attempt to connect. “Your relationship probably broke down over a lot of little things,” she said.

注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I realized what I should do to mend our relationship.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I often go to a certain cafe when I wish to work away from home, where I face many of my self-created distractions.

Once when I stood in line at the cafe, I looked at a large number of pastries (油酥点心) that attracted me, and was thinking which pastry I was going to choose with my cup of tea. At that time, I realized the line wasn’t moving as smoothly as I had wished it would. I was in no particular rush, but noticed this thought surface. When I became aware of this, it promoted me to look at the two individuals before me.

One was an elderly woman perhaps in her 70s. She seemed to fumble (摸索) in her change purse and inquired in detail about the prices. It was then evident that she ordered iced tea as well as a pastry, but did not have enough money for both. She decided on the pastry and left the iced tea behind. Seeing this made my heart sink. I watched her walk away and sit down at a table nearby.

At that time I found myself deeply involved in the scene. I found myself confused as I had originally thought the woman behind the elderly woman was her friend. I kept observing.

The woman behind the elderly lady, then placed her order. And my eyes did not follow her to where she sat.

I smiled at the person at the counter and then proceeded to buy my cup of tea, along with the pastry. But then I gazed over the person’s shoulder to where the iced tea was standing. So, I asked if it could be added to my order. My request was met with slight confusion, but I did not feel inspired to share at the time what my next move would be.

As I walked over to the table where the elderly woman had sat down, I noticed she was no longer there, but the pastry was uneaten on her plate. I took a quick look around and saw her coming back. I very quickly placed the iced tea on the table and then made my way to the rest room.

注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Upon my return, to my surprise I noticed both the women were sitting together.

However, the other thought that surfaced in my mind was that of judgment.

The closer one studies the gig economy (灰色经济), the less fun it sounds. Those who make their living this way, generally _________ app-based platforms that match consumer needs with workers who can fulfil them, _________ being in uncertain employment.

Bodies such as the International Labor Organization characterize this kind of employment as mostly low paid and _________, in which workers enjoy very few social, organizational and _________ rights and protections.

Attention is turning to the health and wellbeing of this fast-growing workforce, which _________ about 1.3m in the U.K. One academic is even calling for a “Gighall” study—similar to the landmark Whitehall _________ into the health of civil servants.

Those studies, conducted over three decades by Sir Michael Marmot, demonstrated the _________ between socio-economic status and health, a correlation that became known as “status syndrome”. Senior civil servants enjoyed lower _________ of death and heart disease than lowlier employees, a difference partly ascribed to (把……归功于……)autonomy (自主权) at work.

The _________ of powerlessness that afflicts (折磨；使痛苦) many in the gig economy—according to one survey, only four out of 10 gig workers (零工) feel like they are their own __________—suggests that health problems may be brewing in this sizeable slice of workforce.

One study on the Italian workforce, published last year in Social Science and Medicine, suggests that those on __________ contracts are more likely to use prescription medication for mental health conditions such as __________(although the reverse is also true that preexisting ill health leads to more irregular employment).

__________ not specifically about the gig economy, the authors, from the universities of Brunel and Milan, conclude that the __________ to make labour markets more flexible might prove ill for the psychological wellbeing of workers.

Gig work is often conducted privately, in cars and homes, from bicycles and motorbikes, instead of from a __________ workplace, so basic hazards, such as fatigue associated with long hours, can go unnoticed.
