“Ugh, meatballs again? We have them every day this week. I hate
36!” Matt shouted at table. Matt’s mum and dad looked at each other. He
got 37 at least twice a week all summer.
“Matt, we’re going to let 38 take over dinnertime from now on. You
can pick the meals and cook them,” Mum said. Matt 39 agreed.
The next day, Matt was happy to make the meal plan. But it wasn’t as
40 as he thought. Almost every time he picked some dishes out, his dad
would tell him that someone in the 41 wouldn’t like it.
After shopping, it was time for Matt to make his first 42. It took
almost two hours to make dinner. Matt was 43 and hungry when he
finished dinner.
“Er, this chicken tastes funny. I won’t eat it,” Sophia said. But he
worked so hard! He felt like he might 44.
The next day, Matt didn’t want to 45. “We should just go out to eat
every night, then everyone can get what they 46,” he said.
“It would be very nice to go out every night, 47 that would mean we
need to spend a lot more 48 on the food. Do you think that’s worth(值得)
it?” Mum asked.
“Oh, I guess not. I’ll get started with 49,” said Matt. Once again,
he was tired and hungry when dinner was ready.
“I don’t like corn,” cried Sophia. Matt got to know then how his 50
must feel every time he complained(抱怨).

解析:36. 根据短文开头 Matt 的抱怨"Ugh, meatballs again?"可知他讨厌的食物是肉丸。37. 根据上文中的"Matt shouted at table."可知他在发脾气,got mad 符合语境。39. 根据下文中的"The next day, Matt was happy to make the meal plan."可知 Matt 很高兴地同意了妈妈的提议。40. 句中的 But 表示转折,说明事情并不像他想的那么容易。42. 上文提到 Matt 接管晚餐,此处指他做的第一顿饭。43. 结合上文中的"It took almost two hours to make dinner."可知做饭花了他将近两个小时,完成后自然是感到疲惫和饥饿。44. 结合语境可知 Matt 辛苦劳动的成果被否定,他感到极度委屈。45. 结合上文 Matt 做饭的辛苦和被抱怨的经历可知第二天他不想再做饭了。46. 根据句意可知出去吃饭,每个人就能点到自己想要吃的食物。47. 前后句构成转折关系,出去吃饭很好,但意味着花费更多的钱。49. 承接上文,Matt 只能继续准备晚餐。50. 通过亲身经历,Matt 终于理解了每次他抱怨时父母的感受。
