You end up feeling worse for having to ignore them." I also realize not socializing with people weren't good for my mental well-being.Not only that, but I can now show my kids that Mom is important and has a job at a flashy office building, something they didn't realize when1 sat around in yoga pants typing on my computer all day long.24.The underlined part " living the dream" in Paragraph 2 refers to " "A.earning a lot of moneyB.working from homeC.no suffering from stressD.no taking care of her kid25.How did the author feel about taking her kids to 8 day care center ?A.ExcitedB.StressedC.RelaxedD.Guilty26.While working as a freelancer, the author .A.made a great many friendB.was not good at telling storiesC.felt terrible for ignoring her kidD.left her daughter for a long time27.We can infer that now the author’s kids .A.understand why their mom works so hardB.are much prouder of their momC.are feeling sad for leaving their momD.realize why their mom is importantCIn the late 1990s, Google was just a start-up company operating out of a garage in PaloAlto, California.Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company while studying at Stanford University.
