Something quite tragic(悲剧的) happened in our home.It had a1effect on our lives.It challenged the way we relax and even where we sit.There was no fire or flood...we2our WiFi service for over a week.
I was raised in the preWiFi era, so I was relatively3to the situation.My children,4, did not have this training.When given the news that there was no WiFi in the house, their first response was："But, what will we do？" Fortunately, the TV still worked, although the children were5to find that it had only 70 channels.
For the children, a(n)6challenge was homework, most of which is now given online.The lack of broadband seemed to provide a new version of "the dog ate my homework" excuse.My daughter7that one of her friends had her water supply temporarily8due to a leak, but she thought that our lack of WiFi was9."Because you can go to the shop and buy water, right？"

The changes that technology has created in our daily life have occurred without us really14.The15part of our time without WiFi was seeing the children make forts(堡垒) out of the sofa cushions, which they haven't done in years.
