    "Oh，come on!Don't be （6）　　.I'll pick the first song，" Alison started singing.

    "Could you please leave me alone？" I snapped （怒气冲冲地说）.

    "Wow!Happily!" she sapped hack. "How about we both leave each other alone forever？!"

    This makes me think of the expression "too much of a good thing".Alison's dad said， "You know how one piece of cake tastes （7）　 　，but 10 pieces of cake is too much.Spending every second with anyone—even your favorite person—is like （8）　　 too much cake."

    "I guess that makes sense，" Alison said.She looked at （9）　. "I'm sorry for not understanding."

    "I'm sorry for snapping at you，" I said.

    The weather got way better on the fourth day，so we actually got to go outside.The hiking was really fun!The happiest part of all is that Alison and I are still great （10）　　.We just make sure to give each other some peace when we need it.
