A Cake to Remember　　難忘的噁心蛋糕

提示：
　　請根據右邊三張連環圖畫的內容，以"Judy had run out of food, so she went out to do some shopping."開頭，寫一篇約120-140字的文章，描述圖中主角所經歷的事件，並提供合理的解釋與結局。


　　Judy had run out of food, so she went out to do some shopping. She passed by a bakery and was attracted to the heavenly1 smell coming from inside. Everything looked delicious, so she went into the bakery and bought a couple cupcakes2.

　　When Judy wanted to eat something sweet the following day, the cupcakescame to mind. She excitedly took one out of the box from the fridge3. As she wasremoving the wax paper4 from the cupcake, she saw something odd. The surface of the cupcake was covered with green mold5. Immediately, Judy checked the others and found that they had all gone bad. Judy felt sick and swore never to buy anything from that bakery again. She also couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if she had taken a bite of the rotten cupcake without looking at it first.

　　茱蒂家中的食物都快吃完了，所以她就外出採買。當她經過一家麵包店時，裡面所傳出的美妙香氣深深吸引了她。那裡的每樣糕點看起來都很美味，於是茱蒂便進去店裡買了一些杯子蛋糕。

　　隔天，當茱蒂嘴饞想吃點甜食的時候，她就想到了那些杯子蛋糕。她興奮地從冰箱裡的盒子中拿出一個杯子蛋糕。正當她要把蛋糕外層的蠟紙拿掉時，她看到了某個地方怪怪的。杯子蛋糕的表面全都佈滿了綠色的黴菌。茱蒂立刻檢查其他的蛋糕，發現它們也全都發霉了。茱蒂覺得很噁心，並且發誓再也不去光顧那家麵包店。她不禁想了一下，要是她一開始連看都沒看就咬下那個發霉的蛋糕，不知道會發生什麼事。

b. 假設語氣的 if 子句中，若有過去完成式助動詞 had 出現時，可將其置於主詞前， 而將 if 省略，其句型為：Had + 主詞 + 過去分詞, 主詞 + would/might/could/should + have +過去分詞。
