I borrowed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} story book from the library the other day and took it home. One evening, having finished supper, I went back to my room and started to read the book that I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (borrow). I was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (absorb) that I knocked the coffee cup over {#blank#}4{#/blank#} accident, pouring the coffee onto the book. Wet through and colored brown, the book turned out to be a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (terribly) mess at once. Of course, I couldn't return the dirty book and the loss should be covered. The next day, I went to the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big) bookstore in my city, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} there were various kinds of books. I finally found several {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (copy) of the same book and bought {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .

    Club sports — for those just like sports

    Many colleges have established many club sports, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to meet a special interest or fill a gap {#blank#}2{#/blank#} an intercollegiate(校际的) team is not available. Some of sports, like fencing, crew and rugby, are sometimes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (compete) for club members. They are often played with other colleges and sometimes with community groups. These clubs give you the opportunity {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) a sport you love or learn a sport that is new to you. The one drawback(缺点) to club sports is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} colleges often don't fund(提供资金) them. In these cases, club members have to work hard to organize fund-raisers and collect money to keep their sports {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go).

    Club sports are less time-consuming {#blank#}7{#/blank#} other athletic items, and you can easily miss a practice or even a competition if your academic or work commitments are {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) demanding at a certain point. You can also leave a club sport if you find it just isn't working out. However, it's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (worthy) it to stick with a club sport for a while.

    Most colleges have a full range of teams, so you can attend sports competitions year-round. At bigger schools, larger sports, like football and basketball, may attract fans from all over the area. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(small) sports, however, will also attract a group of fans.
