Second, she said she liked history. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, she said she enjoyed chemistry. Meredith's eyes lit up with joy. Finally, she had found someone who had common interests as her.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}that day, Meredith found Josie on the playground and ran over to talk to her. They  immediately（立刻） became {#blank#}10{#/blank#}and start to play at each other's houses on the weekend.
