I used to be strongly against telling lies. I can't stand (忍受) lies. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, a white lie changed my idea.

    Several days ago, I invited some friends {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(get) together at a bar to celebrate my birthday. They promised to meet {#blank#}3{#/blank#}at 5 p.m. When that day came, I got to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}bar early. To my disappointment (失 M), only one friend arrived by 4:50 p.m. Did they forget my birthday? I had to keep{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wait) for them. Most of them said that they were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the way while some said they were still at home. I realized that they wouldn't come on time. At 5 p.m., there {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) just three people with me. I sat on my chair {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (happy). How could they do this to me? They didn't care about me! I got so angry that I decided to leave. But just at that moment, a group of my {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (friend) came into the room with a big cake in their hands, singing "Happy birthday to you". I was so{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(surprise). Ever since then, I didn't hate telling white lies anymore.
