Bob was only seven years old. One night Bob was at home {#blank#}1{#/blank#} while his parents were out for a party. He had often stayed alone before, so he wasn't afraid. As he waited for his parents to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} by.

      Suddenly Bob's eyes opened wide-what was the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the next room? Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that he could not move, and his body felt like ice. He knew that he couldn't lose his head (惊慌失措) and began to think of the things he could do. Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the window.

      Bob's drums were standing in the corner near the TV. "Wait, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} there is something I can do," thought Bob. He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} on his drums as hard as he could. The sound was so terrible that Bob {#blank#}9{#/blank#} even himself. He also surprised the man in the window, who {#blank#}10{#/blank#} away as fast as possible. How clever he was!
