Rose is one of the funniest girls in her class. She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} like a boy, and she is good at performing. So she {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to play Harry Potter by her classmates last week. She said happily, " I'm sure that I am able to do the job well because I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the book many times already."

    Dick, one of Rose's best classmates, is also an actor in the play. He likes to perform the play with Rose. He said, "We are confident that we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} well in our school art festival next week."

    Everyone in the school is looking forward to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their performance.

    Many years ago, there was a family named Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706 another baby was born. The boy's mother and her husband gave the boy a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} —Benjamin. Benjamin was the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents sent him to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. At school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at math. He read all of his father's {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. And when he had money, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} went to buy books. He liked books. They told him {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ways to help people enjoy life more. For example, he tried to know if there was some way to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} farther, maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes, or paddles, grew in his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. The paddles must be neither too{#blank#}10{#/blank#} nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor too light. At last he invented the paddle for swimming.
