完形填空One day I was invited to Ben's house for dinner.
All the friends invited were a little 1 . Because Ben never spends more than he has to. So 2 did he invite us around for a meal? Had he bought anything 3 for us? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a clean 4 was waiting for us. We all sat down around the table and looked 5 at each other — what was he up to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. "It's a mixture of carrots, 6 and tomatoes, " said Ben. The next di sh was also a little strange 7 we didn't quite know what it was.
