Patrick Dan was 12 years old when he decided to do something different. He thought it could be fun to raise worms (养虫). He wanted to sell the worms to 1 to help them improve their fields. He could also sell the worms to fishermen. Then he 2 to do that. In spring, Dan bought many worms. He put the worms in clean earth. He then put water and leaves there. When the worms got fat, Dan sold many of them. But one winter he did not put them in a warm place. The 3 weather killed all the worms.

The next spring, Dan did that again. He bought more worms. He tried his best to 4 them. Many people bought Dan's worms. When winter came, Dan took the worms inside so they would stay 5 .

However, one day, he suddenly got a(n) 6 . It was from the state of Chicago where he lived. It said, "Everyone who sells things has to 7 taxes (税)!" Dan made only 50 cents per day by selling worms, but he still had to give part of that money to the state. Dan told many people in his town what had happened. He told them about his 8 . Later some people showed a video of their talk with Dan online. In the video, they said that the law was not 9 .

"Act your age," said Aunt Augusta sharply(严厉地). Frances had been blowing bubbles(气泡) in her bedtime milk. But it seemed that Aunt Augusta was 1 anyway.

 Frances was quiet. She felt better when Aunt Augusta had 2 visiting them and gone home.

 The next day, Frances was playing ring-around-the-rosy with her five-year-old sister, Grace. Just then Frances's friend Julie 3 . "You'd Was Frances getting better act your age," said Julie. "What will our friends 4 ?"

 The next day was Saturday. Frances wasn't feeling as excited as she 5 did about going to Grandma's house for dinner 6 Aunt Augusta was invited as well.

 When they sat down to eat, Aunt Augusta started talking about her 7 with her next-door neighbor.

"... and yesterday I came home to find his dog burying(埋葬)a 8 right in the middle of my flower bed!" she said. "Do you know what I did next?"

9 answered her question, so she answered it herself. "After the little beast left, I dug up the bone, gift-wrapped(用礼品纸包装) it, and put it in that man's mailbox."

"Oh, for heaven's sake, Augusta," said Frances's mom. "You should learn to act your age."

 At the thought of 10 Aunt Augusta being told to act her age, Frances started to laugh. Then she started to sputter(喷). The more she tried to stop, the 11 she laughed and sputtered. Finally even Aunt Augusta managed a small. 12 and murmured(低语), "I guess I should."

 Grandma chuckled(轻声笑) and said, "That's the first time I' ve heard Frances laugh all evening. I'm glad she remembers 13 to smile."

 The next afternoon Frances was playing hopscotch(跳房子游戏) with Grace when Julie came over.

"Hopscotch?" asked Julie. "You 14 play a baby game like hopscotch?"

"Yes,I do, "said Frances firmly.

 There didn't seem to be anything left for Julie to say. For a while she watched Frances and Grace hopping and giggling(咯咯笑) and playing. Then 15 she asked, "May I play, too?"
