五、完形填空
Every summer, our swim team runs a snack shop to raise money for competitions. Last month, Coach Abby said it would be closed for repairs. That meant no more 1 for us!
I asked, “Will our 2 be cancelled(取消)?”
“We’ll still practise, but the competitions remain uncertain,” Coach Abby smiled. But we could tell she was 3.
During the practice, 4 was quiet. When having a rest, Noah broke the silence. “No funds (资金), no competitions! Let’s hold a fundraiser(捐款活动) to 5 it.”
“I agree,” said Ruby. “My brother’s club usually holds charity concerts.”
“My school always has a theme(主题) party,” Mandy added.
“Let’s also have a great one about 6,” I suggested. “Everything there can be about swimming!” Everyone wanted to try, 7 we knew having such a party was hard. Also, we all offered many ideas. That was 8 our pool party was born.
Over the next week, we tried to get everything ready. I baked fish-shaped cookies for the food stand(摊位). Mandy designed water games. Others were busy 9 the party news by telling it to everyone they met.
On the big day, with a clear sky, the party started perfectly. It was full of guests laughing and playing. 10, dark clouds gathered and rain poured down so quickly that we all got wet. Everyone 11 our team members was shocked.
“Plan B! Now!” Noah shouted. Hearing this, Ruby pulled out a large 12. From it, Mandy and I took out a large umbrella to create dry areas and hot chocolate for sale. The warm drink soon became the most 13 choice, “What’s the story behind the box?” Coach Abby was curious.
“We noticed dark clouds early this morning,” I smiled. “Noah reminded us: Hope for the best but 14 for the worst. Therefore, we made plan B.”
Luckily, the rain stopped and the party ended successfully. Coach Abby shouted, “We’ve got enough money! It’s your 15 that makes the dream work!” Hearing this, we smiled and cheered together!
