Bill's brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees(拼写比赛) ____2____：first the county spelling bee,then the state spelling bee,and finally the national spelling bee. “Your ____3____ please,Bill?” He looked back at Alexa,another competitor,sitting on her chair and waiting for another chance at winning. ____4____ he missed his word,she'd be back in the game. But this wasn't going to happen as Bill quickly got the right spelling.

She rolled(转动) her eyes. “You're a ____7____ winner.”
“What's wrong with celebrating my victory?”

“Don't be too proud. In two weeks,you'll be facing the best of the best in the county bee.”
“And they'll be up ____10____ me,the alpha-best.”

“I'm so sorry for my rudeness last time,” Bill said.
“It's OK. How was the county bee?”
