Ⅴ. 完形填空
Sometimes friends hurt other friends' feelings without meaning to. If you are being joked about and feeling upset, just say something. And if you are among the ones doing the joking, make sure you pay attention to how your friend feels.
—A lesson from my experience

“Let me see ...” Then Jasmine started singing this song ending with “Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They called the 3 Mar-eye-aaa.”
“That’s so great!” said Ollie. “Mareya, how come you never told us you were the wind?”
“Hey, Mar-eye-a!” I 4, “Can you use your power to blow that soccer ball over here to me?”
“No!” said Jasmine. “Please use your strong power to 5 the ball in my direction!”
Then Ollie started singing quite loudly. “Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They called the wind Mar-eye-aaa.” His voice was so 6 that we couldn’t help laughing like crazy. 7, we paid no attention to Mareya.
A couple days later, when Ollie and I went 8 in the park, Mareya and Jasmine happened to be there, too. “Hey there, friends!” Jasmine called to 9. As we skated over to them, Ollie sang, “Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They called the wind Mar-eye-aaa!”
Jasmine and I laughed and began to sing along. Mareya’s smile 10 suddenly. “Can you please just stop?” She cried out angrily. Surprised, Ollie, Jasmine and I stopped.
“I couldn’t 11 why I felt so angry the other day,” Mareya said. “12 when it happened again just now, I got it. I can’t stand it!” Only then did we realize that we 13 her without meaning to. “We’re really 14! Could you please forgive us? And thanks for telling us your true feelings!”
