Jimmy was overweight and loved ice cream. It was his favourite dessert(甜点). He 1 (allow) to have an ice cream each evening after dinner if he ate up his vegetables. He would like 2 (eat) ice cream at home because he didn't like to walk to the ice cream stand(货摊).
His mum was worried about his health. That night at supper, Jimmy ate up all his vegetables, but there was no ice cream. "I have already finished my vegetables," he said. However, Mum came up 3 a new idea. "If you want to eat ice cream, you'll have to get it by walking to the ice cream stand," she said. Jimmy had no 4 (choose) but to agree, so they decided to take a walk on Saturday. According to the map, the ice cream stand was a mile away. It was 5 sunny day. The sun was so bright that Jimmy could hardly open his eyes. He asked, "How much farther is it?" Mum checked the map on her phone and then said, "We're even halfway yet. Do you want to turn around?" Jimmy did want to turn around, but he also wanted ice cream. 6 (walk) was the only way to get it.
After a few minutes, Jimmy felt tired and had difficulty walking on. He wanted to sit down, but there were no chairs. He wanted to give up. He looked up to tell Mum he was ready to turn around. But 7 he did, he could see the violet flag at the top of the ice cream stand. They were almost there! Jimmy started to walk much 8 (fast). He finally could taste the cool, creamy ice cream. It was a long walk, but it was 9 (certain) worth the effort. "I have a sense of 10 (achieve)," Jimmy said excitedly.
