任务一 完形填空
In our class, we have a job wheel(转盘). Our teacher, Mr Jones, writes class jobs on the small inside circle(圆圈) and our 1 on the bigger outside circle. On the first day of each month, we use the wheel to get our jobs. This time, my 2 comes true! Michael, Isabel, and I get to take care of our class pet—a lizard named Larry.
We take turns doing different 3: giving him fresh water and food, cleaning his glass home, and singing to him. But one morning, Larry isn't there.
“I’m sure we close the box,” Michael says.
“Me too. How does he get 4?” I ask.
“Let’s find him now,” Isabel says.
We tell Mr Jones, and he asks the class to 5. “Let’s take a fifteen-minute break to search everywhere.”
Even with the whole class searching, we can’t find Larry.
What if he goes outside and gets lost? Or if someone finds him and doesn’t know how to take care of him? I am so 6 that I nearly can’t breathe(呼吸).
After school, Mr Jones lets us 7 late to search again.
“Let’s think like Larry,” Isabel has a good idea. “He must be hungry. Let’s leave 8 on his way home.”
“Good idea!” I add. “He loves our 9. Let’s sing ‘Come Back, Larry’!”
When we sing the word “sky”, Isabel looks up.
“Oh,” she says with a smile. “There he is! Larry is looking out from a vent(通风口) high on the wall.” Mr Jones 10 on a desk and reaches him easily.
Now we know Larry is safe, and so are our hearts.
