【解析】Betty是一个来自加拿大的女孩，她有两个好朋友David和Jenny。这篇短文中Betty给我们介绍了她的这两个好朋友的外貌、爱好等。

【1】根据短文开头I’m a girl from Canada.可知，Betty来自加拿大。be from和come from是同义短语，表示来自某地。这句话的主语是Betty，第三人称单数形式，故填comes from。

【2】根据短文中David is tall and quiet. But he said he used to be short and outgoing. He used to play basketball可知，David过去经常打篮球。used to过去常常做某事，后面跟动词原形。

【3】根据文意He used to play basketball. But now he likes playing soccer better可知，David过去很喜欢打篮球，但是他现在更喜欢踢足球。

【4】根据短文中In his free time he usually plays soccer with his friends可知，David经常在空闲时间和朋友们一起踢足球。in one’s free time是固定短语，在某人的业余时间。

【5】根据短文中She used to wear glasses. Instead, she wears contact lenses now.可知，Jenny过去戴眼镜，但是现在她戴隐形眼镜。instead of代替，而不是，后面跟名词或者动名词形式。
