　　It was the one-and-a-half weeks since Sonya and I began our“silence marathon”.

　　Sonya had a huge effect on clothes my friends and I wore. We'd always have to __1__ with her to see how we looked. Her cruel words often __2__ all my self-confidence（自信心）for the day-- and then she would then tell me that she should be my __3__ consultant（顾问）.

　　Well, on this particular day I made one single, __4__ comment about her clothes,“I like those shoes, but they don't __5__ your sweater.”I said. Her eyes started to burn __6__ they were on fire.

　　After that, every time I walked past her, I could smell her perfume-- it was the __7__ I had given her for her birthday. It drove me mad, but I managed to __8__ my angry feelings towards her and kept walking on by.

　　I developed some very useful __9__ to make her think about me. One time __10__ still sticks in my mind. It was during the break and I was trying to ignore（忽略）my deskmate's bad __11__ when he told me about the onion chips he had for lunch. The story wasn't at all humorous __12__ I giggled（哈哈地笑）just so she could see me laughing.

　　Then, one maths lesson, the room was so __13__ I could hear my heart beating in my chest. And my nose __14__ the perfume again. I really don't __15__ feeling anything. I looked down at my hand and wondered why it was __16__. I looked up and she was sitting there, beautiful as ever.

　　I__17__ my courage to say“I'm sorry.”But all that came out was a trembling voice and something like,“Hi.”And I guess she was __18__ too, because when she said“Hi”back, it sounded just like __19__ And this was the start of our new fashion and feeling-conscious __20__.

–Whenever I get a blister somewhere on my body, I usually ______ it over and over until it breaks; let out the watery liquid inside and leave it dry by itself.

　 --It works sometimes but it might get infected easily. The normal _____ for it should be---Oh I don’t know.
