When he stood up, his coat became tangled (纠缠)with his chair. After a few (minute), he began his speech, but he was so nervous he dropped his book. Many people thought he would run, but he went on.
Suddenly, people saw something (usual) running down from his nose, blood! He stopped （speak) when he saw the blood. But he still tried to finish his speech. Then Ben quietly moved to the front and handed him his handkerchief(手帕).Then he gave him a smile and (return) to his seat.

Answer 1

【答案】was invited；younger；will be；on；minutes；that；unusual；speaking；returned；with
【解析】本文叙述了有一天比尔被邀请去教堂做演讲，因为他不擅长在公共场合讲话，他很紧张，本就去安慰他,他顺利完成了演讲。
（1）句意：一天他被邀请去教堂做一次演讲。短语invite sb to do sth邀请某人去做某事。这里he与invite之间是被动关系。根据上文可知，句子应该用一般过去时。所以答案是：was invited。
（2）句意：他的弟弟本知道他好紧张，试图使他安静下来。这里指弟弟，年龄与自己相比所以用比较级。所以答案是：younger。
（3）句意：不用担心，一切都会好的。everything做主语，谓语动词用单数形式。根据这里是安慰人的话，这里叙述的是将来时，所以答案是：will be。（4）句意：当那天到来的时候，比尔的车在通往教堂的路上出了事故。短语：on the way to 在去某地的路上。所以答案是：on。
（5）句意：几分钟之后，他开始他的演讲。a few后跟可数名词的复数形式。所以答案是：minutes。
（6）句意：他如此地紧张以至于他把书掉在了地上。so+形容词+that+句子，如此……以至于所以答案是：that。
（7）句意：突然，人们看见一种不寻常的东西从鼻子上留下来，是血。空格前是不定代词，用形容词来修饰，根据句意用unusual不寻常的。所以答案是：unusual。
（8）句意：当他看见血的时候，他停止了演讲。短语stop doing sth停止正在做的事情。所以答案是：speaking。
（9）句意：然后本向他微笑，并回到了座位。and前的动词用的是gave是一般过去时，空格处应该用一般过去时。所以答案是：returned。
（10）句意：最后，比尔很自信地完成了自己的演讲。短语with confidence自信地。所以答案是：with。
