13.Several weeks ago,our headmaster,Mr.Gaudi,told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck-a game show which my best friend Carla and I (16)B love.Carla has a good imagination,and I know a lot of history,so we thought we'd be good (17)Afor the team.
A few days later,Mr.Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the (18)D.He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team.He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补)(19)A,four times that many students were at the meeting.So Mr.Gaudi said we would have a (20)Cand the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup.Everybody agreed that this was a (21)Cway to decide.
Yesterday,all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school.We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容).Mr.Gaudi acted as the host.After a few hours,all the (22)Aon the team were chosen except one.Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position.We had to hold a one-on-one competition (23)Cthe two of us.The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition,I was starting to pull ahead(领先).(24)CI saw the look on Carla's face.I waited for a second and knew what I had to do.As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck,Carla wanted (25)Beven more.So,starting with my next question,I held back and let Carla (26)D,just by a little bit.She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she (27)Bshe would be on the show.And since I will go as backup,I'll still have the fun of (28)Athe show up close.
Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could?I don't think so.No one noticed,and Carla and I didn't (29)Bit.It won't hurt the team (30)DCarla will be a very good competitor on the real show.I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

He was a little nervous,but the carpet (地毯) felt warm to (60)hispoor feet.He told Tina that his name was Guido.And he was (61)so poor that he had to go singing from house to house for some money to buy his dinner.
"My mama is away,and I am (62)havinga sad Christmas.But I'll try to make it nice
(63)foryou,"said Tina.They played games and Guido sang to her.Then they had a big dinner. Guido was very happy.
That night,Tina told her mother,"Now I know something.Whenever you (64)feelsad and lonely,find somebody (65)sadderand lonelier than yourself and cheer them up.It will make you feel all right."
