A
The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid.It was Carlos.
"My, you're tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh.Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest.That would be the last straw.To my relief.Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it.I didn't know why I considered Reed my friend.Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.
"Take that seat," Mr.McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.
Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again.Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president."How come?" I kept asking myself."How come this shrimp (虾) who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn't seem to bother you — being short, I mean." He looked up at me."Of course I mind being short.But there isn't anything I can do about it.When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it.My motto is — don't be afraid to be yourself."

Just then his friend Ben came 3 He laughed when he saw Tom painting. “What’s the 4, Tom? Does your aunt want you to work on such a nice day?”
Tom did not 5 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see, painting is an 6 .First you must choose the right day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you must have the right 7. Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a boy in town 8 can paint this fence like me!”
Ben’s eyes opened wider. “Really, Tom? Let me try a 9.”
“Oh that isn’t possible ,” said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 10 she wants her fence painted.Remember, she chose me.”
“Come on, Tom, I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 11 “Your aunt will never know the 12!”
“Oh, you’re wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very good 13. And think how I would feel 14 all,” she asked me to paint her fence.
“You may have my whole apple,” Ben said.“Give me the paint brush now.”
“Well, if you really think you can do it—here, 15 the brush but be very careful the way you paint.” Tom took a 16 into the red apple.
Half an hour later, when his friend had painted four 17 of the fence, Tom said, “You’re doing it quite well, Ben, but of course you need to do much more 18 you can really call yourself a painter.”
As each hour passed, Tom’s painting became more complete. Each friend who happened to walk past took his 19 at painting a few boards — all for a price, of course. “You have to make them think it’s 20 wonderful,” thought Tom. “They’d never want to do it without paying for it.”
