Mr. Garza and his fifth-grade students were exploring the importance of color in nature and in other places. “The color red can give you      ,” Mr. Garza explained. “Blue can be soothing(抚慰的).” He asked the students to     how the grey color of the classroom walls made them feel. They said they always felt that the color was boring and dull.
“Could we paint the classroom a different color?” one of the students asked. The other students nodded eagerly in agreement. Mr. Garza replied that they would have to ask the headmaster for permission. He assigned the students the task of meeting with the headmaster, in order that they could persuade(说服) him to     them to repaint the classroom.
The students were excited when the headmaster agreed. They discussed     colors for the classroom walls and finally decided on a soft yellow. The parents’ club donated the paint, rollers, brushes, and other equipment.
Painting day was on Saturday. The students, along with several parents, gathered together. First, they removed      from the classroom walls. Next, they moved all the furniture to the middle of the room. Then Mr. Garza explained how to deal with the painting. He told them to be careful and not to spill or waste the paint.
After the work was done, the students    their job. The new color brightened the classroom. The headmaster brought members of the school board to see the classroom. Before long, every classroom in the school had a fresh coat of paint.
