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 love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good 17 for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 18 . 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 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 20 and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 21 way 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 on 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 the 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 I 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 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 26 , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she 27 she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of 28 the 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 it. It won’t hurt the team 30 Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my to go to Europe
