Here's a short story to read... but u have to fill in some blanks.. :

The teacher she liked best was Mr. Bedlow, in biology. He sat on one ______ of his desk, one foot in his brown loafer swinging back and forth _________ his tan Dockers. And as the class quieted down, he began talking ______ , so softly that everyone had to _____ to hear.

“People ask me sometimes,” he began, “why I teach biology. It all boils down to one ______ fact, I think: All life on earth is produced by other _________ life. The cells of your body go back to the very first life on Earth. Think about that, class….”

_________ to Chrissa the class did understand. Seemed to, anyway, for silence was all ______ her.

“For this semester and next,” Mr. Bedlow went on, “we’ll be studying the human body, what it _______ to be alive, the differences between living and nonliving things, between plant and animal cells, and the place of human beings in nature. Because we’re all tied _______. Think about this: The latest theory is that before the big bang, the universe – the whole universe, class – was ________ into a space smaller than a single atomic particle.”

Chrissa tried to ________ it – herself, one with the rivers, the rocks, the sun, the rain.

Yes! She thought. I’m going to like this class!
