“My dad didn’t _________ a dog, so I had to do something super hard to get one,” she said. “I offered him a _________. I’d quit sugar for a year, and he would reward(奖赏) my strong will with the _________ of my dreams.”

“I accepted the deal, but I thought, ‘Oh, she’ll never _________ it,’” Jenna’s dad said.

By the time she got home, she’d almost decided to give up the deal.

“The first night, I thought, ‘It’s _________ for me to do this. Tomorrow I’m probably going to _________ ,’” she said. “But then the next day, I decided, ‘I’ll just try it _________ today.’ And then that kept repeating over and over until I decided, ‘OK, I’m going to do it.’”

When the class had doughnut (甜甜圈) day, Jenna __________ her sugar-free biscuits. Her friends __________ she could eat some sugar at school and her parents would never __________. But Jenna said she didn’t even __________ it.

“That wouldn’t be fair,” she said. Instead, she __________ her new way of living so completely that she has no plans to give it up—even though she now __________ the dog she’s always wanted.
