Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His o【小题1】 (对手) having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.

“Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler w【小题2】 (私语) while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a r【小题3】 (名声) of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the d【小题4】 (延误),” said Mr. Adler after what s【小题5】 (好像) like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the c【小题6】 (首都) city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled.

As he h【小题11】 (匆匆) past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware. He turned a corner and d【小题12】 (消失) out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector s【小题13】 (盯着看) wide-eyed at the envelope.

As soon as Hector had done it, he k【小题14】 (知道) it was the wrong choice. He’d c【小题15】 (作弊) and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I s【小题16】 (窃取) this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was t【小题17】 (完全) at a loss what to do.

Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room.

To his surprise, Mr Adler actually p【小题21】 (表扬) him for his integrity and wished him good l【小题22】 (运气) in the next day’s competition.

The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Besides being g【小题23】 (内疚的), Hector was puzzled at Mr. Adler’s reaction yesterday. But soon he felt relieved to find that the questions had been changed. He could i【小题24】 (想象) Mr. Adler working late last night to prepare the new questions, grateful from the bottom of his heart for what Mr. Adler had done for him. When it was his turn, he c【小题25】 (集中) his mind and answered all the questions correctly, becoming the final’s champion. The final gave Hector the sweet taste of victory again.
