She saw Tom and his classmates playing basketball together 【小题6】. 【小题7】 Tom was hit by the ball six times, his classmates didn’t laugh at him. They all 【小题8】 him in this or that way. The boys said they loved to have a friend 【小题9】 Tom, because they would never forget any homework. Tom could help by repeating 【小题10】 the teacher said. Hearing this, Mary laughed. She didn’t have to worry about her son anymore!
