Laura could barely sit still. It was a contest! She had to win.

Mrs Perkins held up a gold star badge (徽章). “The class leader will wear this badge ________ school hours.”

“This is a lot of responsibility,” Mrs Perkins said. “So I only want students to nominate (推荐) themselves ________ they truly feel they are up to the task.”

Laura was barely listening any more. She was picturing ________ wearing the gold badge. Chalk scraped on the blackboard and Laura turned to see Mrs Perkins writing a list of ________.

“Does anyone else wish to be nominated for class leader this month?” Mrs Perkins asked.

Laura scanned the names. Melissa was on it, too. Laura looked at her best friend sitting next to her.

“Good luck!” Melissa said. “I would love to choose the theme for the class project. I have a great idea for it.”

Laura ________ felt funny. Melissa didn’t just want to win, she wanted to help the class.

“Would anyone like to tell the class ________ they should be this month’s class leader?” Mrs Perkins asked.

Laura ________ her hand. “I think everyone should vote for Melissa. She has a great idea for the class project, and she always helps Mrs Perkins pass out papers. She’ll make a great class leader.”

Everyone ________.

“Thanks,” Melissa said. “But I thought you wanted to be the class leader.”

Laura shrugged (耸耸肩). “There’s always next month.”
