Every October, my neighbourhood has a Halloween costume contest (万圣节服装比赛). This year, when my neighbour Ollie and I raced to the notice board to find out the theme(主题), we found that the theme was kind of, well, themeless.
“‘Be ____15____’” I said, reading the notice board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?”
Ollie got off his skateboard to get a closer look.“You’re right,” he agreed.
“Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I said. “Maybe, since we don’t know exactly what we want to be, we should start by choosing cool costume-making ____16____.”
“I’ve got it.” Ollie said, picking up some leaves.
“Really?” I said. “You’re going to make a costume out of leaves?”
“Why not?” he said and ____17____ up some more leaves. “They’re totally free, and I think that no one will be a tree as great as me.”
“Don’t you mean, as great as we?” I laughed, ____18____ him in collecting those colorful autumn leaves.
It took us hours to get ready the next morning. When it was time for us to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty ____19____. However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling.
As I was standing there in the costume, the feeling got ____20____ until I was so uncomfortable, I just had to scratch (挠). When I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the ____21____ thing “This is the worst.” he said as he moved his body. “I feel like I’m ____22____ with a million mosquito (蚊子) bites.” “Me too,” I said back. “I have to get out of this costume now.”
