Lisa has always been overweight. She wanted to lose weight, not just because she wanted to _________ more beautiful and healthier, but also because it would make life easier. For example, it was _________ for Lisa to find ready-made clothes that would fit. She had to ask a tailor (裁缝) to make clothes that were large enough. At school, she needed a special chair which was bigger and _________ than the other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly. She was also unhappy about the way people _________ her sometimes. “People look at me and even make fun of me. That’s _________! It’s true that I’m overweight, but I don’t think people should treat me differently because I’m big. I can’t enjoy having dinner with my friends because I’m afraid of getting fatter.” Her friends and family _________ made fun of her. They tried to help her _________. They wanted her to be happy and healthy. Sometimes when Lisa was feeling sad, she didn’t want to speak to anyone.

But now things are quite different. Last month her classmates were preparing for the School _________ Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the proud Queen (女王) who was tall and fat. Lisa _________ it and practiced a lot.

Soon after the play, Lisa became the __________! She did so well that everybody remembered the proud Queen. They stood around her and said “Congratulations!” to her. She even won the School Best Actress Award for her wonderful performance.

Now Lisa doesn’t worry about being fat any more. She believes in the English saying “Every dog has its day.”
