“Well,” said Eliza, “I’d rather go with you and Mom.”

“We hope you can come with us, too.     2    we’re going to be so busy that you won’t have any fun. Last week, you mentioned a football camp and Cindy would attend it. Will you    3     her?” Dad asked.

“I know you may feel    6     to go to a new place and meet new people. But I think you’ll do fine,” he    7    . “And I’ve seen you play football. You are more talented than you think you are.”

Eliza thought for a moment. “If I can’t go with you, maybe the camp isn’t a bad     8  . Cindy is also going. At least I know her.”

When Eliza met Cindy at camp, they hugged and talked      9  .

On the second day, the team     12    more difficult skills. Eliza got surprised again by being the first to finish every task. In the following days, whenever her teammates got tired, she cheered      13   up. With Eliza’s help, everyone      14  quickly.

At the end of the camp, a shy girl named Annie came up to Eliza. “I just wanted to say thank you,” Annie said softly. “Your     15   made me feel much better and helped us all get better, too.”

Eliza couldn’t help laughing. “Oh, Annie,” she said, “I was probably even more nervous than you were!”
