Amy is a 15-year-old girl. When she was young,she was always wasting___1___ getting prepared to do her tasks, instead of doing them at once.

One morning,  Amy was playing in the village and met Mr Thornton. Mr Thornton had a ___2___ where he sold fruits of all kinds. He said to Amy, “Well , Amy, I ___3___ some fine ripe (成熟的) strawberries on Mr Green’s farm today. He said that anybody was welcome to pick them. I will ___4___ 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.” Amy was ___5___ about the thought of making some money to help her mom. So she quickly ran home to get a basket to hold the strawberries.

When she got back home, she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five kilograms. ___6___ she found out that she would get 65 cents, she started to dream big, “If I pick twelve kilograms, how much should I make then?” “ Dear me!” she ___7___ happily, after thinking for a while, “I can make a dollar and fifty-six cents!” It took her some time to dream ___8___ . And then it was so near lunchtime that she had to stay at home until the afternoon.

  As soon as lunch was over, she took her basket and hurried to the farm. She could not find half a kilogram to ___9___ her basket because some boys had been there before lunch, and all the ripe strawberries were picked. Then she ___10___ what her teacher often told her: “ Do your task at once;then think about it. One doer is worth 100 dreamers.”
