“Tali，Anna. You two make up a team to create a display and talk about the beetle (甲虫) project，” Ms Castle said in class.
Hearing this，Anna couldn't help thinking about the two things that made her 1. Tali was a know-it-all. Even worse than working with Tali was beetles.
The next morning，Tali showed Anna a picture. “Do you know this stag beetle?” Anna shook her head.
“I told Ms Castle we'd catch one and put it on display，” Tali said excitedly.
“What? You didn't even ask me! Shouldn't we make 2 together?” Anna felt her face get hot.
“I didn't think you would 3. You're not very good at science，” Tali said and just walked away.
Anna found Tali and explained，“I'm a little sad that you decided only by yourself. And I know a lot about science. I just don't like beetles crawling (爬) over my feet.”
“One way to solve your problem is to get used to beetles. I'll bring some 4 to help you prepare for this evening，” Tali replied.
“This evening?”
“That's 5 we will go beetle collecting for our project.”
Tali's advice worked. After looking at Tali's pictures，Anna was not that afraid. Walking with a flashlight (手电筒) in the park，Anna saw the most amazing beetle she had ever seen.
The next morning，after finishing the display，Anna invited Tali to prepare the talk.
“Um，I thought you could take that part，” Tali's face turned 6.
“7! We're partners，” said Anna.
“But I am afraid to speak in front of the class，” Tali said 8.
“Practising with a partner can help. Let's practise，” Anna shared what she'd learned.
The presentation day finally came. Tali could tell the class all the facts about the beetle，9 she still felt nervous. When she finished，the class all cheered.
“We might be different but I think we make a pretty good 10，” Anna said happily.
“Let's try out a new project：being friends，” Tali smiled back.
