I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most __ 1 __ and tiring games I've ever had. When Ed first phoned and __ 2 __ we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an __ 3 __ victory. After all, Ed's idea of __ 4 __ has always been nothing more __ 5 __ than lifting a fork to his mouth. __ 6 __ I can remember, Ed's been the least physically fit member in the family, and __ 7 __ proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned' out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often __ 8 __ about that, Ed refused to buy a __ 9 __ T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed __ 10 __ for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly __ 11 __ , I was so surprised that I was __ 12 __ . My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. __ 13 __ , at the point in our game when I'd have predicted (預計) the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was __ 14 __ 7 to 9 - and Ed was __ 15 __ . The sudden realization was painful. We __ 16 __ to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up, I was having serious __ 17 __ about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone __ 18 __ that many points. When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to __ 19 __ . In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but cousin Ed my __ 20 __. 1.
