In many classrooms, it's not  16  to find students spinning (???) their pens  17  they listen to their teachers.

     Pen-spinning is also popular  18  Japanese students. It is a form of entertainment. Recently, a pen-spinning competition was held in Tokyo, Japan. Ryuki Omura, a 16-year-old high school student, became the first pen-spinning   19  .

     276 people took part in the competition. The came from different age groups. Some were students   20   some were office workers. First, they   21   the videos of their pen-spinning skills to the organizer's website. Then some of them came to the last round in Tokyo. 22   of them had 30 seconds to show their skills in front of 400 people,   23  reporters and fans. Omura took a pen from his little finger to the rest fingers, then to his palm(????) and the back of his hand. His wonderful show made him   24   the champion.

    Omura said he began learning pen-spinning only about 14 months ago. He did  25 in the competition. If you like to spin your pen, you can practice it in your spare time. But when you are in the class, please don't do that.

The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is   16   there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about   17  .

    Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it.   18   a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are   19   tickets that will let them see a   20   game for free.

   “Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(產(chǎn)品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price.   21   all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy   22  . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some   23   TV sets from the factory.

    “Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of   24   an invitation, but for a later time.

    You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?”   25   you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.
