“HICCUP!” A loud hiccup（打嗝）flew out of my mouth. I just finished my sweet dish when it all began. It was     1     by another one, then another.
My friend Sam turned to look at me with     2    . He thought for a while and then gave advice. “    3     this, Charlie,” he said. “Block your ears and swallow（吞咽） three times. My grandma says that stops the hiccups.”
I tried it. About 30 seconds passed with no hiccups! But then     4     started up again.
At break I hiccuped while playing basketball. Just as I was getting ready to shoot the ball, Sam came    5    behind me.
“Boo!” he shouted.
I was scared and dropped the ball. “    6     did you do that?” I asked.
“I’ve heard that a bad     7     will stop the hiccups,” Sam explained. “But you’re still hiccuping, so I guess it didn’t     8     .”
Next, our class visited the school     9    . Sam and I looked at a book of world records.
“    10     this!” Sam read aloud. “In 1922 a farmer got the hiccups and they lasted 65 years!”
“That’s too bad,” I said     11     between hiccups.
I was getting embarrassed. It was time to go to the nurse.
“Hiccups happen because of a muscle（肌肉） in your chest,” the nurse explained. “It helps you breathe. But     12     it may make you take in air too quickly. That’s a hiccup. The     13     news is that hiccups usually go away on their own.”
“Not these hiccups,” I told the nurse. “They’re going to last for 65 years!”
I stopped talking     14     the nurse could hear the hiccups. A minute passed. No hiccups. My     15     hiccups were finally gone!
“Thanks!” I exclaimed.
“Don’t mention it, Charlie,” the nurse said. “It was nothing!”
