Shirley It was Friday, the thirty-first of May, and it was Shirley’s birthday, her twentieth birthday. Shirley could 32 ______ believe it, but it was true.

There was no one luckier than she was; Shirley believed that with all her 34 ______. Last night, over dinner, Alice and Victor praised her and were talking much about how proud they were of her and what she had become, and she had experienced an enormous rush of love and gratitude toward them. Her father had added that she had a wonderful life ahead of her, and she believed him. He always 35 ______ her the truth. Her dream of going to Cambridge had come true and for the past year she had been living her childhood dream, 36 ______ lectures. She 37 ______ every moment of living in that ancient city of shining spires, gracious quadrangles, and beautiful architecture.
