achievement is the result of gruelling hard work and intense practice. Usually athletes say how hard it is
to win the big games. At the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the fact that losing the big game,
or, in my case, all the games, can be even tougher.
From the spectators"point of view, last year"s basketball season for my high school team was nothing
short of an embarrassment. And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a
bigger impact on me than any other, and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn"t be the easiest year, but did I ever think we would lose
every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a
young team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, though, as our team"s starting
center was suspended for the season, and two key members decided to quit after two weeks. At some
point, quitting probably passed through every player"s mind, but, in the end, we all stuck it out, vowing
to work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us. Personally, I felt like it was no
longer worth giving my all. I thought, if even the coach doesn"t believe in us, why should I? But just as my
hope began to fade, a teammate called a meeting. He said, "Nobody thinks we"re going to win, and
heck, we may not, but, as teammates and friends, we_owe_it_to_each_other_to give_it_our_all_every_
game. "
Sure, it was a little clich? (陈旧的), but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader. It hit
me then that I may have been a captain, but I, like others in my position, certainly didn"t deserve the role.
As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you. It is one thing to be named captain and
feel great and go through the motions, but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone
works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards. But in all
honesty, I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year. It may not help me to become a better
basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader and person.
B. Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them.
C. There were no actual leaders on the team.
D. Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.
B. make sure everyone goes all out
C. work hard to win the games
D. feel great about his team
that all of them should________.
B. try their best on the court
C. feel thankful for what they"ve done
D. get together to win every game
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. One can learn something from the failure.
D. A real leader should never give up.

suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a
number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the

cake went right through the window and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a
truck-driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and
hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument.
Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move

today people earn money to go to work. The difference between making money and going to work
suggested by this is important.
Would you give up your job if you had a lot of money? In a 2010 poll(民意测验) conducted by the
Gallup Organization, quite a few people conducted among said they would do so, but researchers find that work is one of life"s main satisfactions for many people.
Take Liu Yan, 23, a former teacher, for example, before she quit her job in 2010, she taught at a high
school. Although the salary was of the ordinary, she liked her job and worked so successfully that in only
one year"s time after her graduation from college. She not only won a prize for excellence in teaching, but
also enjoyed wide popularity among her students. In her second teaching year, however, she met a
millionaire and got married; and went to live in Hong Kong with her husband. There she led a very
comfortable and easy life, spending most of her days doing shopping and going traveling. After one year of endless vacation, though, she began to miss her work and asked for return to her teaching position. "I"m so tired of this kind of life," she explained in her letter to the school she had previously worked for, "that I miss more than ever the days with my students."

A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn"t talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was
never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were
shattered (破灭).But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.
After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to learn how to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live
independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but run.

pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary"s
College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day to
the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I
remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let them
know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.
