Last week, our school had a basketball game against No. 5 Middle School. I was one of the players. At first, we played well and took the lead. 1, I made a big mistake in the last five minutes.

I felt very 2 and thought I had let my team down. I was too afraid to talk to my teammates. 3, my best friend Tom came to me and said, “Don’t be too hard on yourself. 4 you made a mistake, everyone knows you tried your best.” His words made me feel a little better.

Ⅴ. 阅读短文，选择正确答案。
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you.
Don't argue with your parents. Don't try to talk about anything with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think about your ideas if you shout at them. Stop talking and go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can't speak to them at the minute, try writing a letter to them.
Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a bicycle. She thought riding it would take Michael too much time. But Michael did like it. They argued over it. They understood each other after they had a conversation. At last they reached an agreement. Michael bought the bicycle, but only rode it on certain days.
It's also important to show your love and respect to your parents. Try to do some small things, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores and so on. Also, speak to them politely to show your respect.
These can help make your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It's worth having a try.
