五、V. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
It was the day of the big science fair. For weeks, Leo had worked on his model volcano. He was sure he would at least win a prize. However, when the judges announced the winners, his name wasn't called. Disappointment washed over him like a cold wave.
On the bus ride home, Leo sat alone, staring out the window. He felt his disappointment slowly turning into anger. "It's not fair! The judges liked Sarah's project more, but mine was better!" he thought. His negative thoughts were like a storm cloud growing bigger and darker in his mind. By the time he got home, he was in a terrible mood.
He slammed the front door and stormed up to his room. His mom, noticing his angry face, gently knocked on his door. "Leo? Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Everything is wrong!" he shouted. "I didn't win anything! My project was a complete failure!" He threw his backpack on the floor and felt like crying. He believed that all his hard work was for nothing.
Instead of telling him to calm down, his mom sat quietly next to him. After a moment, she said softly, "Leo, it's okay to feel upset. It's normal to be disappointed. But holding onto this anger is like drinking poison(毒药) and expecting the other person to get sick. It only hurts you."
Mum's words made him stop and think. She was right. His anger wasn't hurting the judges or Sarah; it was only making him miserable(痛苦的).
"First," his mom suggested, "take a deep breath. Then, let's try to look on the bright side. Did you enjoy building the volcano?"
Leo thought about it, "Well... yes. The explosion（爆炸）part was really cool."
"And did you learn something new?" she asked.
"I learned how baking soda and vinegar react," he admitted.
"So, was it really a 'complete failure'?" his mom asked with a smile.
Leo finally understood. He had let one problem—not winning—make him forget all the positive parts of his experience. He couldn't control the judges' decision, but he could control his own reaction. He decided to change his focus from winning to learning and having fun. The heavy feeling in his chest started to feel a little lighter.
