三、根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. At first, it was easy and I felt really happy, but a month later it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn't keep pace (节奏) with the other players.
Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practising while everyone else started to relax. I felt ashamed (羞愧的) as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of practising that I didn't care about doing it right.
"Are you giving up on me, Steve?" Angie asked.
"Yes, I am," I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room, and I cried out. Then Angie came in and said, "Don't be sad. I believe you can make it!" She told me not to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right — by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself.
With her comfort (安慰), I decided to go on practising. However, I still couldn't play very well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent more hours practising with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed wonderfully in an important show.
After that, I learned that although we each had our own task to do in a show, all of us needed to work together to make the show a success. I felt accepted and made great progress.
I love everyone in the band. I can't imagine what my school life will be like without them.
