Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl.She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band.But one big problem lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves(神经).So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower.But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there’s no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble(气泡).This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备)and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild chlid.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut,and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment,and said:“If those old people next-door hadn’t mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened.”

How to Be an Effective Member of a Team
Working in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we’ve outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.
Communicate
1. Letting bad feelings brew(酝酿)will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group. Not only does it feel good to get the bad feelings out, but it will be better for the team in the long run.
2.
People in your group will lose respect for you if you’re constantly blaming others for not meeting deadlines. Group members understand if you have a heavy workload and aren’t able to meet a deadline. Saying something like, “I’m really sorry, but I’ll get it to you by the end of today.” will earn you a lot more respect than trying to make it seem like it’s everyone else’s fault that you missed your deadline.
Support group member’s ideas
If a teammate suggests something, always consider it! 3. And this makes you a good team member. After all, nobody likes a know-it-all.
Listen Actively
Look at the person who’s speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what’s said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you’re unclear about something that’s been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. 4..
Get Involved
Share suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice. 5..
A. Don’t Blame Others
B. Avoid showing off
C. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn’t be ignored.
D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done.
E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about it
F. And if you’ve helped them in the past, they’ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.
G. Considering the group’s ideas shows you’re interested in other people’s ideas, not just your own.
