Section B (18 scores)
Directions : For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
I was eight years old then. Looking back I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just 36 . We shook their hands and said, “Good game!”
It is easy to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency to slap(拍) the hand----instead of shaking it ----and 37 the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was 38 . But during the “Good game” handshake after each 39 , I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn’t look my opponents(对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good 40 when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a hit on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; 41 I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents’ hands, not gibing them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I’m happy today as a(n) 42 that I have learned this lesson: There is something to be said for losing well.
43 it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can tell a lot about a person by how they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an 44 blow is not allowing the event to define(定义) him, while someone who cannot handle defeat is allowing the event to 45 his self-worth. In my opinion, when you lose in something---- though it may be 46 ----look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a friendly way as you say, “Good, game!” 47 to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.
