She thought I should join the field hockey team at high school to make my school life full. I wanted to play volleyball—I had played it for six years, and wasn't 3. But my mother said I was too short. She bought me a field hockey stick and 4 me on the field the night after my first day of high school. So I walked up to a group of girls who were talking and smiling on the field. I gathered all my courage to say 5 to them. Then we introduced ourselves. 6, all of them accepted me into their group. We continued talking until the coach showed up and asked me to practise with them. I tried to do well but it was so difficult! Being 7 at it, I almost wanted to give it up. But the girls kept me going. They were so easy to talk to. So I continued to learn to play it. 8, the real turning point was when my coach taught how to play it. It truly did 9. I found out the same strategies as soccer players used. I 10 the girl and tried to "jab（猛击）" at the ball, which was a field hockey technique.

Ⅵ. 阅读七选五 How to Make Friends 1______ Indeed， there are many things in life which we alone cannot perform. We need friends' help. Friends are people who are willing and readily help us when we are in trouble， and show sympathy（同情）for us when we are in misery（苦难）. 2______ For example， when we have passed the graduation examination and are looking for a job， we need experienced and reliable friends to guide us and help us on our way. A good friend is also an adviser because our own points of view towards things may not be always right. 3______ Of course， we can make friends everywhere. However， I think the best place is school， where we are among a big number of boys and girls of our own age， so it is easy to get to know one another in a short time. 4______ In order to make friends， we ourselves must be honest， noble-minded and kind-hearted to leave a favourable impression on others since other people observe us the same way as we do. At the same time， we should avoid bad friends， because they always do harm to us， and moreover， they are dangerous to the people around. What is even worse， they destroy our friendship with good friends. 5______ A. Indeed， looking for acquaintance（熟人）with bad friends would be a serious mistake. B. A faithful friend is hard to find. C. Therefore， it is necessary for us to seek advice from friends. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. E. Besides， we can also make friends among the people who work with us in the community. F. A proverb says， “One man is not good enough to live alone in the world.” G. The benefits of friendship are boundless（无限的）and sometimes invisible.
