Absolute agony!
第一遍：词汇短语过关斩将
Absolute agony! Dear Agony Aunt, I’m in a total mess here—hope you can h ___1___ (帮我一把)! I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I am c___2__（痴迷于） basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were l___3___ (拖累) by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a k___4___ (关键的) player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his b___5___ (行为), I said all this to my best friend. I was just l___6__ (发泄怒火) really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said. This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend—what should I say to him And should I say anything at all to my teammate (队友) Embarrassed and a___7___ (羞愧的), I can’t concentrate on anything. Please help! Ben Dear Ben, There is an old American saying, “l___8___. (口风不紧船舰沉)” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble. The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt—we should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t. But I have to say that it’s partly your f ___9___, isn’t it You a___10___ (承认) that you were “.letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak. Here’s what you need to do. First,a ___11___（道歉) to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and I’m sure you do!), you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving c ___12___ (矛盾). So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your s___13___ (策略) is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired. Thirdly, and perhaps m___14___(最重要的), think about your own behavior. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you t___15___ (倾向于) say whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal (信号). T___16___ (深呼吸), calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t p___17___ (尽职尽责), then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach. If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you'll soon find everything w___18___ (解决). Good luck! Agony Aunt
