新外研必修三 Unit 1 Knowing me, knowing you Understanding ideas Absolute agony! Dear Agony Aunt, I’m in _____ total mess here — hope you can help me out! I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy _____ basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably _____ I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, _____ it was like he wasn’t even on the court! _____ (disappoint) by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting _____ steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else _____ I’d said. This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry _____ my friend — what should I say to him And should I say anything at all to my teammate Embarrassed and _____ (shame), I can’t concentrate _____ anything. Please help! Ben Dear Ben, There is _____ old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people _____ you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble. The situation here is so much _____ (bad) because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. _____ (treat) this way, you’re sure _____ (feel) hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest _____ us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t. But I have to say that it’s _____ (part) your fault, isn’t it You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, _____ we should always think before we speak. Here’s what you need to do. First, _____ (apology) 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 _____ (communicate) with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. 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 _____ (great) things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him _____ repeating what you said and making the situation _____ (bad), but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon _____ (repair). Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you tend _____ (say) whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns _____ a professional way with your team coach. If you think about other _____ (people) feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out. Good luck!
