题目内容

I was in the store with Mom and baby Lucy. I was looking at the pictures in a pattern(图案) book, trying to choose what to wear for Halloween.

I wanted to be a princess(公主) but I didn’t get a chance to ask Mom to help me find that page. She was busy. All the women were around Lucy’s pushchair. Mom wasn’t even looking at me. Then Lucy cried(哭) and Mom asked me, “Mary, do you make up your mind?”

I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume(服装). I pointed at the “banana”. Mom bought me the banana pattern and a pea-pod pattern for Lucy. When Mom finished making my costume, I knew I had made a mistake. “If I wear the big banana costume to the Halloween party, everyone will laugh at me,” I thought.

When we finally walked to the party, everyone smiled at cute baby Lucy who was on my mother’s back. And when they saw my costume, they smiled, too. Some of them told me I was cute. I guessed people liked bananas. I learned that it didn’t make me upset when people laughed. They thought I was funny in a good way. And guess what! There were three princesses and I was the only “banana” at the party.

Winners Are Made, Not Born

It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the ______ team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to ______ the game.
