Basketball is popular all over the world. But in Australia, people like to play netball(无挡板篮球), too. It is one of the most popular sports in Australia. The players are often girls. The sport is like basketball, but its rules are a little different. If a player gets the ball, she will only hold it for three seconds before shooting(投篮) or passing it to her teammates. There are seven players in each team. Each player has her own area to move in. 

Girls at my school love the sport. We often had netball games this term. Something happened this month touched me deeply. 

I was the defender(后卫). My job was to block the attacker(主攻手) from the other team. At the beginning, I wanted to win so much that I almost forgot my job. And it gave the other team a chance to get and pass the ball. During the break, our team leader gave me a serious talk, “If you really want to win, you should work with your teammates.” 

And I did. In the second half of the game, I always stood in front of the attacker from the other team to block her sight. As a result, she missed the best time to attack. Our teammates got great long shots in. The score was 143 in the end. We won! 

The game made me know the importance of teamwork and team spirit(精神). If everybody does what he or she likes and doesn't care about the whole team, the team will not work well.

A. Australian people don't like to play netball

B. She missed the chance to get the ball.

4.What did the writer learn from that game?

A. Pay full attention and do your job well.

B. Working as a team is important in games.

C. Don't be afraid to get hurt during a game.

D. Losing a game is not losing face.

5.In which part of a newspaper can we most probably read the passage?
