How to Be a Good Sport(开朗的人)
Learning to lose without losing your cool is a skill, like learning to ride a bike.___小题1:___ and when you can handle losing; people will call you a good sport.
Why must we learn to lose gracefully(文雅地)?Here is the answer:
___小题2:___But any time two teams or kids are facing each other in a game or contest, someone will lose (unless it’s a tie平局).Kids lose in small ways, like in a game of checkers(西洋跳棋),but they also might face losing in bigger ways, like when their team loses a championship(锦标赛) game.
__小题3:____So it’s not surprising that kids don’t like it. Adults don’t like it either, but everyone can learn to control how they react to a loss. In other words, what should you do when you lose?
The most difficult thing is that sometimes you might react before you even realize it. For instance, your little league game comes to an end and, in a flash, the other team has won. __小题4:____Oh dear, you probably don’t want to be crying right now, even though it’s ok that you feel sad.
