One summer night, I was at a bowling alley(保龄球馆)celebrating a friend’s birthday. Two of the friends 41 brought their daughter, Bridget. Like most eight-year-olds, the girl was 42 about the game, so her parents set her up with a light bowling ball. The first game, Bridget scored a five which is as 43 as it sounds. What was a 44 , however, was her 45 toward it. She didn’t scream or cry. She gave a shrug(耸肩), and that was it. “Don’t worry, Bridget,” her parents 46 her. “You can play again next time!” Yes, she could play again next time, because the 47 thing about bowling is that there are multiple games, and you have multiple chances to 48 a low score. And she did 49 again. The scond game finally 50 with a score of 45. “Yeah!” She screamed and her 51 were so proud. I was proud of her too, proud of her for handling a situation in a much more 52 way than I ever could. This little eight-year-old girl knew a 53 about life that I didn’t learn until my late 20s: Our failures, especially ones as 54 as getting a low score in a bowling game, aren’t tied to our self-worth. She knew that her low score had 55 to do with her identity as a person, her skills or intelligence. More importantly, she knew it was 56 a bowling game. Isn’t learning how to 57 one of the best gifts you can give a child? 58 , watching someone deal with failure in a healthy and graceful way is a pretty great 59 , too. So thank Bridget for giving me one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. And it wasn’t even my 60 . 41. A. training B. competing C. attending D. watching 42.
