    I joined a band (乐队) as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum and meeting new friends. At first it was easy, but a month later, it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn't keep pace (节奏) with the other players.

    Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed (羞愧的) as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I didn't care about doing it right.

    "Are you giving up on me. Steve?" Angie asked.

    "Yes, I am," I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said. "Don't be sad. I believe you can make it!" She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself.

    With her comfort, I decided to go on practicing. However, I still couldn't play well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent about three more hours practicing with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed wonderfully in an important show.

    In the whole process, I was taught that although we each had our own job to do in a show, it would take all of us working together to make the show great. I felt accepted and made great progress. I love everyone in the band. I can't imagine what my school life would be like without them.

      A . funny B . helpful C . noisy D . difficult
