I was just watching my little sister Lilly while Mom was busy on an important call. But somehow, the situation quickly turned into a total disaster.

At first, I tried to ____13____ Lilly with her favorite puzzle, but she got bored after a while. Then, I suggested reading her favorite book, but she threw it halfway across the room before we even reached the middle.

I needed to ____14____ her down, and fast. Looking around the room, I noticed the mini basketball hoop attached to my door with two suction cups (吸盘). Inspiration struck (猛地想到).

When Mom walked into the room later, she was shocked, trying to hold back a laugh. “What happened?” she asked. I explained the situation. Although Mom tried to stay serious, I could tell she found it funny.

By the next morning, the red circles had turned into dark purple marks, making me afraid of going to school. At lunch, my best friend Pete ____18____ them curiously.

Instead of hiding, I decided to tell the truth. “I stuck a basketball hoop on my head to make my sister laugh.” To my surprise, my friends didn’t laugh at me. Instead, they started sharing their own embarrassing stories, turning my disaster into a moment of ____19____.

That day, I realized that sometimes the best way to handle a disaster is to laugh it off and ____20____ it.

When she was just 10 years old, Angela entered her first piano competition. Each participant (参赛者) had to go up onstage one by one and perform their piece. At first Angela was excited. But when she was next up to play, doubts began to flood her mind.

“What if I played the wrong notes? What if I forgot the notes? What if I just messed up?” Angela remembered thinking.

As these worries raced through her mind, Angela watched another girl perform. The girl played beautifully.
