4. 【2011·北京豐臺高三統(tǒng)一練習】 ?完型填空

After winning a game, athletes are often asked how they achieved that success． Most say their __36__ is the result of hard practice．Usually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games．However, in my case, __37__ the big games can be even harder．

For me, last year' s basketball __38__ for my high school team was nothing short of an embarrassment．Although losing every game is certainly nothing to be __39__ of, that season had a bigger effect on me than any other, and probably __40__ than any season since．

As a team captain, I knew it might not be the __41__ year, but I didn't ever expect we would lose every game．Since six of our top players had graduated, we were a young team who would __42__．It began earlier than expected, though, __43__ two key members decided to quit after two weeks．At this point, dropping out probably passed through every player' s mind．Most people __44__ us a failure, but we never gave up on ourselves．Then it seemed that our own __45__ had given up on us．Personally, I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all．I thought, if __46__ the coach didn't believe in us, why should I? __47__ there came a time when it all began to feel hopeless．But just as my __48__ began to fade, a teammate called a meeting．He said, " Nobody thinks we' re going to win, and we may not, but, as teammates and friends, we should give it our all every game．"

It was that moment that __49__ me how to be a leader．It hit me that I didn’t __50__ the role．As a leader you can never __51__ on the team who looks up to you．It is one thing to be __52__ as the captain and feel great．It is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their __53__ all the time．

I __54__ the fact that my team lost every game last year．It may not help me to become a better basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader, and __55__．
