四、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)
Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice in Wonderland.
Avery really 36______ to be Alice and I was sure she could get the role. However, it turned out that I was picked to be Alice and Avery only got the part of the March Hare. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked. “Sorry, I’m busy this week,” said Avery, 37______ looking at me. “And I will be always busy.”
That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that 38______ about getting the lead role. They wondered what happened. “Well, Avery was not picked to be Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our 39______.”
My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a 40______ for you to be an extra-good friend.” “Dad’s right,” said my mother. “Sometimes 41______ our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind soon.”
Over the next week, I tried my best to give Avery some 42______. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great actor when acting as the March Hare.” I smiled. She seemed happy and explained how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She 43______ said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other.
I’ve learned that people often have a 44______ time dealing with envy and disappointment. If you have similar 45______, you could try taking my parents’ advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect time to be an extra-good friend.
