There were eight members in the team, and our captain was Li Wei, a tall and careful boy. At first, things did not go well. In the first two matches, some team members only wanted to show off their own skills. They did not pass the ball to others, so we lost both games quickly. The whole team felt sad and worried. Our coach talked to us after the matches. “There is no ‘I’ in ‘team’,” he said. “You can only win if you work together.” The team decided to change. They started to practice passing the ball more, help each other in training, and talk about plans before each game. In the final match, we faced the strongest team in the city. At half time, we were still behind by ten points. But no one gave up. Li Wei encouraged everyone, and the team made every effort to run faster, pass better and defend together. In the last minute, one of our players passed the ball to another, who scored the winning goal! We won the game and the first prize. We learned that a great team is not about one great player—it’s about supporting each other and fighting together. Why did the basketball team lose the first two matches Because they did not practice hard. Because some members only cared about showing off themselves. Because the other teams were much stronger. Because their captain was not good enough. What did the coach tell the team They should give up the competition. They should practice more alone. There is no “I” in “team”—they need to work together. They should find better players. What happened in the final match The team lost again at last. The team was always in the lead. The team won with the help of teamwork. One player scored all the points alone. What is the main idea of this story How to play basketball well. The importance of teamwork in a team. How to become a good basketball captain. Why we should join sports teams. B Deep in the Amazon rainforest, there is a special team called the Rainforest Rescue Team. Their job is to protect the forest and save animals in danger. The team has scientists, local guides and young volunteers. Last month, a big fire broke out in the forest. Many animals lost their homes, and some were hurt. The rescue team quickly went to work. The scientists checked the condition of hurt animals. The local guides knew the forest well, so they led the way to find lost animals. The volunteers carried water and food for the team, and helped carry small animals to safe places. It was very hard work. The air was hot and smoky, and they had to walk for hours every day. Sometimes, team members were tired and wanted to rest, but they did not stop. They made every effort to save as many animals as possible. One volunteer even hurt his leg when carrying a baby monkey, but he still kept going. After two weeks, the fire was put out. Most of the hurt animals got better and went back to the forest.
