It was thesummer before my third grade. Our girls' softball team was facing real pitchers(投球手)1thefirst time. Before that, we could just hit the ball on the tee (球座). When the coach started pitching, hitting became2forme. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emilylaughing at3. My face got hot and my throat feltlike it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to4playingsoftball.

    The nextafternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was5.She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and6myselfin bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine and just7toavoid softball.

    Soon Mumcame in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt8.I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and9Ireally did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled myteam T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to10forthe rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about11you'llcontinue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not12.She promised to practise with me.

    I got twohits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a13.Every week after that, I practised at home14I got to be one of thebest hitters on the team.

    That15taughtme that being afraid is part of life, and I can do whatever is expected of meif I keep working and practising.

Hey there! My name is Li Hua. 

 Have you experienced heavy rain or storms? What was the situation(情况) like? How did you feel?

 Once, there were two women who lived in the same village. They used to grow the same plants in their own gardens. One woman called Lisa was hard-working and took care of her plants every day. The other woman, named Rebecca, didn't do quite as much. She just let her plants grow however they wanted. 

 One evening, there was a big storm with heavy rain. The destruction(毁坏) of many plants was serious. 

 The next morning, when Lisa woke up, she found that all of her plants fell down to the ground because of the rain. However, when she got to Rebecca's garden, she saw that all of the plants were still standing in the garden. Rebecca's plants lived through the storm. 

 How did this happen? The plants of the relaxed woman learned to do things on their own from the very beginning. They grew deeper roots(根) and made places for themselves in the soil(土壤). They could stand up strong on their own, even during a storm. Lisa found out that since she did everything for her plants, they never learned to live through any difficulties. 

 It is the same for us. Sooner or later, you have to let go and become independent. If you just let others do everything for you, you' ll never learn to do things on your own.
