Ellie was an excellent gymnast (体操运动员). She could do the gymnastic moves (动作) very beautifully. But the problem was that she knew it.

The coach shook his head, said nothing and thought hard.

The next week, when the list of the team members was posted, Ellie’s name wasn’t on it. She turned to the _________ standing around her. “I’m better than all of you!” she shouted _________. “It’s unfair (不公平的)!”
She went to see the coach. He said, “You’re good at gymnastics, but your attitude (态度) is terrible.”
“What do you mean?” Ellie asked. “I know I am the best. Just look at my show!”
“Making the gymnastics team isn’t just about gymnastics,” the coach said. “It’s also about being on a team. You can’t make the team if you don’t notice how much everyone does for the _________, or encourage them to do it.”
Ellie did not think about what the coach said. She even hoped the team would _________ that year and then the coach would feel sorry for not choosing her.
But Ellie still practiced at the gym every day, carefully staying out of the team’s way. At first she felt very happy to see the girls on the team training with difficulty. But then she started to _________ them. One day, after watching Kim fall off the uneven parallel bars (高低杠) again and again, Ellie came to her, and told her what she should do. Kim accepted Ellie’s suggestion, and did much better. Ellie felt very _________. She didn’t notice the coach looking on from across the room.
Over the next few weeks, Ellie tried to help the other girls. The team _________ each time they had a match, and they even won once!
The following year, Ellie tried out for the gymnastics team again. This time, her name was on the list. She knew that her _________ of becoming a better team player was important for her success.
