Before, I thought I knew how to talk with people around me. But I still have a lot to learn. I learn this in my pottery class.
In class, the teacher asks us to make a flower with clay. I start happily. But Tony just plays with his clay. “Hey, we need to make a flower,” I say. He looks at me and says nothing. I'm afraid he can't finish it, so I make a flower for him. “Here,” I say. “You can use this one.” “Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouts. My face turns red. In the next class, I see him making a tiger. He sees me looking and says, “Are you going to tell me how to do this too?” I don't know what to say. I just want to be friendly, not rude. But Tony doesn't think so. I feel sad and want to cry.
Later, I learn what Tony is going through. I feel sorry for what I do to him. We don't always know what is happening in others' lives. So we should give others enough space when we get along with them.

【解析】
1. 第1题（细节理解题）：根据原文第一段“Before, I thought I knew how to talk with people around me. But I still have a lot to learn. I learn this in my pottery class.”可知，作者在陶艺课上学到如何更好地与他人交流，对应选项B。
2. 第2题（细节理解题）：根据原文第二段“In class, the teacher asks us to make a flower with clay.”可知，老师要求学生用黏土做花，对应选项C。
3. 第3题（词义猜测题）：结合上下文，作者之前的做法让Tony不满，后来作者了解到Tony的处境，“going through”在此处指生活中遇到的问题，对应选项C。
4. 第4题（情感变化题）：作者一开始“start happily”（开心），被Tony指责后感到“sad”（难过），最后了解情况后“feel sorry”（抱歉），情绪变化为Happy→sad→sorry，对应选项A。
5. 第5题（主旨大意题）：原文最后一段点明主旨“We don't always know what is happening in others' lives. So we should give others enough space when we get along with them.”，核心是“给他人足够空间”，对应选项B。
