I was just watching my little sister Lilly while Mum was busy on an important call. But Lilly wouldn’t stop crying.
At first, I tried to 1 with her favourite teddy bear, but she got bored after a while. Then, I advised reading a book, but she threw it across the room 2 I could even reach the middle.
I needed to calm her down right away. Looking around the room, I noticed the mini basketball hoop (篮筐) with two suction cups (吸盘). A(n) 3 went through my mind. I stuck it on my forehead (额头). It must look 4 because Lilly couldn’t stop laughing.
Feeling encouraged, I pulled the hoop off my head with a loud sound. POP! Lilly laughed, saying, “Do again!” We 5 this several times, and her laughter filled the room.
After a few rounds, Lilly 6 stopped and pointed at my forehead. “Circles!” she said. When I looked in the mirror (镜子), I saw two bright red, perfectly round circles on my forehead.
When Mum walked into the room, she was surprised. “What happened?” she asked. I 7 the situation. Though Mum tried to stay serious, I could tell she was trying to hold back a laugh.
The next morning, the red circles turned into dark purple marks, making me afraid of going to school. At lunchtime, my best friend Pete was 8 and asked about them.
“I stuck a basketball hoop on my head to make my sister laugh,” I said. To my surprise, my friends didn’t laugh at me. Instead, they started sharing their embarrassing (尴尬的) stories, turning my disaster into a moment of 9. I felt we were connected more with each other.
That day, I realized that sometimes the best way to deal with a disaster is to laugh it off and 10 it.

二、完形填空
先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
妈妈在忙一个重要的电话时，我正在照看我的小妹妹莉莉。但莉莉一直哭个不停。
一开始，我试着用她最喜欢的泰迪熊让她高兴起来，但过了一会儿她就觉得无聊了。然后，我提议读一本书，但我还没读到书的中间部分，她就把书扔到了房间的另一边。
我需要马上让她平静下来。环顾房间，我注意到了那个带有两个吸盘的迷你篮球筐。我脑海中闪过一个主意。我把它贴在了我的额头上。它看起来一定很滑稽，因为莉莉笑个不停。
受到鼓舞，我“砰”的一声把篮筐从头上扯了下来。莉莉笑着说：“再做一次！”我们重复了好几次，她的笑声充满了整个房间。
几轮之后，莉莉突然停下来，指着我的额头。“圆圈！”她说。当我照镜子时，我看到我的额头上有两个鲜红、完美的圆形印记。
妈妈走进房间时，她很惊讶。“发生什么事了？”她问。我解释了情况。尽管妈妈试图保持严肃，但我能看出她在强忍着笑。
第二天早上，那些红印变成了深紫色的痕迹，这让我害怕去上学。午餐时，我最好的朋友皮特很好奇，问起了这些痕迹。
“我把一个篮球筐贴在头上逗我妹妹笑。”我说。令我惊讶的是，我的朋友们并没有嘲笑我。相反，他们开始分享他们的尴尬故事，把我的“灾难”变成了一个充满温暖的时刻。我觉得我们彼此之间的联系更紧密了。
那天，我意识到有时候应对一场“灾难”的最好方法就是一笑置之并分享它。
