His parents, teachers, and many others, said he didn’t know how to lose, but the truth of it was that he couldn’t stand losing. It seemed to Pete that losing was the worst thing that could happen to anyone. If there was a game Pete wasn’t good at, he simply wouldn’t play it.A new kid, Albert, started at Pete’s school; he was a good table football player, and it didn’t take Pete and Albert long before they challenged each other to a game. Pete prepared for the match carefully, but Albert seemed not to be taking the thing at all seriously. He walked about the whole time, smiling and telling jokes about all kinds of things. But on the football table, Albert was a real player. He scored goals again and again, laughing and joking all the time. However, Albert was paying so little attention to the match that Pete managed to change the scoreboard(记分板)while his opponent was looking elsewhere, and so Pete managed to win by cheating(作弊). Pete made a big thing of his win, but it seemed not to matter to Albert.“It’s been fun. We should play again some other time”, said Albert.On that day, people at school talked about Pete’s great victory(胜利)。
