阅读下面短文，根据短文后的要求答题。
Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure. This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Edison failed 1,600 times before he invented the light bulb(灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 1,600 times but had learned 1,600 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful(丢脸的). We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we'll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.

An Unforgettable Experience
Looking back on the last term，everyone had some unforgettable experiences.
Once on a rainy day，I suddenly fell down and I hurt my leg. So I had to stay in the hospital for over one month. Soon my classmate Li Hua came to see me. She decided to help me with my study. From then on，she came to teach me every weekend. I was so moved. I didn't fall behind the other students with Li Hua's help. I thanked her a lot.
Now I know that no matter what happens，true friends will always be there. When friends are in trouble，we should help them.
