(2025·河南郑州·高三检测)Gina walked her way towards the school building. Her stomach fluttered (照动) with butterflies. It was not just any day. It was her first day in a new school in a new town, and the sense of starting over was enormous. She looked back to wave goodbye to her parents, who responded with thumbs-up and encouraging smiles. If they only knew how nervous she was.
Back in her old school, Gina had a solid circle of friends who had been with her since kindergarten. They had experienced countless adventures together, shared secrets, and supported each other through every challenge. Even when Gina got braces (牙套), her friends never made her feel embarrassed about it. However, all those comforting memories were now part of a closed chapter. As Gina stood before the impressive doors of her new school, she realized she was on the edge of a new chapter in her life.
Inside, the students in Gina's class seemed welcoming and friendly. They smiled and offered greetings, making an effort to include her. Despite their kindness, Gina found herself smiling less and less due to her lack of confidence in her appearance. She was constantly worried that she couldn't fit into the new group.
Now it was the gym class. The coach announced they would be playing volleyball.
"Gina," the coach called out, "you're playing libero (自由人) today, okay? The libero in volleyball is a player who specializes in defense and moves around the court quickly and freely to pass the ball.
"Sure thing!" Gina replied. She put on her sports shirt and took her position, focusing on the area near the back of the court. She scanned the court and looked over to the position where her teammate was preparing to serve (发球).

答案： As the volleyball game began，Gina felt her anxie-ty increase. Each time the ball came her way，her hands trembled a bit and her heart raced—not just from the game，but also from the fear of being judged by her teammates. Despite her efforts to concentrate，her first few passes were unsteady and she could sense some teammates’ looks of concern. However，the coach，noticing her discomfort，walked over and offered a reassuring smile. “Gina，it’s how you play the next ball that counts. You’ve got this!” His words，simple yet sin-cere，struck a note in Gina. She felt her doubts about fit-ting in start to melt away.
The game continued，and with the coach’s encour-agement ringing in her mind，Gina felt a newfound confidence. When the next serve came her way，she was ready. With a steady gaze and a determined leap，she perfectly received the ball，setting it up for a teammate’s successful hit. Her exploded in cheers，rushing to team-mates congratulate her. Gina realized that her fears were unfounded，as her teammates valued her for her spirit and skill，not her appearance. The match ended with smiles and laughter，and Gina felt a genuine sense of be-longing and joy among her new friends，truly part of the team now.
