When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life．My spirit sank．Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself．There were some plex feelings in my minds．I was frightened, nervous and lonely．
To make matters worse, I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me than I could bear．As a result, I was always feeling down during class time．
My teacher found me spiritless．One day he asked me to e to his office and told me about his attitude towards life: we might suffer from mistakes, but it’s important to learn lessons from them．All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process．So keep up your spirit! At last, he added, “If you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!”
Warmth rushed through my soul．I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office．
With the teacher’s help, I eventually got over my depression．From then on, I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates．I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time．Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates．
Now faced with fierce petition, we all study hard because we know that every second counts．Moreover, there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us．I love my class; I love my classmates!
To be frank, I still have a thirst for my dream university, but I’m not afraid of failure because I can profit by it．With parents and teachers’ encouragement, I’m quite certain of my success and I’m sure I can fly high．

解析：本文叙述了作者由于没有考上大学去复课，心情很糟糕，被老师看在眼里，于是作者在老师的开导下，自己放开了思想，与同学的关系相处的好了，并且能够正确理解失败并能从中吸取经验教训。
【小题1】根据When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life 其他的同学都上大学了而作者却要复课，所以心情不好，故用Because he could not go to college.
【小题2】根据If you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!”可知老师想要作者保持乐观的态度，故用The teacher expected him to be optimistic.
【小题3】总结这段的段意可以找出本段的第一句是中心句，故用With the teacher’s help, he eventually got over his depression.
【小题4】根据I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time．可知作者被同学所接受，故用accepted/weled.
