I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because. I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned （指定） a seat by the teacher. I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested. I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it. When I first started 43 the practice sessions. I didn’t even know the rules of the game much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 . I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves” Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 53 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself. 54 raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself. 【題組】39. (A) idea (B) plan (C) belief (D) saying
