第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30分）

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 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 and not 100 percent ??55?? I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
