Changing Makes You More ConfidentI used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always25 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this changed 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 26 idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the _27 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.When I first started 28 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rulesof the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get confused and take a shot at the wrong 29 —which made me feel really stupid. Fortunately, I w asn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 30_ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating（激励，动力）. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my improved self-confidence comes more 31 from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 32 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.25. A. hoped B. chose C. meant D. agreed26. A. good B. crazy C. common D. bright27. A. patience B. right C. chance D. ability28.
