This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my 31 , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready, 32 ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly. 33 in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way 34 school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying 35 to all her students as she did every morning.
“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked 36 the classroom.
“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my 37 . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show 38 ? Oh, no!”
I got up slowly, 39 the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was 40 , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.
She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his 41 ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam, 42 did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I 43 about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked 44 the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was 45 .
In fact, I can do better than I think I can— if I try! I am proud of myself.

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people -- all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars (伤痕).
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals that fix memories in the brain (大脑). So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of discussion. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can destroy people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare (噩梦). They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
