4．I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because．I didn't like attention drawn to myself．And （36）unless otherwise assigned （指定） a seat by the teacher．I always （37）chose to sit at the back of the classroom．
      All this （38）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 crazy（39）idea because I didn't have a good sense of balance nor did I have the（40）ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me．But for the teacher who kept insisting on my"（41）going 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）half of it．When I first startedattending（43）attending the practice sessions．I didn't even know the rules of the game much （44）less what I was doing．Sometimes I'd get （45）confused and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid．（46）Fortunately．I wasn't the only one"new"at the game，so I decided tofocus（47）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 （48）know"just yet"．

    With my （52）improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates．I have gone from"（53）hiding"in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself．（54）to raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn't 100percent （55）sure I had the right answer．Now I have more self-confidence in myself．
