Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  46 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  47 with me. This has made me  48 very carefully about myself, and now I  49  how silly I have been.
My poor  50 have come from my own  51 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  52  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   53  on the subject and I stop  54  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  55 , but I know that I must not  56 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard  57  the next few months, I am going to get  58 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  59 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I  60 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   61 _ I will control the time I   62 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  63 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  64 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  65 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

Justin has been missing for two weeks now. I miss him a lot.  61  I’m worried that something bad has happened to him. I’m sure he came home that night at around 11p.m. 62 我听见他放自己最喜欢的CD。I wonder where the aliens with large black eyes have taken him.

Mavis told me that creatures from outer space took her away a few years ago. They did some  research on her. 63  The whole experience was very frightening, just like a nightmare, but at least they returned her home. I hope they will return Justin soon.

64 警察没有取得多大进展。Now they are searching for other witnesses. They say Justin might have been murdered. Dad is very disappointed with them. He thinks they are not doing their job properly. Mum is really worried, too. She can’t sleep well.  65  I hope Justin will come home soon and tell us what happened to him. I want all of us to be together again.

 I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And    51    otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always    52    to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this    53    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    54    because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the    55   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “  56    for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the    57    of it! When I first

started    58    the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much    59   what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get    60    and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   61   , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to    62    on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I

didn’t    63    “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the    64    and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive    65    in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the    66    — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my    67    self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from   68   in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   69   raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent    70    I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
