I 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 always chose to sit at the 1  of the classroom.

All this 2 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 3  because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the  4 in keeping pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “  5  for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the   6  of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much   7 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get   8  and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.  9 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 10 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 rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and 11 . Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of  12 . With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process. I never had so much fun!

With my  13  self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from " 14  " 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 15  I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

  Pineapple Awards Celebrate Fruits of Science

  We live in a world of wonder but not in a world of magic.And understanding that world does not mean learning a few tricks at Hogwarts.Instead, it means understanding how important science is in our daily lives.

  Just take a moment and look around your home.The electric lamp on your desk, the silicon microchip in your mobile phone, your mother's laundry detergent; they are all the results of science.

  To get people more aware of these wonders that surround us, guokr.com, a science website, and Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Museum have established the “Pineapple Science Awards.” The awards are to be given annually and recognize recent achievements in chemistry, physics, medicine and biology, mathematics and psychology.There are also two special awards for discoveries that are imaginative, fun and thought-provoking.

  Zhou Xinyue's research certainly met those criteria.The Sun Yat-Sen University professor was among the first group of Pineapple winners.She conducted an experiment that showed that counting money can ease pain.Professor Zhou had people count money and then dipped their hands into hot water.It turns out that after flipping through a brick of RMB, people can keep their hands in hot water for a longer time.I suppose this proves that although money can't buy you happiness, it can certainly make your life less painful.

  If that sounds a bit frivolous, it's all in keeping with the spirit of the awards.They are intended to be light-hearted.That is why the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol.Ji Shisan, the founder of guokr.com, said, “This nutritive fruit has a bright color and pleasing taste while shaped in a strange way, which indicates the awards are pleasing, interesting, nourishing, and a bit strange.”

  Pineapple winner Zhou Xinyue added, “Some research topics seem to be weird but actually have deep meaning, which inspires us in a different way.The topics might be funny, but the research method should be serious and scientific.”

  Are you interested in science? Then reach for the sky.You might end up with a pineapple in your hands.

Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

  Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market.The question is:Is economic globalization   1   for all?

  According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce   2   in a large number of developing countries.It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   3   to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration(融合)of local economies into the world economy.Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes   4   at an average rate of five percent-compared to two percent in developed countries.

  Those who   5   globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.  6   , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   7   open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.

  Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually   8   the gap between the rich and poor.A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually   9   from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.  10   , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses.For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to   11   their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of   12  .When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to   13   and will be crowded out.

  One thing is certain about globalization-there is no   14  .Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world.The   15   now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.(347 words)
