I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And 1 assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always 2 to sit at the back of the classroom. All this 3 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 4 because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 5 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the teacher who kept insisting on my " 6 for it", I wouldn't have decided to give a try. Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7 of it! When I first started 8 the practice sessions (练习赛), I didn't 9 know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get 10 and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid. 1 , I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 2 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't 3 "just yet". I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 4 and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 5 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process (过程) - friends who respected my 6 to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun! With my 7 self-confidence comes more praise (赞扬) from teachers and classmates. I have gone from " 8 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19 raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent 20 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself. | ||||

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his oldest son 36 a severe stomachache and died suddenly. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, 37 him alone with his six-year- old younger son.

Al began to lose everything he possessed---his home, his land, his art objects, everything. 40 he died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Al’s death, I reacted with the same disdain(蔑视)the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing 41 _ left. “What a complete failure!” I thought. “What a totally 42__ life!”

I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free 45 of the love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come 46 somewhere.
I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to 47 an alcoholic. One day I get up my 48 to ask him. “I’m really puzzled by something,” I said. “I know your father was basically the only one to 49 you. 50 on earth did he do that you became such a special person?
Ernie sat _ 51 _ and thought for a few moments. Then he said, “From my _52 memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a __53 and said, “I love you, son.”
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to 54 Al as a failure. He had not left any material possession behind, 55 he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
