6.(2011·北京卷)完形填空

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And  36   otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always   37  to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this   38   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   because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the  40   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “  41  for  it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the   42  of it! When I first started  43   the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much   44  what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get   45   and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid.  46   , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to   47    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  “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the  49  and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive  50  in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the  51    - friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

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