Three Ways to Be More Confident
You may have many fears when you want to do something．This not only limits your potential in life but it also minimizes your ability to make a positive impact on the world around you．
__小题1:_  One thing that will definitely help is working on your confidence．
Know your strengths and weaknesses．
As you learn who you are，you gain confidence and also learn your weaknesses．小题2:  For one thing，it can be hard to know which parts of you are you，and which parts are who you think you should be．A good start is to identify your strengths and weaknesses and then weigh those against what you enjoy．It might help to list five things you do well that you enjoy and five things you’d like to do well．Make an effort to use some of the first list and work on some of the second every day．
小题3:
Confidence comes not from knowing you know everything，but from knowing you can handle what comes up．No one in the world knows everything．小题4:  Don’t weigh your security against what you know or can do；weigh it against your willingness and capacity to learn．Don’t worry if you’re not sure of what you can do now—be sure to trust in your own potential．
Practice confidence．
It can be practiced－and with that practice you will get better．小题5:  A great opportunity to do this is when you meet new people．Just like if you were the new kid in school，they have no idea who you are－meaning you have an opportunity to show them．

A．Learn to receive praise．

B．Trust your capabilities．

C．Learning who you are doesn’t happen overnight．

D．There’s a lot that can help overcome those fears．

E．Everyone is good at some things and not so good at others．
F．Like anything else in life，your confidence will improve with practice．
G．Maybe sometimes you didn’t believe you could do most of the things you wanted to do．

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.
I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5, 2012, at 10: 31pm, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She would tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

An American novelist Jonathan Franzen tells readers that he appreciated real, printed newspapers more “as the Internet rose to power, disseminating information that could be trusted as little as it cost to read it.”
That’s   小题1: turn of phrase that we could apply to the discussion of Internet rumors(谣言)and their impact: this kind of information can   小题2:  (trust) as little as it costs to read it. That is, we can’t trust it at all. Franzen may be overstating the case to make a point. There are, after all, plenty of ways that the Internet has provided access to information that is trustworthy and accurate, not to mention helpful. The problem is    小题3: the Internet also has flooded our lives with less accurate and less trustworthy material.
　　“Digital literacy”is the name for this 21st century skill, and it is becoming as fundamentally important as literacy itself. So    小题4:  do we tell the real from the false?
　　Like anything, it takes practice at asking questions and, above all, paying attention to details    小题5:  (give) already. Who is the author? Do you know a real name or just a username(用户名)?Why    小题6:   you trust this person? Does he or she provide some credentials (证明)? There are big differences in the domains, and it is important to understand    小题7:  .
　　It was    小题8:   (easy) to tell a trustworthy source in the days before the Internet. Then, we all knew which newspapers had the highest standards and which ones were more for sensation and entertainment than for real news and commentary.
