I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like others to notice me. And if I was not told to have a seat by the teacher, I always 35 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, and I didn’t have the 36 to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept insisting on(坚持) my “ 37 for it”, I decided to give a try.
Getting up the 38 to try was only the half of it! When I first started 39 the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction — which made me feel really silly. 40 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 41 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING 42 I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!
With more self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 43 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 44 raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
35. A. hoped B. agreed C. chose D. meant
36. A. duty B. patience C. chance D. ability
37. A. asking B. looking C. cheering D. going
38. A. strength B. courage C. stress D. knowledge
39. A. enjoying B. preparing C. attending D. watching
40. A. Interestingly B. Hopefully C. Exactly D. Luckily
41. A. steps B. orders C. rules D. games
42. A. so B. because C. though D. when
43. A. hiding B. playing C. relaxing D.

“One father is worth more than a hundred schoolmaster,” Britain poet George Herbert once said. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, agrees.
When he was a little kid, Gates was silent and hated to talk with others. He spent most of his time alone—reading books and thinking. To help his son, Gates’ father held family meetings and let him play simple games with family members. “These activities seemed silly but they improved my leading and working-together abilities,” Gates said later.

While mothers offer a more gentle kind of love, fathers teach qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure(冒险). Children learn these things from their fathers when they play sports or games together.
British scientists showed that children who grow up without their fathers may have many problems. They may not have enough courage for facing difficulties, may be shy and worried or may even commit crimes (犯罪).
A caring father can help children get along well with others. Fathers not only lead their children into social circles but also teach them how to behave and control their feelings. Moreover, fathers let you know who you are. They lead you to learn what you should be like as a girl or a boy.

Paul was a rich young man. When his father died, he left Paul a beautiful forest manor(庄园). Unluckily, before Paul could sell it for a lot of money, a lightening strike caused a fire that destroyed it. Watching the beautiful green trees turned into ash(灰烬)overnight, Paul felt his heart break.
In order to bring back the forest manor’s beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didn’t believe he’d pay it back. Then he felt too frustrated to eat or drink. So he hid in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and suggested he take a break outside.
Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first corner, he saw a store with a huge group of people. It turned out that the housewives were waiting in line to buy charcoal(煤炭)used for winter heating.
Then Paul’s eyes lit up. He ran home and paid some charcoal workers to change the forest’s burnt trees into charcoal.
As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it was sold out quickly. Soon, he sold more than 1,000 boxes of charcoal.

One day I went to a store with a list. “Excuse me,” I said. A lady with glasses looked up, saying, “I’m Miss Bee. Come closer and let me look at you. I want to be able to describe you to the police if something is missing from the store.”
“I’m only a little girl, not a thief !”I was surprised.
“But I think you’re potential (有可能的) ,”she said.
“I need these,”I said, holding up my list.
“So what? I am not a person who works for you. Go to get them.”she said.
The store was a puzzle to me. It took me two hours to find everything on the list. “That packet of beans is only 29 cents, but you asked me for 35 cents.” I corrected her. She didn’t seem unhappy, just looked at me over her glasses.
The following summer I visited Miss Bee some times a week. She always found ways to fool me. Or shortly after I remembered the places of something on the shelf, she arranged (重排) the shelves again and made me hunt for them again. By the end of the summer the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
One morning I was to get a packet of chocolate.“Miss Potential, what did you learn this summer?she said.“That you’re a meanie (刻薄鬼)!” I answered angrily. But she laughed, “Well, I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons to help them. When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! It was absurd.
Until one day my daughter said,“Could you finish my math problems for me?”“How will you ever learn to do it yourself if I do it for you?”I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store

Anger is a natural reaction(反应) which comes out when we feel that we have not been treated fairly. The good side of this negative emotion(负面情绪)is that it has helped us to shape and improve our manners. However it will become a problem if we can’t control it. For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health.
We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is out of control, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.
Anger makes us have a lot of negative thoughts. So we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this, you must say ‘No’ to all the negative thoughts in your mind first. This can be done with a lot of practice. When you are successful in that, you have to think only about positive things of life.
Meditation(冥想)is an excellent anger management way. What’s more, what we do is to keep ourselves from the outer world, and just care about the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that can cause anger.
Definition(定义)
Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when people 1 us unfairly.
