One day, a professor (教授) entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.

At the end of the class, the professor ___4___ all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students.

Our life is a ___9___ given to us with love and care and we always have reasons to celebrate: nature renewing itself every day, good friends around us and the miracles (奇迹) we see every day.
___10___ we keep focusing only on the dark dots: the health problems that trouble us, the lack of money, the ___11___ relationship with colleagues (同事), the disappointment with a friend, and etc.

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 ___1___ 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 ___2___ 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 “___3___ for it”, I decided to give a try.
Getting up the ___4___ to try was only the half of it! When I first started ___5___ 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. ___6___, 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 on ___7___ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING ___8___ 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 “ ___9___ ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, ___10___ raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
