　　真题品读
　　（北京高考）
　　I used to hate beingcalled uponin classmainlybecause I didn’t like attention drawn to
　　myself. And unless otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at
　　the back of the classroom.
　　All this changed after Ijoineda sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out
　　for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good
　　sense ofbalance, nor did I have the ability tokeep pace withthe others on the team and
　　they would tease me. But for the teacher who keptinsistingon my “going for it”, I wouldn’t
　　have decided to give a try.
　　Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started
　　attendingthe practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I
　　was doing. Sometimes I’d getconfusedand take a shot at the wrongdirection— which made
　　me feel really stupid.Fortunately, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to
　　focuson learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself
　　for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
　　I practised and practised. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team
　　was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of
　　confidence. With time, I learnt how to play and made friends in the process — friends who
　　respectedmy efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
　　With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I
　　have gone from “hiding” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to
　　myself, to raising my hand — even when I sometimes was not 100 percent sure I had the
　　right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
