I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because 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
1 of the classroom.
All this 2 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 3 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 4 in keeping pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 5 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.
