assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always 2 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 3 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 4 because I didn"t have a good sense of balance, nor
did I have the 5 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the
teacher who kept insisting on my " 6 for it", I wouldn"t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7 of it! When I first started 8 the
practice sessions (练习赛), I didn"t 9 know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing.
Sometimes I"d get 10 and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid. 1 ,
I wasn"t the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 2 on learning the game, do my best at each
practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn"t 3 "just yet".
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 4 and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
motivating. Very soon the competitive 5 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I
learned how to play and made friends in the process (过程) - friends who respected my 6 to work
hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 7 self-confidence comes more praise (赞扬) from teachers and classmates. I have gone
from " 8 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19 raising my
hand-even when I sometimes wasn"t and not 100 percent 20 I had the right answer. Now I have more
self-confidence in myself.

| For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people"s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed. "I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, it"s easy to take people in," he said. One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her. "He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection," she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn"t think there was anything wrong. "I would never have  realized he was a fake if a policewomanhadn"t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my cars." Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was. " shocked and horrified" that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders. "I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence." Judge Adams warned York. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so 1 as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was 2 the street from our home and I would often 3 the kids as they played during breaks. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in 4 as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just 5 their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but nobody could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling(运球)and shooting over and over again, sometimes 6 dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked me in eyes and without a moment of 7 she said, "I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I 8 that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My 9 told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count." Then she smiled and ran towards the court to repeat the routine. Well, I had to admit that she was 10 . I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. 11 I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply. "I am just too 12 ." The coaches (教练) told her that at 5"5" she would probably 13get to play for a top ranked team- much less offered a scholarship - so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I 14her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She 15 her head from her hands and told me that her father said those 16 were wrong. They just did not understand the 17 of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college and if she truly wanted a scholarship, nothing could stop her except one thing-her own 18 . He told her again, "If the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count." The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college basketball coach. She was indeed offered a 19 , and admitted to the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had 20 of and worked toward for all those years. It"s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count.
