I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And    51   otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always    52   to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this    53   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    54   because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the    55 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 56   for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the    57   of it! When I first
started    58   the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much    59   what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get    60   and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   61   , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to    62   on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I
didn’t    63   “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the    64   and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive    65   in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the    66   — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my    67   self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from   68 in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   69    raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent    70   I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 21 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 22 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 23 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 24 is. When men are 25 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 26 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 27 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 28 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 29 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 30 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.

About 1,000 students were having a final exam in a huge lecture hall. Obviously the teacher wasn’t very well liked, who kept shouting out how much time was left.

Five   42   turned into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into forty … almost an hour   43   the test was over, our friend finally put down his pencil,   44   up his work, and headed to the front to present his final. The whole time, the professor sat there,   45   waiting for the student to complete.
“What do you think you are doing?” It was clear that the professor had   46   only to give the student a   47   time.
“Turning in my exam,” replied the student confidently.
“I’m afraid I have some bad   48   for you,” the professor gloated(幸灾乐祸), “Your 49 is an hour late. You’re FAILED it. And I’ll see you next term when you   50   my course.”

The student   53   the professor right in the eyes and said slowly, “I didn’t think so,” so he lifted up one of the   54   half way, put his test neatly into the center of the pile, let the pile fall 55   his test in the middle, turned around, and walked out of the huge lecture hall.

Do you remember last summer , when angry travelers were urging the government to do something about airline customer service ? Airlines     36     to improve , and they adopted (采用)new standards just before Christmas .    37     as another summer nears , plenty of     38
travelers don’t see much improvement in customer     39     overall .
This month , the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) office will publish its first critical   40
on whether airlines are     41     their promises . One survey（调查）suggests problems : the number of     42     to the DOT about the top 10 airlines in the first     43     rose 89% from a year ago .
Hit last summer by passenger complaints and the threat (威慑)of consumer-protection laws by the    44      , 14 airlines     45     to adopt a set of basic customer-service standards called Customers First . The “12 promises” to passengers were introduced     46     a mjor effort to improve service . Since then , airlines have been redesigning websites , retraining employees and upgrading technology .
Recently , DOT inspector general Kenneth Mead , at McCain’s request , sent 20 examiners to airports to     47     whether each airline is doing what it promised . Mead warns travelers shouldn’t    48      too much . Most of the promises are    49      better communication with customers , not problems with flights .
“Passengers should show more understanding to airlines about their     50     to better air service .” Spokeswoman Shelly Sasson says . “And when     51     are made , it takes a long time for them to be noticed,” she says .
Now , the efforts may be working . During the first quarter , Delta had the second-lowest rate of complaints among the     52     10 carriers .    53     , its rate , along with other carriers’ , is up from last year . McCain and other lawmakers say there may be a     54     to pass new consumer-protection      55    .
