I want to know what will become _______ that poor little boy if no one wants to help him?
| A．to | B．of | C．on | D．with |
When I was a ten-year-old girl, I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”. To talk before the whole class! Just imagine how 31 (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other 32 (choose), though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer－something to pride myself in. But the hard part 33 (lie) in my oral presentation; to read from 34 paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech 35 my memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs 36 (tremble) and my mind blank. How much time had passed by, I didn’t know. My listeners were still waiting, patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found 37 back, giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After 38 seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building 39 , I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficultyon our way to success is our fear; overcome it, 40 we will be able to achieve our goals.

All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
