Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.” When I was a young boy, I was 1_shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often _2_me.I was sad but could do nothing, Later, _3_happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to _4_it .What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school. “Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 5_the contest.”Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself.”I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 _6_.With my mother’s great love, I did _7_in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place, I heard the cheers _8_the teachers and the students. Those classmates_9_once looked down on（看不起）me ,now all said “Congratulations!”to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly. Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell _10_to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country. 小题1: A．too B．so C．quite D．very 小题2: A．made faces at B．looked after C．caught up with D．laughed at 小题3: A．nothing B．something C．everything D．anything 小题4: A．take part in B．join C．get D．make 小题5: A．lose B．win C．pass D．beat 小题6: A．words B．topics C．times D．sentences 小题7: A．well B．good C．bad D．interested 小题8: A．for B．at C．from D．to 小题9: A．when B．what C．which D．who 小题10: A．someone B．me C．everything D．myself
