I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself．And otherwise assigned a seat by the teacher, I always to sit at the back of the classroom．

All this 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 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me．But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try．

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the of it! When I first started the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much what I was doing．Sometimes I’d get and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid． , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t “just yet”．

I practiced and practiced．Soon I knew the and the “moves”．Being part of a team was fun and motivating．Very soon the competitiv in me was winning over my lack of confidence．With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player．I never had so much fun!

With my self confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates．I have gone from “ “in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent I had the right answer．Now I have more self confidence in myself．

NEW YORK—Australian mining enterpriser Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn’t call the ship unsinkable any more.

The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.

The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混雜), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I’m not too superstitious(迷信的). ”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.

White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.

“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it. ”

Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the“safest cruise ship in the world”.

Palmer refused to answer questions about the project’s cost. Although the Titanic was the world’s largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today’s modern cruise ships.

“It’s not about the money, ”Palmer said. “I’ve got enough money for it. I think that’s all that matters. ”

Forbes estimated Palmer’s net worth to be $795 million in 2012. He describes himself as a billionaire.

TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word“maiden”in Paragraph 4?

A. First. B. Trial. C. Second. D. Last.

2.What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?

A. TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.

B. TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.

C. TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.

D. TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912.

B. The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.

C. The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.

D. The Titanic was the world’s largest ship at that time.

4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To tell us the story of the Titanic.

B. To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.

C. To tell us about the future TitanicⅡ.

D. To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The old Titanic

B. The blueprints of TitanicⅡ

C. The unsinkable TitanicⅡ

D. Clive Palmer—a billionaire
