Changing Makes You More Confident

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

All this changed 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 ______ idea 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 laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my "going for it", I wouldn't have decided to give it a try.

When I first started ______ the practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get confused and take a shot at the wrong ______ —which made me feel really stupid. Fortunately, I wasn't the　　 only one "new" at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't know "just yet".

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the ______ and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating (激励, 动力). With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

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

There are many useful inventions in the world. Do you want to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has thought up the “Nubrella”, which means “new”+ “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world.
One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a usual umbrella, you can wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella is safer than traditional ones and will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind.
The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in his shop amd began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew pictures.

2.How can we use the “Nubrella”?
