I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.

About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.

On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.

This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).

A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict (吸毒者)and how much she hated her mother.

“I want a new mom,” she cried.

“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied.

“You have to accept the mother that you have.”

This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.

1.The writer used to hate his mother because ________

A.she didn’t care for him. B.she was too strict with him.

C.she was a drug addict. D.she had no time to be with him.

2.The self-help program for teenagers lasted ___________.

A.a week B.two days

C.three days D.only one day

3.The writer started to change his thinking ___________.

A.after the exercise named “Chocolate or Toys” B.during the first two days of the program

C.as soon as he came to the program D.after he left the program some time

4.From the end of the passage, we can know that ____________.

A.the writer used to love his mom for years B.the writer will try to get along with his mother

C.the writer’s mom loves her son very much D.the writer’s mom is a very bad person

5.What is the main idea of this passage?

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. 1 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.
