I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless 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 _________ I should try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of _________, nor did I have the team ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Taking the _________ to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the _________ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and exciting. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my __________ confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process— friends who __________ 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 __________ to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent __________ I had the right answer.

Different background shouldn’t mean less education, Fifty years ago, in a primary school classroom, two boys aged 11 took an examination called the 11-plus, 1. would make decisions about the rest of their lives. Paul passed and went to a “grammar school”. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school”. They did not see each other again for years,
Many grammar schools 2. （establish） hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families. They encouraged students 3. （study） until they were 18 and then to go to university. Secondary modern school students left at 16, usually with fewer qualifications than grammar school students. Baz says the secondary modern school had 4.（few） resources and the quality of teaching was not as good.
Things have changed. In the 1960 s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools” were created. Today, 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the same area to the same school without 5. （take） any entry examination.
The British often disagrees about the best way 6. （educate） their children. Many people say that comprehensive schools help more children to succeed because they provide everybody 7. similar opportunities in a fairer way. Another view, though, is that more intelligent children, especially 8. from poor homes are better supported at grammar schools. Now, the government plans to open new grammar schools 9. almost two million children will go to the same type of school that Paul attended.
And Paul and Baz? Aged 60, they met again and compared what had happened to them. After university, Paul was qualified as a teacher 10. Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer. In fact, Baz had a much higher salary than Paul— so perhaps life is fair after all.
