27、During the years people change a lot. Five years is enough to compare yourself now and then. I think that I have changed a lot in the past five years.

Firstly, there are changes in my thoughts. Five years ago my thoughts were the same as a child’s. I believed that the world was a place without problems. I thought that I could always have time for games and friends wouldn’t change. Also I was sure that if I had any problems, my parents could always be around me offering help. Now I still believe that the world is a great place to live in, but sometimes there are different problems you have to face. And at times you have to deal with these problems alone without any help. And that is one of the changes that have happened to me in the past five years. Now I’m much more responsible (负责任的) and serious than five years ago.

Secondly, there are some changes in my interests. Now I spend less time with friends and I spend most of my time studying for exams. Five years ago, it wasn’t so. I believed that there was nothing more important than playing football or watching cartoon movies during those days.

Although I have changed in some ways, there are some similar ways between now and then. For example, I still like spending time with friends. And I am still sure that childhood is the best time in our life.

D．花费

28、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

I used to watch a little girl playing basketball every day from my kitchen window. One day I asked her 【1】 she practiced so much. She said, "I want to go to college. The only way I can go is 【2】 (get) a scholarship. I like basketball and I want to be the best player in college. My dad told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count."

She never changed her mind. I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school. One day before she graduated【3】 high school, I saw her sitting on the grass【4】 (sad). I asked her what was wrong. She told me that her coach said she was 【5】 short to be a good basketball player, so she should stop 【6】 (dream) about going to college. She was heartbroken and it made me【7】(feel) bad, too. Then she smiled and told me her father said that the coach was wrong. He did not understand the power of dream. Her father said to her, "If you really want to play for the scholarship of a good college, nothing but 【8】 (you) can stop your dream." He told her again, "If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count."

The next year, she and her team went a big game. She 【9】 by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the 【10】 (woman) basketball team of their college.

"If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count." It is true.

29、I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like others to notice me. And if I was not told to have 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 join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, and I didn’t have the ______ to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept insisting on（坚持） my “______ for it”, I decided to give a try.

Getting up the ______ to try was only the half of it! When I first started ______the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction — which made me feel really silly. ______, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the ______ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING ______ I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!

With more 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 and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
