25、I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot.

I stood on the stage（舞台）for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty（空的）. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.

From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one.

One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought.

“There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand（伸展）their branches（枝条）. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice.

To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public.

Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.

What’s more, the tree that doesn’t live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life.

I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.

【1】The hall turned noisy because __________.

A．the competitor got ill on stage

B．they were too nervous

D．the competitor forgot what to say

【2】What happened to the writer after the speaking competition?

B．His friends tried to cheer him up.

C．He worked harder to improve himself.

D．He seldom expressed his ideas in public.

【3】Why are trees in forests much taller than those in the wild?

A．They are taken good care of.

B．There is more water and sunshine in forests.

C．They have to grow taller to receive more sunlight.

D．They have enough space to expand their branches.

【4】Which of the following describes the whole change of the writer?

A．Quiet-active.

B．Active-quiet.

C．Active-quiet-active.

D．Quiet-active-quiet.

【5】What does the writer learn from the science class?

A．A good friend is like a mirror.

B．Everything may happen in our society.

C．We shouldn’t laugh at others when they fail.

D．One should grow stronger to fit into society.

Narrator: The princess did as she was asked, but the frog looked sad!
