Passage 57

(湖南省长郡中学2010届高三第三次月考)

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my　 36　 for greater contact with local students,　 37　 　I initiated the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 　38　 　and sometimes snobby (势利的) people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to　 change their opinions.

After　 39　　 the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to　 40　　 　them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.

A side-effect of my　 41　　 confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 　42　　 of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and　 43　　 behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted　　 into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.

It finally worked My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 44　　 and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real　　 friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and　 45　　 to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.

From my　 46　　 in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your　 47　　 　dreams.
