Betty lived in a small town. Beautiful flowers were seen everywhere in the town. Because of the shyness, Betty just stood with few words in public. She hardly talked to people in social activities. People in the community thought she was a quiet girl. She felt like a wallflower and wanted to know if she would go unnoticed all the time.
However, her closest friend, Fiona, was completely different. Fiona loved to communicate with others and she encouraged Betty to change. She told Betty life wasn't always as beautiful as roses and that everyone was able to make it full of roses.
With the encouragement of Fiona, Betty began to change. Instead of being a wallflower, she started attending a community theatre class. She took an active part in acting in the theatre group. Her gift for acting began to shine. However, new difficulties were never far away. One of Betty's classmates became a thorn in her side. The classmate was not satisfied(满意的) with her achievements, but Betty continued to deal with the situation. She managed to show herself and became friends with the classmate. All the changes made her feel fresh every day.
Betty's hard work paid off when the town's famous director, Mr Johnson, watched one of her plays. He liked her acting so much that he offered her the lead role in his new play. Betty's moment arrived. People were happy to watch her show.
Finally, Betty became a confident girl. Her change was like a beautiful rose in full flower. She encountered many difficulties which taught her that there's no rose without a thorn. But those thorns helped her develop her abilities. Betty's story showed that personal changes were possible for anyone.

解析
【分析】做本题需先通读全文把握主旨（Betty从害羞到自信的成长转变），再针对各题目，根据题型（细节理解、主旨大意、推理判断、词义猜测）定位原文对应内容，逐一分析选项排除错误，选出正确答案。
【解析】1. 细节理解题：定位前两段，由“Because of the shyness, Betty just stood with few words in public.”可知Betty害羞，在公共场合不敢多说话，对应选项D；A项“喜欢种玫瑰”未提及，B项“朋友害羞”与原文（朋友爱交际）不符，C项“没人注意她”是Betty的想法而非事实，故选D。
2. 主旨大意题：第三段主要讲述Betty在朋友鼓励下参加戏剧课、积极表演、应对同学问题等一系列变化，对应选项B；A项“鼓励”是变化的原因，C项“表演天赋”是变化中的细节，D项“成就”是变化的结果，故选B。
3. 推理判断题：第四段提到导演Johnson非常喜欢Betty的表演，给她提供新剧的主角，由此可推断Betty的表演很出色，对应选项C；A项“擅长写作”未提及，B项“导演常表演”无依据，D项“演讲天赋”与原文（戏剧表演）不符，故选C。
4. 词义猜测题：结合语境“Betty encountered many difficulties which taught her that there's no rose without a thorn”，可知encounter意为“遇到”，对应选项B；A项“给予”、C项“忘记”、D项“接受”均不符合语境，故选B。
5. 主旨大意题：最后一段明确点明“Betty's story showed that personal changes were possible for anyone.”，对应选项B；A项“自信是成功的关键”不是核心主旨，C项“友谊是改变的原因”片面，D项“变化越多越自信”未提及，故选B。
