Ⅱ. 阅读理解
When I was little, I was shy. I was afraid to speak up in class or make new friends. My heart would beat fast whenever someone asked me a question, and my face would turn red like a tomato. I spent most of my spare time playing video games and watching cartoons (动画片). I was comfortable in my little world, but I knew something was missing.
One day, I met a new friend, Sarah. Sarah was different from me. She loved trying new activities and meeting new people. She encouraged me to step out of my world. We went riding, climbed trees, and tried painting together. I was scared, but Sarah taught me that it was OK to make mistakes and that failure was a stepping stone to success.
Slowly but surely, I started to change. I began to raise my hand and share my thoughts in class. It felt great to be heard and valued by my classmates and teachers. I even joined school clubs and took part in talent shows.
Now, I'm different. I'm shy sometimes, but I've learnt to be proud. I've discovered that being myself is the best way to make true friends. Thanks to Sarah, I see the world as a place full of possibilities. I'm not afraid of trying new things because they help me grow. I'm thankful for what I've become—someone brave, confident, and ready to explore the world, one step at a time.
