(2022·北京丰台·一模)Taking a Chance
When Joseph handed Ms. Taylor his homework, he couldn’t have imagined how writing a short story would help him get more than a grade.
Joseph, who was ___1___, had few close friends. In his art class, students usually discussed modern painters and skills of mixing paint. He kept quiet. No one except Karen seemed to ___2___ him at all. So Joseph wanted to invite Karen to see the Jackson Pollock painting exhibit at the local museum. Every time he had an opportunity to invite her, he’d start by talking about his own painting. He knew his ___3___ was not as good as Karen’s—she was a natural artist—but he wasn’t sure where else to begin. He never got to the invitation before the bell rang.
But things suddenly changed when Joseph received an A+ on his story about a boy trying to ask a friend to an art opening. He was amazed. He knew that writing was fun and came ___4___ to him, but he didn’t realize he was good at it.
Ms. Taylor’s comments made him think he had a special talent, kind of like Karen’s for painting. Ms. Taylor ___5___ him to enter an upcoming national writing contest(比赛). At the beginning, Joseph didn’t want to enter the contest. He was worried that he would ___6___ his new pride in himself if he didn’t win. But Ms. Taylor insisted that taking risks was part of knowing who you are and what you can do. Joseph finally ___7___ to submit(提交)his story to the contest. When he won the second place, he was still proud of himself — of his writing and of his ___8___ to enter the contest. He felt so good too that he took the chance of asking Karen to the art show, and she said yes.
