This 15-year-old boy always waits for the answer from other classmates or the teacher. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang said. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raised their hands when a question was asked. “I think it is a problem that may affect (影响) our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates,” he said. When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn't raise their hands, he said, “They lack (缺乏) confidence. They are afraid that others say they' re showing off, or they're afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.” To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, and try to encourage students to offer their answers. Hu also advises students not to be shy, but to be brave enough to try. Sun Pin, 16, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn't sure she has gotten it right. Sun can't understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class. She enjoys raising her hand a lot. “It keeps me active and confident to express my ideas,” Sun said. “Raising my hand has really made me excellent.” 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 31.
