As a student, I was most afraid to answer  questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At  the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered  my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr.  Black gave us a lesson.He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some  questions,but no one answered."Let me tell you a story first,，， he said.

"When 1 came to the United Slates to study,  the univer?sity often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the  beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me  always took a cardboard folded (折疊的) in half, wrote  their names in bold with the most eye-catching color.and then placed the cardboard on the seat.So when the speaker needed the answers from the students  ， he could see and call a listener's name  directly."

"I couldn't understand that. My classmate  told me the speakers were all top people who meant chances. When your answer was  to his surprise ， it meant he might give you more  chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of  that."

After listening to the story, I understood  that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so  that you can find a chance on the card.
