Question

 I was still shy in the presence of a crowd. And my first day at the new s 1      made me the laughing stock(笑料)of the whole class. I was sent to the blackboard to write my name. I knew my name,and knew how to write it,but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of so many pupils on my back made me n 2      ，and I was unable to write a single letter.

“Write your name，” the teacher told me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and,as I was about to write，my mind went blank. I could not r 3      my name，even the first letter.

Somebody laughed and I became more nervous.

“Just forget us and write your name,” the teacher called and walked to my side,s 4      at me to give me confidence(信心).

“What’s your name?” she asked.

“Jeremy,” I whispered.

“Then write it. ”

I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write,b 5      then my mind went blank again. I tried to collect my senses,but I could remember nothing. I realized I was in trouble and I grew w 6      and leaned(倚靠)my hot forehead against the cold blackboard. The whole class burst into a loud laughter and my body froze.
