| I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just looked 35 . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. One day I asked her to read aloud the text. When I heard her standard American pronunciation, I looked at her with new eyes. And I 36 her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school was allowed to attend. I thought it over and filled in 37 name. Kelly practiced hard for the competition. However, I was a little worried because she was always too 38 . Could she do well in the competition? On the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. It seemed she was really 39 . I felt upset, but I just patted her on the shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches. Sure enough, No. 8 was very 40 . The whole audience made a warm applause （鼓掌）almost every 30 seconds and was still talking about his speech with 41 until Kelly appeared on the stage. I sat there with no 42 to look at her. It was her first time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her 43 . The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless. But the moment that 44 me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on （聚焦于）me.” Three times in all, louder and louder. The whole audience fell silent. I could 45 believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t 46 attention at all. She gave a perfect speech. I think I will never forget this touching lesson that my student taught me — never underestimate （低估）the power of the silent people. 35. A. beautiful B. ordinary C. popular D. strange 36.
