明代梅鼎祚的《青泥莲花记》，是写青楼故事的轶事小说，共十三卷，汇录了历代妓女的事迹，表现她们对自由、爱情的追求和可歌可泣的人生遭遇。书中所选人物既有真实的历史人物如梁红玉、孙凤奴等巾帼英雄，也有前代传奇小说中的女主人公，如李娃、霍小玉等，还有崔微、段东美等当时名妓。作家将她们喻为出污泥而不染的莲花，希望通过此书“以娼论古”，达到宣扬民主思想和善良人性及批判现实的目的。全书在思想和艺术上都达到了相当高的水平。

| I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And 1 assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always 2 to sit at the back of the classroom. All this 3 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 4 because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 5 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the teacher who kept insisting on my " 6 for it", I wouldn't have decided to give a try. Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7 of it! When I first started 8 the practice sessions (练习赛), I didn't 9 know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get 10 and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid. 1 , I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 2 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't 3 "just yet". I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 4 and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 5 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process (过程) - friends who respected my 6 to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun! With my 7 self-confidence comes more praise (赞扬) from teachers and classmates. I have gone from " 8 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19 raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent 20 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself. | ||||
