题目内容

　　My first performance (表演) in front of an audience was coming up soon．

　　I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing．I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands．

　　I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people．They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece．

　　What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?

　　As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me．I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat．

　　Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room．It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．．

I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down．Slowly, I opened the music．．

Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys．

　　As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment．But the memory of my years of training came flooding back．I knew that I had practised this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested．

　　Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地)．

　　My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me．

　　There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration．To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music．

　　When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head：DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!

　　Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind．．

And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake．

　　After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head．．

I had finished．．

I had mastered the impossible．

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary 　31 of the learning process. But too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We convey(传达) 32 　by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but 　33　 performance pleases us.

34 I see a child under this kind of pressure ,I think of Jack. He is a shy, nervous perfectionist. He 　35 answered questions—he might be 　36 .

I try my best to 　37 his self-confidence. And I repeatedly 　38 　God for direction. But 　39 changed until midterm, when Mary, a student teacher, came to our classroom.

One day we were working with math problems. Jack had copied the problems with care. 40 with his progress, I left the children with Mary .When I returned, Jack was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

At that time, Mary got a box 　41 with pencils from the desk we shared. “Look, Jack ! I’ve got something to show you.” she said.“ See these pencils, they belong to Mrs. Green and me. See how the erasers are 　42　 ? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try 　43 . That’s what you must learn to do, too.” Jack looked up with 　44 in his eyes---the first time I’d see on his face that year.

Jack gradually believe him that it’s all 　45 to make mistakes – as long as you erase them and try again.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 　26 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 　27 every comer of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 　28 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 29 my ideas on how to promote it.

First，we should 　30 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 　31 the no-car day, neither students 　32 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time，just walk or run. Use our 　33 and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags 　34 . No one can stand the “white pollution”，　35 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 　36 again and again.

37 ，one thing 　38 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn 　39 the lights the moment we leave, use 40 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these：no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
