My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain 36 , but I had an empty feeling in my stomach. I stared down at my sweat-covered, 37 hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 38 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 39 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 40 , I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 41 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 42 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played.I swallowed the golfball-sized lump(隆起的) in my throat and sat down. 43 , I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 44 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 45 that I could play it backwards if 46 .
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 47 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically. My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.
There was no 48 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned 49 and focused carefully on the music. 50 1 came to the end of the page, a warning 51 inside my head: DON' T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I 52 myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my "page- turning" feat (技艺), I finished the 53 of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action 54 my head. I had finished. I had mastered the 55 .

In the summer of 1978 an English farmer named Lan Stevens was driving his tractor through a field of wheat 1 he discovered something strange.
Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The 2 wheat formed a circle about six meters 3 . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation 4 five dots on dice.
Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered similar circles in one of his fields. These circles were 5 —nearly 15 meters across.
That same year, yet another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle 6 two small circles.
During the 7 years, farmers in England found the mysterious circles in their fields more and more often. In 1987 they discovered 50 circles; in 1988, 98 circles; and in 1989, 270 circles.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in fields of grain—usually wheat or corn.
The grain in the circles lies flat 8 but is never broken: it continues to grow horizontal, and farmers can later 9 it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate 10 us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
11 believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are 12 left by their spaceships. Several times people reported 13 strange flying objects near fields where crop circles later appeared.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles say they're not sure what 14 them. They 15 several theories.
For example, some scientists say that “microburst” of wind create the circles. A microburst is a 16 rush of cool air—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.
Other scientists say that forces 17 the earth cause the circles to appear.
Experts from 18 have studied them. What do the experts 19 the crop circles? They say what Lan Stevens said: “They don't know how 20 these things.”
