　　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．

　　Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework－two whole weeks of heaven．Two weeks to relax．I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep．I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read．

　　But soon I noticed something：I couldn't sleep．It would be 12∶30 a. m．and I would be trying to fall asleep．I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!

　　This happened the next night, and the night after．During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry．I was playing a computer game even though it was boring．

　　The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing．Relaxation means doing something enjoyable．I planned to swim at the local high school．I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day．I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推荐)to me．I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day．After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full．And I'm truly having fun relaxing．

　　Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true．Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself．Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind．

　　After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time．This winter break will be different．I am relaxing by working．
