Ⅴ. 完形填空
The day of my big solo had finally arrived. It was a big event: the Spring Fling Choir Concert. My 1 was on the cover of the programme. "Cindy... Soloist." I couldn't believe it. It wasn't Judy's name, but my name.
Judy and I had been classmates since primary school. She was always better than me.
I was filled with a lot of 2 because of the choir concert tryouts (选拔). We waited to be called one at a time into the choir room. When Ms Jenkins asked me to enter the room, my heart beat fast and my whole body was shaking. When I came back, Judy smiled at me. Ms Jenkins called her name and Judy calmly 3 her. She was still calm and smiling when she came out.
When Ms Jenkins told us who were chosen to join the choir group, I wasn't 4 when Judy's name was on the list and mine wasn't, but I was disappointed (失望的).
5 the sound of clapping (拍手) came. Ms Jenkins looked at me, "Cindy, you will have to start practising with me. The solo needs more 6." Solo? I got the solo? I looked 7 Judy. She was smiling and giving me the thumbs-up (竖起大拇指) sign.
Now the day had come. I was front and centre. The spotlight circled me in its bright light, but I felt quite nervous right there. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. I couldn't 8. "You can do it, Cindy," Judy said in a low voice. "I know you can."
I took a deep breath and sang out. All that came out was a bad squeak (刺耳的声音). But at that same moment, from behind me, came the sweet voice of the right note (音符). Judy gave me a soft touch. My voice lifted and 9 hers. When the next note came, it was all me.
The rest of the solo went well. And when the concert was over, a great cheer went up from the crowd. Judy was the first to hug me. "Thanks, Judy."
Judy smiled and gave me another hug. "What are friends for?"
Friends? Did she say friends? "You're right." This time I hugged her, beginning to love the feeling of 10 her friend. We stuck together like glue.
