“Five minutes to go,” called out the director. “Is everyone ready?”
Ann's eyes were bright as she watched the stage. “I want to join—I love

The four contestants(选手) were
at their desks on the stage. Hot lights were shining down upon them. Suddenly one contestant's face turned pale and she fell over her chair. The cameraman helped the girl
the stage at once.
The director hurried
from the control room above. “Who among you wants to be on TV? We need another contestant!” he asked the audience.
Ann raised her hand without a second thought. “You're on!” the director
. He led Ann onto the stage. A make-up artist quickly put make-up on her face and
her hair.
“Ten seconds,” the director
. “It's time for Travel Quiz,
here's our host, Peter Lee!” Peter ran out onto the stage. The quiz show began right away.
Though Ann was not prepared, she seemed
and did really well. She answered the questions correctly and soon took the lead over the other
contestants. And then there was
a single question between Ann and
.
“And finally, could you tell me what the capital of South Africa is?” asked Peter.
“Pretoria!” Ann replied.
“

is a 5-day Beijing trip.”
Ann smiled brightly. This surprise proves that
