In the sixth grade,I joined the band programme to learn to play the clarinet(单簧管). The first year had gone 1.D But as most students progressed,I seemed to 2.B behind. One day,when my teacher told us to perform in class,I was filled with 3.A When I began to play,my rhythms were good,but my tone(调) was another 4.C “Didn't you practise your lesson?” the teacher shouted at me. I felt so 5.B and my world fell down at once.
From then on,I 6.C playing the clarinet and I was getting worse. With the new performance coming near,I grew 7.D upset. In a moment of panic(惊慌),I asked for sick leave. It was such a(n) 8.B way out and I was totally in relief.
I continued 9.A my lessons until my mum asked what had happened. “I want to give up,” I said with tears in my eyes. “Why are you 10.B if you really want to give up?” asked Mum. She had a(n) 11.A and I realized that I really wanted to stay in the band. By not facing my fears,I had created a black hole that would be difficult to 12.D out of. I knew it was time to find my way out.
The next day I 13.C with my other band teacher and told her about my problems. She asked me gently to play for her. I tried,14.B only an unpleasant sound came out. She handed me a new reed(簧片). I put it in place and tried again. To my 15.C,I could play so well.
Hiding from those fears only digs a hole,making a person trapped inside. After facing up to a fear,one may find life easier and more enjoyable.
