Roberta appeared on the
stage. She took a1 breath and began to speak. Now she was Portia,
a strong-willed character in Shakespeare's The
Merchant of Venlce. The theater was filled with people. She was speaking
with a 2 she had never before experienced, the words
flowing (流动) smoothly from her.
In fact, Roberta had never
acted in her life before the audition (选拔试演) . She 3 being in front of other people. She was very
shy at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to 4 much attention. She stayed mostly to herself,
making few friends. She had 5 grades, but she always thought that something
was missing.
Two weeks before the
audition, Roberta's mother had heard about it and 6 her to join in.
"I can't think of
anyone else better 7 to play the part. Remember all the plays you
used to act out for us."
Her mother wouldn't let the
8 drop. “You're just a little scared. Everyone
get scared. You know you can do it. The trick is to look 9 the fear to find the love of what you're
doing.”
So Roberta had made an
appointment (预约) with the head of the Drama
Club. She had 10 the play and found herself excited by the idea
of speaking such rich words. In 11 she practiced Portia's part, memorizing (记住) the lines by repeating them
over and over. It wasn't hard, she 12 every minute of it. Every time she spoke the
words, she had a new 13 of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written
Portia on many levels.
On the day of the audition,
she 14 two of Portia's famous speeches for the
auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the 15 was hers, she knew she had made it.
