Elizabeth
walked to the yard, carrying a bunch of daisies(雏菊).
"Beautiful
flowers for, for... Oh, I'll never get it right!"
She cried, throwing the daisies on the ground. She had been practising her
speech for a week.
Part
of her couldn't wait. This Saturday, the great Ana Wolff, famous pianist, would
perform at the concert hall in town. For four years, Elizabeth had listened to
Ms Wolffs recordings over and over again, loving the way the notes flowed like
a rushing mountain stream.
Part
of Elizabeth was terrified. Her music teacher at school, Mr Leaf, had asked her
to present the flowers to Ms Wolff after the performance. But Elizabeth knew
herself well. She had serious stage fright and she really hated it when she had
to talk in front of people. Even so, Elizabeth was determined to take the
challenge this time.
"How's
the speech going?" asked Elizabeth's mother, "Want to practice on me?"
"No,
thanks," said Elizabeth, "Mum, I can't do this! I'll forget. I might
even pass out(昏倒)!"
"Oh,
honey. Think about it... sharing the stage with Ana Wolff. What an honour!"
Mum gently comforted her.
Elizabeth
kept practising. "Beautiful flowers for... for a beautiful performance..."
She presented the flowers to the cat, the dog, even the statue in the garden. Soon
it was Saturday night, Elizabeth stood at the backstage, behind the heavy black
curtains. Holding the bouquet(花束)of red
roses, she felt her heart racing wildly and her stomach tightened with nervousness.
The
lights dimmed, and Ms Wolff began her performance. She swayed and nodded with
her fingers dancing across the keys. Soft sad parts, loud angry parts, parts
that sounded fun to play. Drawn into the music, Elizabeth forgot for a moment
about the six words she had to say. With a flourish(挥舞), Ms Wolff played her final note. Applause thundered through the
hall. People jumped to their feet and cheered.
Ms
Wolff smiled and bowed. Then she walked off stage and into the wings(舞台侧面). Almost immediately, she returned to the stage for a second bow.

Paragraph 1:
Then
came the frightening moment.
Paragraph 2:
The
audience cheered and clapped loudly for them.
答案:Then came the frightening moment. Clutching the roses, Elizabeth mustered all her courage to edge slowly towards the spot where Ms Wolff was standing. With difficulty, she opened her mouth, mouthing the very six words. But no sound came out. She tried again, only to feel the words stuck in her throat, unable to pour them out. The dim light from the audience gradually became numerous dots in her eyes. Ultimately, she took a deep breath and stammered in a low voice, "Beaut...Beautiful flowers for a beautiful performance!" With this, she tentatively presented the roses to Ana Wolff, who, in return, wrapped Elizabeth in a big hug. The audience cheered and clapped loudly for them. Through the glisten of the footlights on the stage, Elizabeth could see the crowd whistling and smiling. Backstage, Elizabeth unburdened to Ms Wolff about her secret of stage fright."That is exactly how I feel every time I go onstage! You need to swallow that fear and go out here anyway." said Ms Wolff, smiling with a determined look, "Just the way you did tonight." Then the great Ana Wolff gently drew a single red rose from her bouquet and gave it to Elizabeth, "Here is a beautiful flower for a brave girl."
