My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.

I tried as hard as I could to remain 　36_, but I had an empty feeling in my stomach. I stared down at my sweat-covered(汗涔涔的) and _37_ hands.

I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were _38_ people. They were not just my mum and dad, who _39_ say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece.

What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?

As it _40_, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was _41_ for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.

Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the _42 _of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I swallowed the golfball-sized lump(隆起的) in my throat and sat down. _43_, I opened the music．Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.

As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more _44_ of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece _45_ that I could play it backwards if _46_ .

Needless to say, I _52 　myself with all my heart and mind．And, proud of my "page- turning" feat(技艺) I finished the _53_ of the piece without making a single mistake.

After the final note died away, a celebration went into action _54_ my head．1 had finished．I had mastered (征服)the _55_.
