Entering the drama room I am immediately surrounded by the familiar sights, smells and sounds.
Streaks(条纹,线条) of light cast by the blinds of the tall __1_ send shafts(杆状物) of light through
the dusty air. I take a _ 2_ and the concrete and paint _ 3_ tickle my nose. I _ 4 _ everything about
this room.
Some of the _ 5 _ times of my life have been spent here. It"s ironic(讽刺的), but the _ 6 is the
only place where I feel that I don"t have to _ 7_ to be someone I"m not. Like many teenagers, I almost
_8 _ think that people are judging me, but when I act, that feeling disappears. People only look at your
_ 9_ ability, not your clothing, money, choice of friends, or any of the other ways people are usually
_10_.
When I"m on stage, everything else vanishes(消失). All the worries and _11_ of the outside world
are put on hold. Nervousness is still present, _12 _ it"s the excited and tingly kind, not the queasy(不稳
定的) _13___ of being different and alone.
I _14_ love to work backstage and on lighting. I _15_ you could find another girl who would work
on a ladder _16 her elbows in cables and dust and love every second of it. It makes me unique and
gives me a sense of _17_ to know that I succeed in an area where _18_ others-and virtually(事实上)
no girls-do.
High school is a difficult atmosphere, to put it _19_. Like others, I"m often insecure(不安的), not
_ 20_who I am or where I"m going in life. Wherever that may be, I will always have the confidence I
get from the-ater.

full extent, had a cup of water 2 on his elbow, and released the arrow. As soon as the first arrow
flew off, a second one was wound up. The moment the second one was winged, a third was ready,
and all of them lodged in the same place. During all this time, his 3 was as still as a statue.
After his performance, Lie Zi asked Bo Hun Wu Ren: "What do you think of my archery skill?"
Bo Hun Wu Ren laughed: "This is still only a(an) 4 shot, not quite the perfect shot yet. Let"s
climb up the mountain and stand on the 5 overhanging the abyss(深渊). We"ll see if you can 6 an
arrow."
Wu Ren then led Lie Zi up to a place eight hundred feet above a deep valley. Wu Ren turned his 7
to the edge of the cliff, 8 moving his feet until he was standing with his heels extending over the edge,
and 9 Lie Zi to join him. Lie Zi was so 10 that he threw himself down on the ground, sweating
from head to toe.
Bo Hun Wu Ren raised the bow and shot the arrows from his bow, with no 11 missed. Then he
looked at Lie Zi and said 12 . " The best archer can look up at the blue 13 , down at the nether
(地下的) world and to the eight poles of the earth but still keep 14 . Here on this mountain, you"re
already 15 , so your chances of hitting your mark are very slim".
