Ⅱ.完形填空
Last year, I entered the school singing competition. I practised every day, but on the
1, I felt so nervous that my face turned 2. My voice shook, and I forgot the lyrics（歌词）halfway. I failed 3.
For a whole week, I felt completely hopeless. I didn't want to talk to anyone or try again. My music teacher noticed and said, "Every artist 4 before they succeed. The pain you feel now is part of 5 up."
Her words stayed with me. I decided to face my 6. I practised not only the song, but also 7 in front of my family and even in empty classrooms. It was uncomfortable, but I kept going.
This spring, I entered the competition again. My hands were still cold, 8 my voice was clear. I didn't win first prize, but I finished my song perfectly.
That 9 taught me an important lesson: growth often hurts, but if you don't 10, the pain will turn into strength. Sometimes, you need to fail completely to learn how to stand up stronger.
