B

Music filled the silence of the practice room. Our teacher made the dance look so easy when she was demonstrating it herself. Her movements flowed naturally with the rhythm of the music. Her eyes filled with confidence while she looked at herself in the mirror. Her dancing appealed to me.

Finishing the demonstration, she told us, “It’s your time to shine!” Over the course of four months, we practiced week after week as we prepared for our final performance: a real performance with an actual audience. That thought of standing onstage in front of a cheering crowd gave me instant stage fright.

In the beginning, we’d even grab drinks together after rehearsal (排练) and evaluate our own mistakes from the sessions. However, after a couple of weeks, our movements weren’t the same as usual. Some of my classmates no longer cared about the performance; others no longer felt motivated to improve their dancing abilities. So why did we continue practising if we didn’t even plan to finish it?

Matching the teacher’s dancing was an impossible goal. But I still used the course as a chance to start improving, even if it meant that I started at the very bottom. I didn’t pressure myself to perfect the choreography (编舞). I let that pressure move through my body instead, until I no longer saw myself in the mirror memorizing steps but actually dancing to the music.

On the day of the performance, recalling the way my teacher danced attracted me that first day, I entered the stage. I couldn’t see the audience through the bright spotlights. It was all dark around us, which made me less nervous. I only focused on my body, my mind, and the music. My mind was empty; I lost myself in the dance. I succeeded. And I knew at that moment, I engaged others, too.

 

24. What do we know about the author’s teacher?

A. She proved dance learning was easy. B. She enjoyed looking into the mirror.

C. She showed a positive self-identity. D. She was demanding with students.

25. What occurred to some classmates after weeks of rehearsal?

A. They stopped seeking feedback actively. 

B. They lost enthusiasm for practising.

C. They focused on other things instead.

D. They avoided social interactions post-practice. 

26. How did the author practise dancing?

A. By observing every small step. B. By arranging the movements.

C. By prolonging practice hours. D. By co-existing with pressure.
