5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“How did tryout go, Shayna?” Mom asked after school. “Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!” “What part did you get?” “None,” I whispered. I ran to my room and started weeping because of my lack of a talent for the play. I always bear it in mind that drawing is my good part and drawing always makes me feel better.

The next day, Kristie was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous, Shayna,” she said. “Will you continue to come to rehearsal?”

I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet. My parents had signed me up for the late bus because I thought I’d be in the play.

“All right,” I said. “But only today.”

In the auditorium, Ms. Carson handed out copies of the script to the cast. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small windows and doors.

“How terrible the scene is!” I thought to myself.

Ms. Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to admit, Kristie was really good. Ms. Carson hit a metal triangle with a little stick 12 times. Kristie ran off the stage and dropped her left sneakers. The curtain came down.

“Thanks, everyone,” said Ms. Carson. “We’ll go through the rest tomorrow.”

“When will we get the real sets?” Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle.

“These are the real sets,” Ms. Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.”

注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Hearing what Ms. Carson said, I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something I can do.”
