5 . 阅读下面材料，根据所给情节和段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Elsa loved school. However, there was one class Elsa worried about more than any other—art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting.

Ms. Daniel, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Daniel was a great teacher, and Elsa liked her a lot. But this announcement made Elsa nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Daniel was quite excited when she spoke while Elsa found herself sinking lower in her chair.

Elsa had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Elsa felt frightened, so after school Elsa asked Ms. Daniel if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project.

“I understand this project scared you, Elsa,” Ms. Daniel said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Daniel smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings—it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.”

When Elsa arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Daniel’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Elsa wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled(揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk.

Paragraph 1：

Then Elsa stared at the crumpled ball.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：

On Friday, Elsa carefully carried her project, a snowman, into the library.
