Mrs. Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom, "Next Wednesday I'll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor. Now select one of the composers listed on the chalkboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra (管弦乐队) that performs the composer's music." And then she smiled, "You'll receive the test in front of your classmates."
"What? A test in front of the classmates? It will kill me." I said to myself. Although normally I perform well in music and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names on the chalkboard. One name caught my attention. ."Who's that person?" I wondered. I didn't know, but that was going to be my choice.
Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no on would announce that name. Finally, it was my tum. I said without a second thought, "Johannes Brahms." Once I said the name panic washed over me. I sighed, "How am I going to do this? I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher."
Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms's compositions and its relevant music score (乐谱) . Back home, I played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地) , pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days I kept practicing but didn't perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard to me.
When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my tum to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name,"Jill, it's your turn."

Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom.

The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with score.
