19. The Comeback Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink(溜冰場).She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago.As she waited for her turn to skate,Laurie was very nervous.She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback. "If I can win today,"she thought,"I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics." Laurie was told that she had a tough competition this year,and a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything."She is the one you have to beat this year,"the coach said. Minutes later,the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age.The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair.The bag fell to the floor with a sound. Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny."So this is my competitor,"thought Laurie,"Because of her,I may lose tonight." "This costume(服裝)was my mom's idea,"Jinny started the conversation,looking down at her red,white,and blue skating dress."looks like a flag." Laurie couldn't keep from smiling.She pointed to Jinny's skating bag."Something fell out of your bag,"Laurie said. Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor.As she began to gather her belongings,the door opened. "Jinny,"called someone,"You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away." "I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago,"said Jinny,"Tell him it's the green box with my initials written in white in the right-hand corner." "He said you never gave it to him.and he's getting angry." "Then I don't know what I did with it,"said Jinny,hurrying out. Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself.If she lost her music tape,she might as well forget about skating.Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends. Paragraph 1: Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table._______ Paragraph 2: Feeling relaxed,Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name._______
