I couldnt forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldnt read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know youre shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “Whats wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasnt easyI was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Mommas sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ Theres nothing better for heartache than Mommas love baked in a cake.”I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Mommas love. I felt safe in Mommas kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again. As I faced the class, I remember the ribbon and the smell of Mommas kitchen and then took a deep breath and began to speak with confidence. Finally I succeeded.（1）Why was Masha unhappy that day?A .
