21、知，其他人要比作者“小(younger)”。19C根据下一句中的I tried to calm down可知，作者参加考试时很紧张，因此在“发抖(shaking)”。20D因为紧张，作者想平静下来，因此是安慰自己：“如果(if)”这次过不了，冬天还可以再考。21A根据However一词可知，虽然作者在安慰自己，但是仍然不能“停止(stop)”出汗。22B作者在第二段描述了自己紧张的状态，结合本段中对他参加钢琴表演的叙述可知，这是另外一次让他感到非常紧张的情况，故nervous符合此处语境。23D因为是在回忆，所以说作者“记得(remember)”那次表演时感到窒息。24C由于紧张，手指冒汗，因
