If you’d like to become a dancer, spend some time choosing a dance style. Each type of dance is made up of techniques which need to be practiced and mastered.
Once you have decided to become a dancer, it is important to carefully choose a dance class.
It is easy to form bad habits in the beginning, and extremely hard to correct them. So choosing a good teacher will help you a lot from the beginning. Special dance shoes will be required for most dance styles, including ballet slippers for ballet and tap shoes for tap. Your dance teacher will probably have a preference for clothing, such as a black leotard(紧身衣) with pink tights for a ballet dancer, or black dance pants(短裤) for a jazz dancer.
If you are enrolled in your very first dance class, tour the dance studio before your first day.
The floors of dance studios should be soft, as dancing on hard floors may cause injuries. The class structures will vary for the different dance styles.

Nowadays a vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Leading health experts agree that maintaining a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our families. . A well planned vegetarian diet provides us with all the nutrients we need and avoids fat, cholesterol(胆固醇) and the pollutants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. And it can provide protection against various kinds of diseases, including the three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension(高血压) .
.
Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat eating friends. Vegetarians live, on average, 6 to 10 years longer than meat eaters.
. Animals raised for food consume the vast majority of their calories simply in order to live, just as we do. We feed more than 70 percent of the grains and cereals we grow to farm animals, and almost all of those calories go into simply keeping them alive, not making them grow. Only a small amount of the calories consumed by farm animals are actually turned into the meat that people eat .So it’s really a huge waste, isn’t it? Try your best to find tips for maximizing(最大化) the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.
| A．All of these diseases are more likely to happen to meat eaters |
| B．Living on plants also saves energy |
| C．Growing all the crops needed to feed animals requires massive amounts of water and land |

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs （企业家） in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile （敌意的） to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy（嫉妒）．Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home．
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money． Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
．But there is also opposite evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy, either．
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．“It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．” They set out to do things in their way．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires．
．It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly, people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．
| A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain． |
| B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner． |
| C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．” |
| D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success． |
E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．
F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. ________
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. _______ What you need to do is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The Real Player from Real Media.com. The Real Player allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻) by limited understanding. ________
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
• Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
• Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
• Do not translate everything into your native language.
• _______ Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
• Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. _______ Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
| A．What should you do? |
| B．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
