Ballet for children and teenagersIt can take a long time to reach a professional level in ballet, so most dancers begin their training very young. It is essential that very young dancers learn the ballet movements properly right from the beginning. 【1】 This is because it is usually more difficult to change old habits than to learn new ones.The first thing that young children who are interested in learning to dance often do is attend creative movement classes, where they can practice basic skills like jumping and turning, and just have fun. 【2】 In addition, some people recommend that they should learn either to sing or play instrument.Young people who decide they want to have a ballet career can attend a dance school. Here, students not only study normal school subjects but also do daily dance training. 【3】 And the whole dance-school environment is set up to support the young people’s artistic development; it allows them to focus on their dance more easily, and prepares them for their future. But how can a young dancer and their parents tell which dance school is the most suitable? 【4】 The older students taking part in it should clearly have more highly-developed ballet skills than the younger dancers.By the time they are 16 or 17, many ballet dancers are entering ballet competitions and taking classes at professional studies. 【5】 It is important for young dancers to know how well they are doing, because the dance world is very competitive and the training is hard; not everyone makes it to the top.A.For all these reasons, they enjoy meeting other dancers.B.Listening to different styles of music also helps.C.Travelling long distances to dance schools can be tiring, too.D.Attending one of their public performances is a good way of finding out.E.If they develop poor techniques, they may have problems later on.F.This allows them to compare themselves with teenagers from other schools.G.That means they do not waste time travelling from home to dance classes.

It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近

It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近视). As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one's eyes should start with the exercise on one' s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows:

Firstly, don't fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation (循环) easier.

Secondly, walking on tiptoes will help improve one's eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet (芭蕾舞) performers are nearsighted.

Thirdly, rope skipping also does good to one's eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It will also help make one grow taller.

Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one's ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one's eyes soon.

To cure nearsightedness, people don't usually______.

A.depend on medicine

B.use equipment

C.think of foot exercises

D.pay attention to correcting the way children read and sit

From her wheelchair, a child raises rounded arms above her head to form. a blossoming flow
er. Nearby, a blind boy gently waves a flowing scarf as his body sways back and forth. Welcome to Infinite Dreams, a southern California program that each year helps more than 1,000 children with disabilities learn ballet, jazz, and other forms of movement. For founder Zina Bethune, a professional dancer and actress who works with a team of six instructors, this is a deeply felt mission.

"I've walked a very fine line between the abled and disabled worlds all' my life," says Bethune, a former soloist with the New York City Ballet who starred on Broadway in Tommy Tune's production of Grand Hotel. Born and raised in New York City, Bethune, 47, started formal ballet training at age 6 with legendary choreographer George Balanchine. But during adolescence, a host of medical problems mined her chances of becoming a prima ballerina. But she ignored them and her pain and continued to dance. Faced with all sorts of difficulties, she never gave up. By the time she was 34, Bethune had went gone two hip replacements.

Bethune, who has been married for 18 years to a former dancer, started Infinite Dreams in southern California in 1983. "Dance is spiritual," she says. "And these children's spirits are not disabled." Funded through grants and private donations, the group offers hour-long weekly sessions in schools and performs at arts festivals throughout the year.

"Participation, not perfection, is emphasized," notes Bethune, who is currently trying to make her program available nationally. Adjustments to the dance steps are made as needed. Russell Bartel, 14, a star student with spina bifida and little feeling in his lower legs, pirouettes not by turning on his toes but by spinning on his back. "What we try to make clear," Bethune says, "is that their individual version of any step is valid. That's their dance."

From that understanding often springs a newfound sense of confidence. "I can do a lot more than I ever thought I could." Bartel says. "It makes me feel great."

What kind of organization is Infinite Dreams?

A.A dancing club in southern California.

B.A program to realize the art dreams for disabled children.

C.A proposal to perform. arts for disabled children.

D.A team of professional dancers and actresses.

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their kids at home. In fac
t, the U. S. Department of Education estimated that, in 1999, around 850,000 children were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say the real figure is about double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children appear to grow at a rate about 11 percent annually.

At one time, there was a stigma associated with homeschooling. It was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their children at home due to dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty pupils. The result is often that children are deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.

Critics of homeschooling say that children who are not in the classroom miss out on learning important social skills because they have little interaction with their peers. Several studies, though, have shown that the home-educated appear to do just as well in terms of social and emotional development as other students, having spent more time in the comfort and security of their home, with guidance from parents who care about their welfare. In spite of this, many critics of homeschooling have raised concerns about the ability of parents to teach their kids effectively. Many parents whose homeschool have no teacher training and are not competent educators of all the subjects taught in schools. In terms of academic achievement, however, homeschooled children do just as well as those who have been in the classroom and many walk the campuses of Harvard and Stanford alongside the conventionally-educated.

With an increasing number of disgruntled parents taking their children out of class, schools are receiving less money in per pupil funding. Some see this as a threat to the system, and argue that schools will never be able to improve their situation and restore parents' confidence in the educational system. Many schools have opened their doors to homeschoolers on a part-time basis, allowing these children to attend classes once or twice a week, or take part in extra-curricular activities such as playing football or taking ballet lessons. While parents will not completely put their confidence back into the system, many of them have reached a compromise that allows their children the extra benefits of peer interaction and access to a wider choice of activities.

Whatever the arguments for or against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has become a multimillion dollar industry, and it is growing. There are now websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents assert their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once the last resort for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that some believe is failing.

What is the reason that more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their children at home?

A.Teacher shortages and lack of funding.

B.Escalating classroom violence.

C.Large class and problems inside the classroom.

D.Dissatisfaction with the educational system.

No one in my family could believe Allegra had any disability, much less one as severe as h
ers. To them a disability was physical, something you could see. They knew her as a happy, normal child. That’s how it is with a learning disability -you don’t see obvious physical symptoms.

But as she grew out of preschool, she would pretend to read-I knew she was pretending because the book was upside down. She withdrew into her own world where she could fantasize about being a ballet dancer, a Broadway actress or a figure skater. In the real world, ballet classes and music lessons led only to confusion, frustration and, ultimately, disappointment.

As for school, there was no way she could be included in a mainstream classroom. I went through every special school in New York, only to be told over and over: "She doesn’t belong here." The last blow came a few months after the diagnosis, when I was at a pay phone on 72nd Street, waiting for an answer from the very last school on my list. Finally a cold voice came on-I can still hear it-and said: "I’m sorry, but we feel this isn’t the place for her." I hung up and stared at the phone in tears.

I had lived my life as the daughter of Henry Ford II, and for the first time in my life I faced a problem that neither money nor position could solve. I nearly gave up, but I knew I couldn’t. Without me, my daughter stood no chance of making it.

21 .According to the first paragraph, Allegra’s problem was _ .

A. psychological?B. obvious?C. physical?D. invisible

22. Allegra was disabled in that _.

A. she was unable to learn like a normal child

B. she was always reading with her book upside down

C. she isolated herself from other children in her class

D. she was living in her dreams in conflict with the real world

23 .The expression "a mainstream classroom"(para. 3) refers, to _.

A. the last blow???B. the last school

C. special schools??D. normal education

24. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.

A. the author would ask Henry Ford II for help

B. the author would continue to help her daughter

C. the author would leave New York for the sake of her daughter

D. the author had to use money or position to deal with the problem

25.The phrase "making it" (para. 4) probably means _.

A. becoming a figure skater?B. becoming a ballet dancer

C. becoming successful???D. getting proper treatment
