Can ballet change Lives? ____Last night I was worried,very worried

Can ballet change Lives?

21.____Last night I was worried,very worried. I had the job of going to watch amateur ballet dancers performing on stage with one of the UK's top professional ballet companies. A performance like this seemed very risky and! asked myself, 'Are they mad?'Before I tell you the answer,I'll tell you why I had such big doubts.

22.____The idea of mixing amateur and professional dancers started a couple of years ago when two friends with very different jobs found a way of working together. One of the men had created an award-winning TV series. Musicality ,in which amateurs trained to perform. in the musical Chicago. The other man runs a charity called Youth at Risk which works with young people who have serious problems with aggression and antisocial behaviour. Although it was a risk, the two men thought they could make a TV programme in which ballet changed the lives of young people with problems.

23.____Their idea was this: if the young people could accept the strict discipline and challenge of ballet training,it would build their self-esteem and give them new confidence in themselves. The first step was to find suitable teenagers to take part and they asked teachers and youth workers already working professionally with young people at risk, to find candidates for the project. Through them 300 young people joined the programme and although about half dropped out,in the end sixty teenagers appeared on stage in the public performance.

24.____The ballet they chose was Sergei Prokofie's Romeo and Juliet ,choreographed by Sir Kenneth MacMillan. The story of Romeo and Juliet includes family conflict, the generation gap ,gangs, murder ,young love and teenage suicide so it is the perfect mirror for the lives of troubled young people in today's society.

25.____Going back to my original question: 'Are they mad?' The answer is definitely ‘no’. As soon as the ballet started, my worries disappeared. It was amazing how these unlikely dancers were magically transformed into their characters. At the end of the evening I was left with this thought: 'ballet can change lives'. It is a dancing cure, not a talking cure; it is silent so it stops arguments.

A. Why I love going to the ballet

B. Where the idea came from

C. Why I was worried

D. Romeo and Juliet is the perfect choice

E. A new star is born in Chicago

F. How they found the young people

G. My final thoughts

H. A dancer's life

Ballet for children and teenagers

It 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.

Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.

People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. 'Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modem dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert. The Ballet Rambert is Britain's oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a "new look" in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent—for musicians and designers as well as dancers—and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company's previous fans disliked the change, new audiences came to see the productions. The modem dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In 1968 the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London's West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the arts. Later, the Ballet Rambert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.

The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modem dance popular while creating original and often avantgarde(标新立异的) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.People in Britain and the USA are interested in modern dance.

B.It is popular to learn all kinds of dances.

C.More audiences than before go to watch modern dances.

D.Ballet Rambert is the most popular modern dancer.

根据短文回答 51~65 题。 Making the Leap Jumps play a big role in many styles of danci

根据短文回答 51~65 题。

Making the Leap

Jumps play a big role in many styles of dancing.Generally, what makes a jump impressive is its hang time,the amount of time a dancer spends in the air.

The quest for greater hang time is a battle against gravity, the constant

____________(51)pull of Earth,said Laws.To leave the ground at all.a dancer has to use leg muscles to create an upward push that is greater than Earth's downward pull.But the final____________ (52)of any jump depends on just one thing:the upward speed of the body just as the dancer leaves the ground.

Strengthening muscles so they can push harder is one obvious____________ (53)to achieve higher jumps and increase hang time.But ballet dancers also use a simple trick to gain the illusion of staying in the air longer without actually doing S0.In a huge sideways jump called a grand jeté(小跳),a____________(54)ballet dancer seems to float for an impossible length of time.Of course,a dancer can't really hang in the air.The laws of physics decree that during any jump,a dancer's center of gravity must follow a parabola(抛物线).A parabola is the same____________ (55)path a ball takes when you throw it into the air.So how do dancers make it look like they're hanging in the air?

A dancer____________ (56)the illusion of floating in the air by lifting her legs and arms as she approaches the peak of the jump.The____________ (57) of her body

responds by sinking a bit.If her timing is just right,she'll seem to float sideways,instead of rising and fallin9.The effect is not only beautiful;it____________ (58)makes the jump seem bigger by" stretching out" the peak.

Of course,what goes up must come down.During a typical grand jete,a dancer's center of gravity raises 2 feel____________(59)the ground。Pulled by gravity from such a height,the dancer's body falls very fast—roughly 3.4 meters per second—by the time it reaches the floor.

As it falls,the body carries with it momentum(动量).Momentum is the weight of the body multiplied by its____________ (60).The bigger the body is and the faster it falls,the greater its momentum.

The only way a dancer can stop dropping through the air is by stopping the body's momentum,which requires an____________ (61)force—the ground.Landing can____________ (62)injuries.The dancer can ease the landing by bending her knees and letting her arms fall。but she also gets help from an unexpected source:the floor.Wooden dance floors are designed to____________(63)like shock absorbers.They can recoil(回缩)as much as an inch under extreme pressure.That little bit of give(弹性)makes a big____________(64).Landing on a wooden floor, the dancer undergoes a slower change in momentum than she would hitting a rigid floor.The give in the floor allows the decrease in momentum to happen more____________ (65) with less force and less chance of injury.

Concrete is probably used more widely than any other substance except water, yet it remain
s largely unappreciated. “Some people view the 20th century as the atomic age, the space age, the computer age — but an argument can be made that it was the concrete age,” says cement specialist Hendrik Van Oss. “It’s a miracle material.” Indeed, more than a ton of concrete is produced each year for every man, woman and child on Earth. Yet concrete is generally ignored outside the engineering world, a victim of its own ubiquity and the industry’s conservative pace of development. Now, thanks to environmental pressures and entrepreneurial innovation, a new generation of concretes is emerging. This high-tech assortment of concrete confections promises to be stronger, lighter, and more environmentally friendly than ever before.

Concrete is also a climate-change villain. It is made by mixing water with an aggregate, such as sand or gravel, and cement. Cement is usually made by heating limestone and clay to over 2,500 degrees F. The resulting chemical reaction, along with fuel burned to heat the kiln, produces between 7% and 10% of global carbon-dioxide emissions. “When we have to repeatedly regenerate these materials because they’re not durable, we release more emissions,” says Victor Li who has created a concrete suffused by synthetic fibers that make it stronger, more durable, and able to bend like a metal. Li’s creation does not require reinforcement, a property shared by other concretes that use chemical additives. Using less water makes concrete stronger, but until the development of plasticizers, it also made concrete sticky, dry, and hard to handle, says Christian Meyer, a civil engineering professor at Columbia University.

Making stronger concretes, says Li, allows less to be used, reducing waste and giving architects more freedom. “You can have such futuristic designs if you don’t have to put rebar in there, or structural beams,” says Van Oss. A more directly “green” c6nerete has been developed by the Australian company TecEeo. They add magnesium to their cement, forming a porous concrete that actually scrubs carbon dioxide from the air.

While experts agree that these new concrete will someday be widely used, the timetable is uncertain. Concrete companies are responsive to environmental concerns and are always looking to stretch the utility of their product, but the construction industry is slow to change. “When you start monkeying around with materials, the governing bodies, the building departments, are very cautious before they let you use an unproven material,” Meyer says. In the next few decades, says Van Oss, building codes will change, opening the way for innovative materials. But while new concretes may be stronger and more durable, they are also more expensive — and whether the tendency of developers and the public to focus on short-term rather than long-term costs will also change is another matter.

By saying “it was the concrete age”(Line 3, Para. 1), Van Oss means that

A.the traditional building material concrete is the only man-made miracle.

B.concrete is indispensable in the development of modern construction industry.

C.compared with other inventions, concrete is more practical and useful.

D.concrete, as a building material, can be mixed with any other materials.
