HOW ARE BALLET DANCERS TRAINED?
Girls who study ballet generally begin at the age of eight to ten. Boys often start later.
Ballet training is hard work. Ballet students must develop strength, balance, and flexibility as
well as grace. They must learn a set of movements and gestures. Girls also learn to dance on
their toes. They usually begin pointe (tip-of-the-toes) work after three years of training.
All ballet students practice five basic positions of the feet. These five positions form
the basis of almost all ballet steps. All of these positions are performed with the legs turned
outward at the hip. The feet should be able to form a straight line on the floor.
The turned-out position gives a dancer a more pleasing “line”. Line has to do with the
placement of the dancer’s body, in motion and at rest. All parts of the dancer’s body must be
placed in the correct position to achieve good line. Training can improve a dancer’s line.
Good line gives a dancer the greatest stability and ease of movement. It also makes the
dancer’s body seem light in weight.
All dancers take daily classes to keep their bodies flexible and strong. Most classes
begin with warm-up exercises at the barre, a railing that dancers hold onto for support. The
second part of the class consists of slow exercises that develop balance and fluid (flowing,
not jerky) motion. After this, dancers practice quick movements, such as small jumps and leg
extensions, and then large steps, turns, and leaps.
16.What do ballet students have to build up?
A. strength and balance B. flexibility and grace
C. strength D. A&B
17.When do girls begin pointe work?
A. after two years of training. B. after five years of training.

A. The pointe B. The straight line
C. The barre D. The turned-out position
19.Why do all dancers have to take daily classes?
A. Because it helps them keep their bodies flexible and strong
B. Because it helps them keep their bodies balanced and more beautiful
C. Because it helps them keep their bodies light in weight
D. No information

My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself. During the
week it’s the worst. I usually have to get up at half past six even though I would really prefer
to sleep much later. I don’t usually have time for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to
school at seven o’clock. The bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school start
at a quarter to eight except on Tuesdays when they start at seven. Each lesson is forty-five
minutes long with ten-minute break in between.
After school I go shopping or just walk around the town for a while. Getting home, I
listen to the radio, watch television and maybe get a snack. Then I start doing my homework
or help my mom with some housework. Before I know it, the afternoon is gone and it is
evening.
In my family, we usually eat dinner at about seven o’clock. At dinner we discuss what
happened during the day and catch up with each others’ lives. Then I have some time to
watch TV news. Sometimes it is an interesting film or a video.
On the weekend, it is a different story. I sleep late and do whatever I wish with my
free time. I can go for a trip with friends, visit relatives or devote more time to my hobbies. I
think everyone will agree that weekends are much better than weekdays.

COLDS FROM COLD WEATHER
If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid
catching a cold?
Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chill and wet. Statistically,
colds do seem most common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such
patterns of occurrence therefore reasoned that keeping warm helped to prevent colds, while
getting cold and wet produced colds.
But if this is so, how can we explain accounts from Arctic and Antartic explorers who,
in spite of exhaustion, near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, did not catch cold?
Then, upon returning to the warmth and comforts of civilization, they often succumbed
immediately to colds.
Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of prisoners of World
War II Nazi concentration camps. During the late autumn and winter months, prisoners were
forced to take showers and then stand wet and naked in open air. They fully expected to
catch colds; to their surprise, most did not.
Doctors today believe that common cold is caused not by dampness and cold but by
virus. However, if the virus is present, it does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural
powers of resistance have been weakened by exposure to the cold and wet.
16.This article as a whole is about
A. experiences of Arctic explorers C. experiences in concentration camps
B. the cause of common cold D. the effects of dampness and cold
17.It may be inferred from the reading that
A. No one now believes that colds are caused by dampness and cold
B. You will not catch cold if you are wet and cold.
C. In the future, we may cure colds by treating the viruses that cause them.
D. If you do not eat properly, you will surely catch cold.
18.Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Colds are most common in June and July.
B. Keeping dry will not necessarily prevent catching cold.
C. Arctic explorers caught cold when they returned to civilization.
D. Concentration camp prisoners where forced to stand wet and naked in winter.
19.Which does the underlined word “their” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. concentration camps B. prisoners C. doctors D. antarctic
20.What does the word “to thrive” in paragraph 5 means?
A. to grow and flourish B. to reason C. to resist D. to grow and die
