26、 Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.
Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女),Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.
Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.
Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.
During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”
It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?
【1】Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?
A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.
B.The audience didn’t like her performance.
C.She injured her arm in a training course.
D.She had to look after her family.
【2】Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?
A.To help Meryl with her problems.
B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.
C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.
D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.
【3】In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.
A.benefits people’s mental health
B.should be taught at primary school
C.is less attractive to the young
D.raises people’s interest in art
【4】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Suzelle will go to find other joy of life.
B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.
C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.
D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.
27、 If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $25 or so.
For a wedding , the bride will have "registered ( 登 记 )" at one or two local department stores,indicating the items she prefers.You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed , but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts.For a baby shower,bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby.
If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft( 手工艺品)or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country.
If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant.
Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a salesperson at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropriate.

28、 I’m leaving for camp for the next seven weeks. This means no more teens life until I get back. It also means I get a break from reality, my phone, my laptop, and all social media. It’s important to my mind!
My first year at summer camp was when I was 9 years old turning 10. I was excited to be in a new environment. That one year changed me forever. This brings me to today. This will be my seventh summer. I text my friends that camp created a special community for me, one close to my heart. And it taught me how to bond with people. Luckily, I got to know a “big sister”—Jane, such a great role model and cheerleader, sweet, and honest, who is now a senior in college.
This year I’m more excited because I’ll join in a tradition I experienced before. I’m finally going to be a “big sister”. The letter says they feel my love for camp, its tradition, and my enthusiasm. All make up what it takes to be a great role model. It was when that I realized I have to do everything to make sure my “sisters” had the best summer at camp.
Every year when I tell people about the camp, I get either crazy eyes, a look of relief or a look of “what the heck?” Either way, I smile at the response(反应). They don’t understand my connection with camp. Camp is my home away from home and my outlet from reality.
I’ll be busy spending each day in nature, laughing until our stomachs hurt, becoming more present with myself, having no stress, letting go, pressing the reset button, and being in my best self. Summer nineteen is going to be amazing.
