A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装）I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the rain，watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation.

Luckily，the rain began to stop after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man．

“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order．you see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool(傻瓜). That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

27、Street dance is an energetic and exciting type of dance. It started with people dancing in the street rather than in studio（练功房）.

Break dancing and the Melbourne Shuffle are two examples of street dance. Many of the hip-pop dances are popular street dance. Even rave dancing is a type of street dance. Street dance changes and improves all the time as people try different moves. It is a form of dancing that boys really enjoy.

A school in Britain has seen how street dance has helped its pupils. They introduced it as a subject at school. Dance teachers went to the school to teach the students how to perform. The dances were rehearsed at lunch breaks and after school. Many of the students were from homes with many problems. The students also used to behave badly. When the street dance classes started, it seemed to solve many of these problems. The students felt that they could express their feelings in dancing. If they were angry, they could do some of the dance moves and throw away those feelings. If they were angry at something, dancing helped them to be more peaceful. Another good thing was that the students felt better about themselves.

The students focused on other subjects more. They got better grades. Taking part in the street dance also taught the students to work better with others. They needed discipline（纪律）to come to practice and to learn the dance steps. They entered a dance competition and won! This was very good for them. The younger students began following them. They are active role models.

Today bands have formed that combine（结合）singing with street dance. Street dance is becoming a popular culture.

28、缺词填空，根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you,  “Don’t climb trees. It’s d  【1】  .” But Xiamen University is going to have a new class： Tree-climbing.

Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised a  【2】  the course there.

In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students c  【3】only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like t  【4】 used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect t  【5】  . And they use ropes so that they can not f  【6】   and get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are e  【7】  to learn the skills, like swimming in and after class by the teacher. In a time of disaster such as floods, earthquake, etc., such knowledge may make a d  【8】  between life and death.

No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn(与生俱来的) skills and talents. An all-knowing teacher should no longer see the child as an e  【9】 cup and only pour knowledge into it.

I hope climbing trees will w  【10】 up the potential(潜能) in many students.
