26、   Glancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry. "It's okay: honey.” I tried to encourage." Come and play with the other children.” But the more I persuaded, the more tears flowed.

Every week for the past eighteen years, I've spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason, Nicole saw this as the final kiss of death.

In her mind, she was going to be left all alone with a strange woman and several other children. Uncontrollable tears rapidly started to flow and there wouldn't be enough tissues in the whole building to mop up the flood.

Tip toeing quickly to the door, I gently called to her father." Just sit in here for a while until she warms up.” I said. Standing next to his first born, Rich took his daughter's hand and led her to the centre of the room. Slowly he pushed, but again the damn broke. "Daddy, don't leave me!" Nicole cried. "Don't make me do this." Bending down on his knees until they were nose-to-nose, Rich gently whispered in her ear, “I'll do it with you. There's nothing to be afraid of." Holding her entire young hand around his middle two fingers, the pair went on to skip around the floor.

“Wow!" I cheered. "You deserve a prize. I've never seen a dad do that before.”

For a brief second, Rich paused, and then with a smile, he replied, "Isn't this part of the job?"'

That wonderful moment was two years ago and I've thought of it often, especially when I see how well Nicole performs in class. More importantly, however, I've remembered it because it takes me back to my own dance beginnings with my father.

From the moment I was born, music spoke to me. The moment the radio or record player was turned on, I moved my arms and legs about the room in wild fashion. Most of the time, I was fine to perform alone, but the minute my dad walked into the room, I'd jump into his arms, hug him tight and place my tiny feet on top of his highly shined shoes.

While this memory is sweet, the real reason I hold it dear to my heart is because of what went behind his action. My father was not the most gifted creature on two legs when it came to dancing, but he'd stepped out of his comfort zone(区域）and danced because he knew how much I loved it. For him, helping his only daughter develop, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel, was part of his job.

As a child, my father did what he was told and lived as expected But when it came to his own children, he allowed us the chance to follow our own path and we were never forced to be like him, live like him or think like him. He provided an environment where my three brothers and I were permitted to explore our own jungle until we found the life that was right for us.

To all the fathers who've influenced your children's lives by stepping out of your comfort zones to dance, whether it is in mind, body or soul--this one's for you! You give a child the courage to stand on the center stage of life.

【1】Why was Nicole so sad at her first dancing class?

A.She was asked to mop up the floor.

B.She had to be left with the strangers.

C.She didn't like the oversized dress.

D.She was threatened by the older boys.

【2】What does the father mean by saying "Isn't this part of the job?” in Paragraph 6?

A.Dancing with their daughter is a father's part-time job.

B.It's a father's job to force her daughter to learn dancing.

C.Fathers are always there to help their daughter if necessary.

D.Fathers are required to accompany their daughter in dancing classes.

【3】What do we know about the author's father?

A.He was fond of dancing.

B.He liked to make choices for his children.

C.He required his children to follow his path.

D.He tried to live up to his parents' expectations.

B.Her father encouraged her to dance when she was unwilling to do so.

C.Her father tried to please her although he was not comfortable about dancing.

D.Her father was patient enough when he was dancing with her.

27、The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year

Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2022 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.

Qaanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan

Photographer Kiliii Yuyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.

Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter

It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.

Minneriya. Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton

Photographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.

The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was collapsing in economic decline. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

29、   Nzulezo in Jomoro district of western Ghana has coexisted with nature for many centuries. Here, all of life’s chores (家常杂务) from the preparation of meals to children going to school take place on water.

The first people in Nzulezo came from Mali in the 15th century. Many centuries after, people in Nzulezo still live in wooden buildings. Every family in modern Nzulezo has its own street, and every street is named after the head of that family. Every family member also owns a boat. It’s the only way of travelling there.

People in Nzulezo have kept their traditional way of living for many centuries, but they have introduced certain modern comforts such as clectricity, which means they no longer depend on kerosene (煤油) and lanterns to power up.

They also hope to build a 24-hour healthcare center. The locals have to travel five kilometers by boat to see a doctor.

Being on water also makes it hard to find teachers to teach Nzulezo children. Cudjoe, a teacher in Nzulezo, says that there aren’t enough payments to make teachers stay. Though there are glaring challenges, some of Cudjoe’s students have left Nzulezo for further education, including university, and they are thriving, he says. “I have a lady, she’s now a nurse, and I have a man who is now in university. Plenty of them are now in senior high outside the village. They are doing well.”

But while people in Nzulezo are open to satisfying some modern needs, they still feel strongly about keeping their traditional lifestyle. “Our life here is very comfortable for us. We cook here, we enjoy ourselves, we entertain ourselves, the children also. We prefer to stay,” says a local elder, John Arthur.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 focus on?

A.The rise and fall of Nzulezo. B.Nzulezo’s dependence on boats.

C.The origin of streets in Nzulezo. D.Nzulezo’s traditional way of living.

【2】What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Suffering. B.Succeeding.

C.Returning. D.Researching.

【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A.Village over the River Coming to Shore

B.Nzulezo Giving Way to Modern Comforts

C.Floating Village Balancing Traditions in Modern World

D.Nzulezo Drawing Attention to Traditional Floating Life

The Best Nourishment(营养)of Life

Andrew almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because a disease in his childhood made his leg lame(瘸的)and his teeth uneven. He was always afraid of being looked down upon. Therefore, he seldom played with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word, except in biology class, which was his favorite subject.

One spring, his Dad brought home a box of flower sprouts(花苗), such as roses and carnations(康乃馨). He wanted to have them planted in front of the house. He asked each child to choose one, “I will give you a month to raise the flowers. Then I will see whose flower grows best. The winner will be bought a favorite gift.” Andrew was always longing for DK Children’s Encyclopedia(百科全书). At Dad’s words, he was especially pleased. He chose a red rose. In the following days, he, together with his brother and sister, was busy watering, feeding and tending the flower sprouts carefully. But to his sorrow, his rose sprout didn’t grow as strong as his brother’s and sister’s. Instead, it bent towards the ground and turned yellow and then brown. Obviously, it was dying. “Just my luck. As terrible as I am.”he sighed and left disappointedly, determined not to attend to it at all.

Unexpectedly, he happened to pass the flower a few days later and was surprised to find it didn’t wilt(枯萎)but grew some fresh leaves instead. Compared with the flowers of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more lively. For the first time, he thought good luck favored him.

That night, lying on the bed, he suddenly recalled the biology teacher once said that plants generally grow at night. “Why not go to see the flower?” he thought.
