Recently, a group of older women from Chongqing made a surprise by winning a national dance challenge.
The Chongqing Aibo Art Group includes women from 52 to 77 years old. It was formed in 2009. In China Central Television 12’s Sunset Glow program broadcast on Jan.3, the women competed against two similar groups from Beijing, finally winning with a dance called Calories.
The dancing women performed a modern dance that wasn’t easy, considering the age of the performers. They impressed the audience with twists and kicks like athletes. Every move was made with strength and power. Deng Xuehui, 66, was the director of Chongqing Aibo Art Group. She chose popular dance styles popular with young people, such as jazz and hip-hop, rather than traditional square dances. In the beginning, some members refused the dance styles, but Deng insisted, and the work finally got popular.
The group has grown over time from six members to more than 50, and has appeared on CCTV 14 times since 2013. In September 2019, the dancing women were invited to perform in New York City and were warmly welcomed by local Chinese people. They practice and perform all year round, except during summer and winter vacations and holidays.
“We are older women, but we are fond of art and life. We represent the positive elderly people of Chongqing,” Deng said. “I’m planning to retire at 80, because we have more stages to dance on and more challenges to face.”
31.How old was Deng Xuehui when the Chongqing Aibo Art Group was formed
A.66 B.77 C.54 D.60
32.The underlined word “insisted” means “________”.
A.维持 B.认定 C.决定 D.坚持
33.What’s the best title for this passage
A.The positive elderly people B.The Chongqing Aibo Art Group
C.A group of older women D.Older women love art and life

The group is made up of 18-year-old Jade Kilduff, her 4-year-old little brother Christian Kilduff, and some others. Aged from 4 to 58, there are 37 children and 28 adults in the group. They sang a beautiful song named This is Me and used sign language (手语).

Their performance touched everyone’s heart. There was not a dry eye in the house. “Every one of you gave a wonderful performance. It was really great.” said one of the judges.
