Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing, I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.
However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda, expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment, After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.

In March 2023, 82-year-old Wilf Bishop found himself almost a thousand meters above sea level, snowshoeing(穿雪鞋行走) across a mountainside in Austria. “I’m not a spiritual person, but it felt so peaceful being up there, even though it was not easy,” he says.
Three years earlier, his wife, Janet, had died of cancer. For Bishop who had loved Janet so deeply and had spent a lifetime talking to such a lovely woman, pain overwhelmed him and the silence seemed unbearable. “Besides, since it was the start of the Covid lockdowns, it was very isolating,” he says. Home alone, without the person he had always turned to for support, Bishop went for daily walks in the nearby Yorkshire Dales and tried to write about his experiences. “It distanced me from the pain,” he says. “It put it elsewhere for a while, on to the page, since no one can live with that amount of anguish forever.”
A decade earlier. Bishop had given up skiing out of fear of taking a bad fall and doing damage to his body, but he found himself longing for the experience of being on the mountainside again. “I wanted to find a way of getting back to the outdoors, to experience the soothing wind and the majestic views,” he says. “I also needed it socially.”
A mountaineering friend offered Bishop a possible solution. He suggested that Bishop try snowshoeing instead of skiing. He called up the leaders of a forthcoming week-long expedition being organized by the UK branch pf the Austrian Alpine Club. They assured him that if he could walk, he could snowshoe.
By March 2023, Bishop was in the Tirol mountains in the Alps with a dozen strangers from across Europe and a trained leader. “It was a really strenuous activity, walking up to eight hours a day but I had the most wonderful time,” he says. “Plus, I was with a group of fantastic people, all open-minded, generous and keen to share this experience together.”
Back at home, Bishop eagerly booked another week-long expedition for the next winter. “The snowshoeing trips have encouraged me to get healthier and practice tai chi every morning,” he says. “I’m lucky that I can maintain fitness in my older years and it’s a tremendous ego boost.”
8. What does the underlined word “anguish” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. Pity. B. Anger. C. Pain. D. Anxiety.
9. What did Bishop expect to get by being on the mountainside again
A. Comfort and company. B. Amusement and happiness.
C. Support and encouragement D. Understanding and relaxation.
10. How did Bishop’s friend help Bishop
A. By practicing tai chi with him every morning
B. By turning to a mountaineering club for help.
C. By accompanying him across a mountainside.
D. By encouraging him to be social in the community.
11. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. A New Start from the Mountainside B. Snowshoeing in Austria
C. Bishop and His Wife D. Ways to Overcome Sadness
D
In the worsening economic environment, restaurants are turning to sharing menus to stop hard up customers from cutting back on starters and desserts.
Expenses in restaurants have fallen by 14 percent, from 25. 38 to 21. 80 per head, in part because customers are having main courses only and skipping starters and desserts, the research firm Lumina Intelligence has found. This is also hitting receipts from drinks, with the number of meals including alcohol falling from 38. 5 percent to 33. 9 percent. “To increase profit, restaurants are introducing sharing dishes across courses, including starter and dessert dishes, to encourage customers to spend more,” according to Lumina Intelligence.
Linden Stores, a restaurant that is owned by Laura Christie and her husband and was relocated to the village of Audlem from London in 2020, started a whole new menu of modern British food, with two people sharing seven dishes recently. And, for Christie, it was really a bolt out of the blue. “I wasn’t expecting it be such a hit,” said Christie. “It was quite a new idea for people. We’re in a small village but it turned out we were breaking more boundaries than we’d thought with this sharing concept.”
Linden Stores is not alone in rethinking its menu to make sharing food more commonplace. A large number of restaurants are following this, among which is EI Pastor, a group of Mexican restaurants in London. Actually, stealing your partner’s dessert is a time-honored restaurant tradition, but restaurant owners are increasingly offering two spoons as a matter of course as sharing food becomes the latest way for the hospitality industry to fight the recession.
Sharing works because restaurants have become less formal, Christie believes. “It makes people feel like they’re getting more of an experience. Sharing food offers a delicious and exciting way to put together history, culture, and love. It helps save diners spending per head. It also helps with the efficiency of restaurants, because you know what you’re having to prepare and you need fewer people to deliver it because you know, ahead of time, what you’re doing. ”
12. What is the writing purpose of Paragraph 2
A. To list restaurants’ efforts to make a profit. B. To describe people’s new food preference.
C. To introduce a new topic for discussion. D. To give some background information.
13. What does the underlined part “a bolt out of the blue” mean in Paragraph 3
A. It was quite disturbing. B. It was completely surprising.
C. It was very disappointing. D. It was rather obvious.
14. Why does the writer mention EI Pastor in Paragraph 4
A. To prove the success of Linden Stores’ reform. B. To explain the tradition of sharing food.
C. To show the popularity of sharing menus. D. To express the hospitality of restaurants.
15. What message is conveyed in Christine’s words in the last paragraph
A. Delicious food is vital in the successful running of a restaurant.
B. Good preparation makes a big difference.
C. Sharing menus is a win-win thing.
D. Sharing food helps people bond together.
