22、 A 45-second video of a Nigerian boy dancing barefoot in the rain has landed the aspiring (有抱负的) dancer a scholarship to New York's ABT Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Dance, one of America's most outstanding ballet schools.
The boy Anthony's dance video spread quickly on social media with hundreds of thousands of views from people all over the globe.
The video eventually caught the attention of Cynthia Harvey, a former principal dancer of American Ballet Theatre and the current artistic director of the ABT Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Dance.
“A friend who lives in the UK sent me the video,” Harvey told Cincinatti Enquirer. “Within a day, I was trying to find him.”
Two days later, Harvey managed to contact the boy and his teacher. Soon after, she offered a full scholarship so Anthony could attend the ABT virtual Young Dancer Summer Workshop, a three-week intensive program. “You just have to help a child who shows this much devotion, she said.
Anthony's teacher, Daniel Ajala Owoseni, is a self-taught dancer who opened the Leap of Dance Academy in his own small home.
The video of Anthony was filmed outside of his home due to limited space inside.
“It made us just feel very astonished and grateful. We cannot believe our eyes, and so much support, sometimes we think we're dreaming. God has been so gracious to us by providing all these things. Anthony is very excited and has always been a hard worker. He is happy to continue pursuing his dreams and have this opportunity.” Owoseni told Boredpanda.

23、At 14, Fraser Doherty was busy making jam after his grandparents taught him a family recipe. He started selling jars of his jam door to door near his parents’ home in Edinburgh. As interest grew, his hobby stated to turn into a business. He now makes 40,000 jars of jam a month and is well on his way to making his first million.
Doherty, who has been chosen to represent Britain in the Global Students Entrepreneurs Awards in Chicago next month, said there are several advantages to having started young: “As a young person you have a different view of the world. You have a naivety and an optimism and are willing to give things a shot. The downside for me isn’t particularly scary. I don’t have a mortgage or kids to worry about so I didn’t have a huge amount to lose if my idea had not worked.”
Duncan Cheatle, founder of The Supper Club, a forum for established entrepreneurs in London, agreed that becoming an entrepreneur at a young age has a lot to recommend it.
“For young people there is no concept of thinking outside the box because there isn’t a box. There is capacity in young people to see things in a different way that older people lose. And often not being an expert in something can be helpful because if you don’t understand why something works in a certain way, you will decide to do it differently.”
Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, the home business website, said that young people were much more confident about using technology as a base for their business than the older generation. “Whole sectors that didn’t exist ten years ago are coming up now because young entrepreneurs are challenging all previous rules and saying technology means that we can do things like this. They have an open capacity to think of new ideas and as a result they are starting very interesting businesses.”
【1】According to Doherty, is the competitive edge of young people starting business compared with the older generation?
A.ignorance of the reality
B.naïve pursuit of a hobby
C.readiness to try things out
D.parents shouldering the financial burden
【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means young people .
A.are reluctant to obey the existing rules
B.are not bound by established ways of doing things
C.have superior ideas to those of the older generation
D.will not fall into traps that old people set up for them
【3】Which of the following statements will Emma Jones most likely agree with?
A.Abandoning all previous rules is a must to establish new sectors.
B.As people grow older, they are less able to take a fresh approach.
C.Those lacking confidence are less able to start creative businesses.
D.The use of technology contributes to the creation of new businesses.
【4】The purpose of this passage is to .
A.inform readers of success stories of young entrepreneurs
B.introduce opinions on the advantages of being young entrepreneurs
C.convince young people to follow the trend and start their own businesses
D.provide specific guidance on how to become successful young entrepreneurs
24、“OK class. Count off by fives.” 【1】 Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does. Other times, it signals the start of “group project” which means you’ll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment.
【2】 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could do alone. 【3】
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with — maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten. 【4】 For example, working on a deadline staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it.
【5】 If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for (给……加油) you!
A.Few of us act alone in the real world.
B.Why is this type of project so popular in school?
C.With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
D.Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.
E.Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of.
F.When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what’s coming next.
G.One key to a good meeting is having a leader who should help the group stay focused.
