22、While many people dream of mermaids（美人鱼），few people actually try to become one.How can someone become a mermaid if they don’t exist?Just ask Dana Richardson,who is a professional mermaid in Hawaii!
“As a child,I always felt very connected to the ocean and played mermaids in the water,”says Dana.“My love of the ocean took me to different types of work such as a lifeguard,swim instructor,boat crew member,underwater photographer,boat captain and surfer.I just decided to take it to the next level and grow a tail.”
Dana doesn’t mean literally（照字面地）.In 2008 she began making mermaid tails from materials including shiny fabric（织物）that she wears while free-diving in the waters around Kona,Hawaii.Free-diving means diving without any protective equipment.It requires you to hold your breath while swimming deep underwater.As she dives in,Dana not only like a mermaid;she experiences what it is like to swim like one too.
The waters around Dana’s home in Kona are filled with wildlife,including dolphins and whales.Kona is by a sheltered sea where the waters are calm for swimming.For ten years Dana has been swimming with the creatures of Kona.Some of them have even learned to recognize her.
Dana knows how to swim with sea life because she is a trained marine(海洋的)naturalist.She understands the behavior of sea life and knows how to safely interact with it.Every morning when she swims with sea life she gets to experience her other“home”.“The ocean beneath the depths really is another world.Watching how the world works so gracefully in the circle of life underwater is a beautiful thing.”
For Dana Richardson being a mermaid just makes sense.“I always felt more comfortable underwater than on land,”she says.
Would you like to follow your dream,even if it seems impossible？Dana Richardson reminds everyone,“One person can truly make a difference.By following your heart and offering the world your unique gifts,you will inspire others to do so.The world needs you!”

23、Whether you’ve been teaching for years or this is your first year in the classroom, there’s no doubt that finding the best strategies for school conferences can be challenging. After years of trying, I’ve come up with a few must-dos that have transformed my conferences. 【1】!
Form a relationship with families before the conference
My number one school conference strategy starts long before the conference dates are scheduled. I make sure that I’ve positively connected with each student’s caregivers well before they sit down with me at conference time. 【2】. When caregivers gain the belief that we’re on the same team and have similar goals,it opens the doors for productive and meaningful conferences.
Consistent Classroom Communication
【3】. Classroom newsletters or other digital updates via educational apps really help caregivers feel informed and included. Simple as it is,this strategy brings great benefits, such as increasing the connections between home and school, giving caregivers a glimpse into daily schedules,routines,and sharing academic content and vocabulary, to name but a few.
【4】
With caregivers’ varied schedules,commitments, other children, and transplantation constraints (限制), I love to be able to offer an alternative to in-person conferences. Offering a phone conference or Zoom conference option for caregivers opens up conferences to those that otherwise would not be able to get to school to meet in person. Involve students and caregivers in the conference process.
Conferences are a time for me to share data, observations, celebrations, and goals with caregivers. 【5】! Conferences are an active conversation among all stakeholders: students, their caregivers, and their teachers.
A．But that’s not all
B．The possibilities are endless
C．Offer times to support all the families
D．Expanded options for conference modes
E．They’ll also make your conference a success
F．It is key to building trust for the entire school year
G．Regular,consistent correspondence is another strategy I use
24、 What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? If your mind is filled with images of Shaolin monks, Bruce Lee, or Kung Fu Panda, you wouldn't be wrong. But for Laurence J. Brahm, an American documentary filmmaker, the first thing that springs to mind is the concept of non-violence.
As Brahm explained, if you break down the character "wu" it consists of two characters: one is "ge" meaning dagger-axe; the other is"zhi" meaning to stop. So, the meaning of martial arts in Chinese is not the art of fighting, a concept that many people take for granted. On the contrary, he said, kung fu is the art of stopping fighting.
Brahm's relationship with kung fu dates back to the 1970s when he was a karate student in Hawaii. "My master always told me that if you want to fully understand karate, you have to go to Shaolin in China. That's where the origin is, "Brahm said. In 1981,he managed to visit the Shaolin Temple, situated at the foot of the Songshan Mountain in Central China, for the very first time. He left the mountain, a little disappointed at not finding the martial-arts spirit he expected. But his passion for kung fu and his desire to find out more were stronger than ever before.
Over the years he trained in many different styles, such as tai chi, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do to understand all of them. "Martial arts can help us connect our body, connect our neural system, connect our blood flow, and also help connect us into our environment to increase our awareness. Martial arts is moving meditation (冥想)," Brahm said, his eyes bright and intense.
But to him, kung fu's charm and values are far more than that. He combined the knowledge from many masters and scholars with his own experience as a practitioner and tutor to extract 12 key principles and values of the martial arts: perseverance, roots, loyalty, respect, harmony, change, balance, centering, emptiness, flow, pragmatism, non-violence.
"Kung fu, in my eves, is a mirror of Chinese culture.” Brahm said “The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people.”
【1】What does Paragraph 2 really want to tell us?
A．The character “ge” means “to stop”.
B．Kung fu is the “art of non-violence”.
C．The character “wu” consists of two characters.
D．Martial arts in Chinese means the “art of fighting”.
【2】How did Brahm manage to get the idea of kung fu’s values?
A．He visited the Shaolin Temple in 1981.
B．He trained in many different styles over the years.
C．His master told him about it when he was in Hawaii.
D．He joined his knowledge and his experience together.
【3】According to the passage, which word can best describe Brahm?
A．Determined.
B．Energetic.
C．Confident.
D．Friendly.
