Among her critics was US dancer Brian Friedman, who wrote on social media: “Growing up as a dancer, I was bullied. She is teaching the world that it is OK to laugh at boys for dancing. ”Today, as more girls are participating in traditionally male activities, like sports, more boys are doing activities that were stereotypically female. Writing for Quartz,Alexandra Ossola said, “They dont have to stay within the traditional bounds of masculinity（阳刚之气）or femininity.Ballet in particular has become a way in which boys and men are exploring new meaning of masculinity and sexuality. “I hope to be part of a generation that can change the boundaries of . . . ballet a generation that says were going to represent everyone,US dancer Preston Chamblee told The New York Times.Spencer said sorry on Aug. 24. “From ballet to anything one wants to explore in life, I say go for it.

If governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of the demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction, says WWF.“We cannot relax for one moment if we are to make it certain that tigers will still exist in the wild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010.” Said Elizabeth Kemt, species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report.Three of the subspecies of tigerthe Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct.

Now, because of television, it is very much a public affair. Hundreds of people gather in Hollywood to see the Oscars presented to outstanding (杰出的) actors, and others involved (参与) in the motion picture industry. Millions more watch on television. It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners. The names of the winners had been known for months. Janet Gaynor, for example, had won as Best Actress. Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue (塑像). The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehow got that renowned name. A number of explanations have been offered for its origin (由来), but nobody knows the true story for certain. Nowadays the results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The counting of votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobody except two members of an accounting (计票) company sees the final results. The information is not kept in open files (卷宗). Winners names are placed in closed envelopes. The accountants each carry a complete set of envelopes to the ceremony. One set is simply a spare to be used in case something happens to the other one. 30. As used in Paragraph 2, renowned means _. A. strange B. wonderful C. much-disliked D. famous31.

One such American expression is “Wheres the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Wheres the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone using it at the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonalds”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendys” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone else. The Wendys Company began to use the expression “Wheres the beef?” to make people know that Wendys hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat.

Heres my advice on how to nail the most common interview question.Most people are so eager to show off what theyve been involved in. Dont worry, and there will be time for that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise. “Tell me about yourself” is a question youre certain to be asked at any job interview. 36 However, sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work.Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. Ive heard people talk about everything from being a world-class sushi chef to an ice carver. 37 Such as you participate in competitive sports, youre an accomplished（技艺高超的）pianist and youre writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning? ” The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for example, shows you have a global perspective. 38 It doesnt matter how big or small the accomplishment is, as long as it shows youre struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction. 39 Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Dont approach the interview like youre trying out for Broadway. Its more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate what youve done or fully invent a story about yourself, youll be exposed. 40 A. Take a risk to get personal.B. Showing honesty is one of the most important things.C. Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge.D. And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned.E. Its also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable.F. Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume.G. “Tell me about yourself” is an invitation for you to share brief information.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分 55分）第一节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1分，满分 40 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。AThe British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other _41_.

It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the _44_ of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The _45_ of Ireland is self-governing. The _46_ name of the Untied Kingdom is _47_ “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”_48_ is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest _49_ of the United Kingdom, so people often use the _50_ “England” and “English” when they _51_ “Britain” and “British”.
