When she as

9、ked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano. She began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighbourhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them.

10、 This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very profitable occupation.My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes (脚趾) I asked him why, and when he replied “ Because it is beautiful, ” I said that it was ugly

11、and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff (僵硬) and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into whi

12、ch I guessed I might enter if I found the key.My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not prevented. I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how

17、duction.The report said renewable energy projects could reduce the effects of global warming and support Africas economic development. Many African nations are increasing efforts to use more renewable energy such as solar and wind energy. They are moving away from dependence on fossil fuels, such as

18、 oil, coal and natural gas. A change to clean energy is also “economically attractive” in some situations. The UN estimates that Africas increased use of renewable energy will create more than 12 million new jobs.However, Africa has received just two percent$ 60 billionof the $ 2. 8 trillion investe

19、d in renewable energy worldwide in the last 20 years. It also accounts for only three percent of the worlds current renewable energy capacity. More renewable energy programs, such as Kenyas Lake Turkana Wind Power, launched in 2019, are needed. That project is estimated to make up 18 percent of the

20、countrys energy production. The companys chief, Phylip Leferink, said large projects like these can be copied, but difficulties remain.Since 2012, M - Kopa Solar Company has provided services to over 225,000 homes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania using solar power not connected to power lines.

21、s also been expanding its geothermal (地热) and bioenergy use for several years.

The Complicated Problems of Traditional EnergyDOn Tuesday, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region saw 7, 596 new COVID

25、-19 cases, the fourth day with new infections lower than 10, 000. Thats still a big number, but much better than 20,000 or 80,000 daily infections earlier and at the peak. The fifth wave of COVID-19 is finally peaking, with the end not so far away.Behind that positive change are the tireless efforts

26、 of the central government and the people on the mainland. As early as Feb 17, the central government ditched the first team of experts to Hong Kong to help, followed by abundant supplies of medical equipment and materials.That makes it especially absurd for a Bloomberg commentator to claim “the cit

27、y is losing its DNA”. Hong Kongs DNA lies in that of China, not the West. Respect for life, valuing peoples lives and saving lives at all costs is among the values of China from ancient to modern times. When it comes to COVID-19, the only priority is to save lives and avoid more losses, for which te

28、mporary lockdowns of communities and suspending flights are acceptable measures.By saying such measures “restrict peoples freedom”, media outlets not only distort (歪曲) the efforts of the Chinese people, but also misread China. They ignore peoples lives, which is partly why the deaths caused by COVID

29、 - 19 have been over 1 million in the US. Its total infections and deaths both “lead” the world, which could have been avoided had the US learned some lessons from China.With COVID-19 in Hong Kong on the downswing, the city is loosening its mandatory (强制性的) measures, anyway. Thats how freedom is ens

30、ured. Not by standing doing nothing and watching people die, but by taking effective measures to protect the people so COVID-19 is put under control.12.
