Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.

    1     We dance from Shanghai to Tibet, from north to south and river to river. We dance in the square and on stage. We dance at weddings, annual parties and just to fill the time.

“I like dancing,” says Ma Yisha, the owner of a dance studio in Nanning. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Ma runs dance classes for all ages.

“    2     My older students say it makes them feel young. It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”

    3     “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Ma. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.     4    ”

So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, livelier, healthier? Ma says, “    5     Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”

【推荐3】Your sleep position may be more revealing (暴露的) than you think, according to a surprising new study. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

If you curl up (蜷缩) in a ball when you sleep, you are not alone. Over half of people in the study curl up into the position when they hit the sheets. They have a low opinion of themselves and often protect themselves from being hurt. They’re shy and they don’t usually like meeting people. They like to be on their own.

Do you sleep straight, with arms at your sides? If you sleep on your side, you know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

If people reach for the stars, with outstretched (伸展的) arms, they are yearners. They are people who get up in the morning with an excitement to get out there and chase their dreams. These are also people who go after their dreams without a real focus. They can just be time wasters.

If you sleep face down on your stomach, with arms and legs all over the bed in a freefall position, it might mean that you want to control time and space in a way that you don’t feel you have in your waking hours.

【推荐1】Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bears（灰熊）and mountain lions can cross the road.

“Millions of animals die each year on US roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots（豹猫）exist in the US today. The main reason? Road kill.

“Eco-passages（生态通道）” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths（道路）both over and under roads. “These Eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

But do animals actually use the Eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beyer of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an Eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.

Builders of Eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals like grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!

【推荐2】There are four great inventions from ancient China.

The compass (指南针) is a great gift to the world. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find directions. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel.

Paper­making is one of the greatest inventions. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C.~ 9 A.D.), paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A.D.~ 220 A.D.) by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark (树皮), old cloth and so on.

It is said that in the third century a Chinese man wrote about how to make gunpowder (烟花). At first, it was used for making fireworks (烟花). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The way of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Printing was developed in 1041~1048 in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters (字符) on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe.

Rain Water signals（预示）the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming（兴盛）: the river water defreezes（解冻）, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.

According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China, the spring drought is common and the precipitation（降雨量）of this season accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of annual （每年的）average rainfall.

Return of a cold spell（寒冷期）
