Different systems of ballet training have developed, named after countries(Russia, France)or teachers(Italian dancer Enrico Cecchetti, Danish choreographer(舞蹈指导)August Bournonville)．These systems, 1 , differ more in style and emphasis than in the actual 2 taught．
The best 3 to begin a serious study of ballet is eight to ten for girls; boys may begin somewhat later．Younger children may be harmed by the strenuous 4 demands of a ballet class, and older children gradually lose the 5 required to attain good results．Girls usually begin pointe(足尖舞)work after three years of training． 6 training is begun after the late teens, it is probably unrealistic to hope for a professional career．
7 dancers, no matter how experienced or proficient, take daily class to keep their bodies easy to bent and strong．Most ballet classes begin with exercises at the barre, a round horizontal bar that the dancer holds onto for support．These exercises 8 and stretch the muscles, work the tendons(腱，筋)to make them easily bent, and loosen the 9 ．The second part of the class is done without the support of the barre and is called center practice．It usually begins with slow, sustained exercises that develop the dancer's sense of 10 and fluidity of movement．Slow exercises are followed by quick movements, beginning with small jumps and beats and progressing to large traveling steps, turns, and leaps．Class generally lasts an hour and a half．
It is important for you to learn some knowledge about first aid in your 1 life．If a person has an 2 , he needs medical care 3 a doctor can be found．When you give first aid, you must pay attention to 4 things．First, when a person stops 5 , open his/her mouth．Second, if a person cannot breathe, do your best to 6 his/her breathing at once, using a mouth-to-mouth way．Third, if a person is 7 badly, try at once to stop the 8 ．Then take him/her to a doctor．If a person loses one third of his/her blood, he/she 9 die．
Many accidents may 10 at home．All 11 should know first aid in order to deal with 12 injuries which may happen to their children．When a person is 13 by an animal, wash the wound with cold running water before he/she is taken to see a doctor．When a person is 14 , wash and cool the area of the skin under the cold tap for a while．Then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the burn．If the person is badly burnt, take him/her to the doctor．If a person 15 his/her finger, clean it and put a piece of paper round the cut．If a pan of oil 16 fire, 17 the gas first, and then cover the pan quickly．You cannot take it away before the fire is 18 ．
Besides, you must put 19 wires in safe places where children cannot 20 them．Serious accidents may happen if you touch them．Children must be told of the danger．Everybody should know some first aid in order to save ot her people's lives．

I have been interested in animals since before I could remember．When I was four years old, I stayed on a farm where I helped to 1 hens' eggs．I became 2 , and asked those around me,“Where is the hole big enough for the eggs to come out?”When no one answered to my 3 , I hid in a henhouse for some four hours to 4 ．When my mother saw me rushing toward the house, she noticed my 5 ．Instead of scolding me for disappearing for so long(the family had even 6 the police!), she sat down and listened to me tell the wonderful story of how a hen 7 an egg．Then my childhood dream was as strong as ever：I wanted to learn things that no one else knew, uncover secrets through patient 8 ．
I was 9 enough to meet the late(已故的)Louis Leakey, who gave me this 10 chance to find out about the wild chimpanzees, our closest living relatives in the animal world．When I go back there, I see some 11 that I knew in the sixties, and one individual(个体)，her name is Fifi．She was a little baby when I arrived in 12 and she's about 43 years old now, she's the matriarch(女家长)of her community．When I look into her eyes, I think“this is my oldest chimpanzee friend, and she and I 13 memories that no other being in the world shares because they're not there any more．”And when I look into those eyes, I know I'm looking into the eyes of a thinking, feeling being． 14 I'll never know what she thinks about me．It's always a 15 , there's always something to learn．

With their shiny, grey bodies, dolphins(海豚)appear to be large fish． 1 , they are really warm-blooded mammals．Although they can stay under the water for up to 15 minutes 2 , the dolphins must come up to breathe air through a hole on top of their heads．
Dolphins are social animals．Many of them even 3 around humans．In addition to being playful; they are helpful to men．For example 4 400 B．C．the Great poet Arion was saved from 5 by a dolphin．From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers, 6 in trouble．Swimmers, however, are not 7 humans they help．In some parts of the world, they help men 8 fish．
Dolphins are very clever．Its brain is even larger than a human's．Therefore, some people think a dolphin 9 smarter than a man, but 10 , brain size is not the only measure of cleverness．Besides, measuring dolphin's cleverness in other ways is not possible 11 men cannot talk with them．But we can almost 12 that dolphins can talk with each other．They make different 13 which seem to be at least a form of language．Up to now men 14 able to find out how dolphins are talking．So no one really knows what they are thinking．If we could talk with them, perhaps they could teach us to be 15 they seem to be．
