If you' ve ever wondered how dancers would tell the story of a man and a woman's love for each other through dance moves,you should watch people dance the Rumba. 36 And it is considered the most passionate(富有激情的) ballroom dance.
Like many Latin dances,the Rumba has its roots(根源) in Africa. When the Spanish first moved to the New World,they brought African slaves to work for them. 37 When they were finished with a hard day's work,they would sometimes find the person they were in love with and dance the Rumba. 38 They wanted to dance the Rumba in public! .
The dance slowly spread and grew in popularity. Then,in the 1930s,the famous dance teacher Monsieur Pierre saw the Rumba being danced in New York and he decided it was so exciting and interesting it should be danced in London'too. 39
Today there are several types of Rumba people dance. Some dance a type of Rumba that is
very fast and features (以…为特点) big movements. 40 No matter what type of Rumba people dance,the story the dance tells is still the same: the love between a man and a woman.

When a golfer plays on any golf cours, he or she expects the course has a lot of hazards(障碍区) like sands,woods,and ponds of water. There is one special golf course,though,where along with these hazards that stand still,the player must expect to compete against hundreds of moving hazards. The golf course is on Christmas Island. The island is an area of Australia in the Indian Ocean,the third largest ocean in the world,lying between Africa and Australia. The moving hazards are bright red,four-and-one-half-inch (11. 4cm) crabs(螃蟹) .
Over 150 million of these brightly colored crabs live in the island's rainforests. Every year,starting around November,the crabs migrate (迁移) . They leave the rainforest and make their way to the ocean. They arrive at the coast after one to three weeks. But thQ males (雄性）return to the rainforest earlier than the females,who return about two weeks later after producing up to 100,000 eggs.
On Christmas Island there is a golf course I built on the crabs’ migration route. During the
migration season,there are hundreds of red crabs moving on the course. The rules of the Christmas Island Golf Club say that all players must treat the crabs as they would treat any other hazard. They cannot move them,and they must play around them. If a walking crab happens to knock a ball while it is on the green,hitting it into a hole,the ball is considered “in”.
Just as the golfers must compete against a moving hazard,so must the crabs. People have built roads that run through the crabs migration route. Unluckily,up to two million crabs are killed by passing vehicles every year. People are trying to reduce the number by putting up “Crab Crossing”signs and closing certain roads during the migration season.
