There was a sweet smell of incense (香)in the air as the we 11-muscled man moved his legs into a position well behind his head. It was something that the human body really should not be able to do. But what else would you expect at the First World Yoga Champion?ship?

On September 25， the world's leading yoga experts arrived in the US to find out who was the best. But the real prize was to turn yoga into a proper Olympic event.

"Yoga is a combination of bodybuilding ， Miss World, Mr Universe and gymnastics, " said champion?ship organizer Bikram Choudhury. " There are some 70 people from more than 20 countries competing in this event. Why not have yoga at the Olympics?"

The public cannot decide whether or not Chouldhury's dream will come true. But he is right about one thing: yoga has become popular with young and old people all over the world. In the US alone, 15 million people practise yoga. Everyone is at it, including Madonna and Ricky Martin.

Yoga started in India more than 5 ， 000 years ago. The name means "to join together". That is to bring the body and mind together into one pleasing experience. The whole system of yoga is built on three things: exer?cise, breathing and meditation(沉思).

The yoga that we know today is mostly physical yo?ga. It's seen as a type of exercise, but is different from sports like football or running. When we do yoga, we move our body into positions that stretch the muscles and joints, making them stronger.

One of the best things about yoga is the fact that everyone can do it. To women, it means a flat stomach, more shapely legs and a graceful body. To men, it is a way of becoming stronger and more athletic.

There are also specially-designed yoga classes for pregnant women or children suffering from mental disa?bilities, such as autism (孤独症).As for teenagers, meditation and simple breathing exercises can help them learn to calm down, relax and concentrate better. But teenagers under 16 are not supposed to do the body ex?ercises as they could have a bad effect on their natural growth.

Dear Daddy ，

I just want to say Happy Father's Day and also Happy Birthday* since to?day is also your birthday.

I want to tell you something that I probably never told you before. First of all, I know you had always been the type of American father that didn't show lots of love. You were a little harder on your boys, then you were your girls. But in fact we know you always spoiled us girls.

I know that I didn't visit you as often as 1 should have and I didn't call you either, and for this I am truly sorry. I should have spent more time with you and we could have a good long talk, because I did truly enjoy the talks that we had. You were also one of those people that were always fun to be around and could always make us laugh. I enjoyed the time we spent together and al?though I probably never told you before, but I did appreciate everything you ever did for me.

Mum, my sister and I went to see you this morning and spent some time with you. We couldn't let your birthday and Father's Day go by without pay?ing you a visit. We placed some flowers on your headstone(墓碑)and someone had left a flag on there as well. Probably it's one of my brothers. 1 kept think?ing about that February windy day back in 1992 when we laid you in the ground and how I just wanted to scream, "Don't put my daddy in the ground; it's dark down there.，，

Daddy, I hope that you are still smiling up in heaven the way I remember you when you were alive. I shall see you again soon. 1 will keep it. Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day. I love you and always will.

Yours ， Jane

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the sit?uations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world lan?guage. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the im?portant works in science? technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these coun?tries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as govern?ment, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
