Question

【题目】Almost a year after Michael Jackson s death, the spirit of King of Pop appears to live on a 4-year-old Chinese boy, who is fast becoming internationally popular.

Wang Yiming, who is known as Xiao Bao, has already been making waves across the world with his dance moves.

A favorite of Chinese media, Xiao Bao draws curious crowds whenever he breaks into a dance routine, which his mother says happens almost every time he hears music. "When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving around like this，"his mother said. "When he was just a couple of months old, we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down，" she told Reuters Television.

Xiao Bao was born prematurely (早产），and doc-tors suggested moving his body to music would do good to him, but his parents were surprised by how quickly and interestedly he took to the rhythm.

Dancing since he was two years old, he has now mastered the moon walk and other Jackson moves, such as Beat It, Billie Jean and Dangerous.

Before long, his passion turned into an obsession (着迷）——the family spends up to 20，000 yuan a month on dance training with a professional and outfits including tailor-made suits, hats and shirts.
