Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations(工业国) that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly.Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.So they are called “diseases of civilization (文明)”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks (心脏病)and strokes(中风)are examples of such diseases.

Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol(酒精) or tobacco, probably none.Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.

Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals.They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits.They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods.We eat six times more salt than stone-age people.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein(蛋白质)and much less vitamin C.

People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.

At the moment when looking round the world, all kinds of dance performances are being offered. There are competitions that claim to be a World Cup or World Championship, and the young dancer or the dance teacher who wants to enter his students might be quite confused. Which is which? Which is of high standard and good quality, and which is not worth going to? First of all it has clearly got to be distinguished between the different styles of dance and the purpose of such competitions. When a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she would never dream of going to a ballroom teacher. Such a teacher might even have been world champion in his ballroom dancing, but he would definitely not be qualified in teaching proper classical ballet.

People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.

The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions.

The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art.

Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.

The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (标新立异) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

1.If a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she will go to         .

A.the Ballet Rambert                       B.a ballroom teacher

C.a world champion                         D.a qualified school

2.The underlined phrase “new talent” in Para. 3 probably means         .

    A.new programs                         B.new audiences

    C.avant – garde productions            D.skilled young dancers

3.From the passage we know that the Ballet Rambert          .

    A.has succeeded in making modern dance popular

    B.wanted to become the oldest dance company

    C.was once a popular dance company

    D.changed old dance into new ones

4.This passage is mainly about          .

    A.the popularity of modern dance

    B.the introduction to new modern dancers

    C.the development of the Ballet Rambert

    D.the high standard of dance performances
