Flamenco is a typical dance and music in the south of Spain, exactly in the Andalusian region.
1.The roots of Flamenco come from different cultures and countries such as Morocco, Egypt, and India.2. Among the Spanish cities with more tradition in Flamenco are Cadiz, Granada, and Sevilla.3. They are a good singer, a Spanish guitar, and a good dancer. Normally, the scene of a flamenco show is a plank(厚木板) floor, and it can be in any theater or bar… but for something different in Granada, you can see Flanmenco in typical caves where families of gypsy people lived in ancient times.
Flamenco is divided into two groups, the group of singers and the groups of dancers. The groups of singers is normally formed of men who sing and play the Spanish guitar.4. The men usually wear black suits, and the soles of their shoes are mental.
The group of dancers is usually formed of women.5. The most beautiful thing in this part is how fast they can move their feet and the sound you can listen to. The sound of the shoes has the same rhythm as the music. It’s wonderful! It’s common, too , to see a couple of dancers dancing together.
A. Flamenco is definitely a great art!
B. The women help them by clapping their hands.
C. They wear beautiful and colorful dresses.
D. There are three principle things needed to do flamenco.
E. However, the first flamenco in Spain dates back to 1760.
F. The sound from the soles of the dancers’ shoes made me feel happy.
G. It was brought to Spain by gypsy people coming from Eastern Europe in the 15th century.
When was the last time you saw some dolphins at an aquarium? Was it fun to watch? Do you think the dolphins enjoyed it? A new film shows just exactly where some of these dolphins come from. And it isn't pleasant.
The Cove is a documentary film with a lot of blood…dolphin blood. It's all about dolphin drive hunting, which is a method of hunting dolphins that fishermen use. They use boats to drive the dolphins into a bay or onto a beach. Once there, the dolphins are prevented from escaping and are then killed in the water with knives or spears.
The dolphins are mostly hunted for their meat, but some are captured and ended up in dolphinariums, including the world famous Sea World parks. This form of dolphin killing takes place in many places around the world. There are dolphin drive hunts in the Solomon Islands, Peru and the Faroe Islands.
The Cove focuses on a particular dolphin hunt near the town of Taiji in Japan.
Every year, more than 2,000 dolphins are driven into a cove near the town and killed. The documentary film is directed by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos, and was made secretly throughout 2007 using underwater microphones, and a hidden camera. Also appearing in the film is Ric O’ Barry, the director of saving Japan dolphins, and also a marine mammal expert. He trained dolphins for the popular 1960s TV series Flipper. He is praised for having started the dolphin entertainment industry but has spent most of his life fighting against it.
So what do the people of Taiji think about it? Many feel that they are being unfairly selected out. The town of Taiji has a 400-year history of whale and dolphin hunting and its fishermen only catch about 20% of Japan's yearly dolphin quota(份额).
Masashi Nishimura, manager of the Japan Fisheries Association's International section said,“ I don't think it's a big topic here,” he said, “as long as the killing is humane（人道的）, dolphins are like other animals to us.”
But for many people, dolphins are special. They are clearly highly intelligent mammals and they often form strong bonds of friendship with humans. Primates such as chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are all protected species. Should these levels of protection be extended to marine mammals too? Many believe they should.
1.Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?
A.Fishermen use boats to drive the dolphins into a bay.
B.There are dolphin drive hunts in the Solomon Island.
C.Underwater microphones were used to make the film.
D.All the dolphins caught in Japan are sold for meat.
2.What is Masashi Nishimura’s attitude towards the killings?
A.Cold. B.Regretful.
C.Unfair D.unsupportive
3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To introduce a documentary film The Cove.
B.To show how The Cove was made.
C.To encourage people to protect dolphins.
D.To describe what is happening to dolphins.
Limited to a narrow seat for hours with just a tiny bag of cookies and orange juice to comfort yourself, the last thing you feel like doing when you get off a plane is to wait around for your bags. The easy choice when traveling has been to limit yourself to a carry-on suitcase and pray it fits in the overhead bin. Not only does it get you out of the airport faster but it’s also free. Not any longer, however.
Recently, some airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags, and travelers aren’t at all happy about it. Packing light might not be a choice anymore when looking for tips to get the best airfare possible.
Some smaller airlines such as Frontier and Spirit have always charged customers for carry-on bags, but now bigger name airlines, such as United, are starting to do it too. When you buy a Basic Economy ticket through United，you’re not allowed a full-size carry-on bag unless you’re a Mileageplus Premier member. If you forget to check your bag before security and bring it all the way to the gate, not only will you pay the checked-bag fee, but you’ll have to pay an additional $ 25 gate handling charge. Not the best way to start off a trip. Don’t miss these additional things airlines don’t want to tell you but every flier should be aware of.
You might think that the new carry-on bag guidelines are due to space limitations in the overhead bins, but it has more to do with on-time rates（准时率）. Aviation economies experts and seniors vice president of ICF Aviation Samuel Engel told Vox that the biggest bottleneck when it comes to boarding is carry-on luggage. For every minute a plane isn’t in the air, it’s losing money. A delayed flight makes the crew(乘务人员) look bad and passengers very angry So, the next time you fly, plan to check your bag before security, pay a bit more for your ticket so you are allowed a carry-on, or try rolling a week’s worth of clothes into a backpack, a still-allowed “personal item”.
1.What does the first paragraph intend to tell?
A.People’s anger during a flight B.People’s attitude toward waiting for luggage
C.Convenience for carry-on suitcases D.New policies for free carry-on suitcases
2.Which of the following is NOT the reason why more airlines begin to charge for carry-ons?
A.Space limitations. B.Passengers’ support
C.On-time rates D.Increasing costs.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Tips for dealing with increasing carry-on rates
B.Instructions before taking a flight
C.Passengers’complaints(抱怨) about the airlines.
D.More airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags
