    Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.

Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女),Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.

Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.

Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.

During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”

It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?

1.Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?

A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.

B.The audience didn’t like her performance.

C.She injured her arm in a training course.

D.She had to look after her family.

2.Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?

A.To help Meryl with her problems.

B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.

C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.

D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.

3.In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.

A.benefits people’s mental health

B.should be taught at primary school

C.is less attractive to the young

D.raises people’s interest in art

4.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.

C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.

D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.
