The Beauty of Movement Dance andExpressionThe beauty of movement, dance, and expression is a universal language that transcends barriers and speaks to the depths of our souls. It is a form of artthat allows individuals to convey their emotions, tell stories, and connect with others on a profound level. In this essay, I will explore the various perspectives on the beauty of movement, highlighting its significance in different contexts and its impact on individuals and society as a whole. From a personal perspective,the beauty of movement lies in its ability to express emotions that words oftenfail to capture. When words fall short, dance steps in, allowing individuals to communicate their deepest joys, sorrows, and everything in between. The fluidityof movement, the grace of a dancer's body, and the emotions conveyed through every gesture create a powerful and captivating experience for both the performer andthe audience. It is through movement that we can truly connect with our own emotions and those of others, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding. From a cultural perspective, dance and movement hold immense significance.Different cultures have their own unique dance forms, each with its own history, symbolism, and meaning. These dances often serve as a way to preserve and pass on cultural traditions and stories from one generation to another. They provide a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human history and serve as a reminder of our shared humanity. Whether it's the vibrant flamenco of Spain, the graceful balletof Russia, or the energetic bhangra of Punjab, each dance form tells a story and reflects the values, beliefs, and experiences of a particular culture. Inaddition to its cultural significance, movement and dance also play a crucial role in physical and mental well-being. Engaging in dance and movement activities has been shown to improve physical fitness, flexibility, and coordination. It is aform of exercise that not only strengthens the body but also uplifts the spirit. The rhythmic and repetitive nature of dance has a calming effect on the mind, reducing stress and anxiety. It allows individuals to enter a state of flow, where they are fully present in the moment, free from worries and distractions. Moreover, dance has been used as a form of therapy, helping individuals cope with trauma,express their emotions, and heal from within. From a societal perspective, the beauty of movement lies in its power to bring people together and foster a senseof community. Dance has the ability to transcend social, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, uniting people from diverse backgrounds in a shared experience. It isa form of expression that breaks down barriers and promotes inclusivity. Dance festivals, performances, and competitions serve as platforms for individuals to showcase their talent, celebrate their culture, and connect with others who share the same passion. Moreover, dance has the potential to inspire social change and raise awareness about important issues. Through powerful movements and choreography, dancers can shed light on social injustices, challenge societal norms, and advocate for positive change. In conclusion, the beauty of movement, dance, and expression is multifaceted and holds different meanings for different individuals and communities. It is a form of art that transcends language, culture, and boundaries, allowing individuals to express their emotions, preserve cultural traditions, improve physical and mental well-being, and foster a sense of community. The power of movement lies in its ability to touch the depths of our souls, connect us with our own emotions, and unite us with others in a shared experience. Whether it's the elegance of ballet, the passion of tango, or the exuberance of hip-hop, dance has the power to move us in more ways than one.。

Unit 4 Body language Period 4 Using Language课后阅读作业Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhat does it take to be a good neighbor? Over the years I have hadall kinds of neighbors, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is torespect the personal privacy(隐私). When someone new moves into the neighborhood, you’d better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbors that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.It is a good idea to always be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. This can not only make you get along well with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, it shows that you like them and try to be friendly. If you are cordial(热诚的)to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.Another way of being a good neighbor is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty, it is good to offer your help. Even though you haven’t talked a lot to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in need.In conclusion, if you respect their personal privacy, treat them cordially and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!【语篇概述】俗语说得好“远亲不如近邻”, 你和你的邻居相处得好吗? 邻里之间该如何去做呢?1.

大学英语五禽戏原文The Five-animal Exercise, as a means of physical training in ancient China, was created by Hua Tuo, an eminent doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He summarized the traditional practice of our predecessors' building up their physical strength by imitating the animal movements, and created a set of healthcare gymnastics, i. e. the Five-animal Exercise, which consisted of five groups of actions imitating the movements and manners of the tigers, deer ,bears, apes and birds. It is a thousand years earlier than the medical gymnastics contrived by the Swedish. At one time, seeing a kid playing with the door-latch, Hua Tuo immediately thought of a wise saying "Running water is never stale and a door-hinge never gets worm-eaten" , which further reminded him of the fact that most of the illnesses were actually caused by the circulation hindrance and stagnation of Qi and blood, and people, if doing exerases regularly like a door-hinge, would improve their health and immunize themselves from illness. As a result, Hua Tuo was absorbed in researching into the ways for the physical buildup once he had time. He, referring to the" Physical and Breathing Exercise" used by people at the time when doingphysical training, thought about making improvements constantly in accordance with the movements of various animals, the result of which was the creation of a set of fist techniques imitating the movements and manners of the tigers, deer, apes, bears and birds. This set of fist techniques, by imitating the quick pouncing of the tigers,light galloping of the deer, nimble jumping of the apes, slow-paced walking of the bears and wing-spreading flying of the birds, can clear your head and brighten your eyes, improve your heart and lung functions, strengthen your waist and kid-ney, and lubricate your joints, thus contributing to the overall buildup of your body.It is simple and easy to learn; anyone, whether men or women, old or young, can choose part of it for physical training at first, and then practice the whole set of actions as their physical buildup is gradually improved .Not only is the Five-animal Ex-erase good for your health and longevity, but for the eradication of your illnesses.Just as Hua Tuo said, "If feeling uncomfortable, you can do the Five-animal Exercise; as you perspire, you will get relaxed and feel like eating. " In recent years,the Five-animal Exercise, as a means of rehabilitation treatment, has been widely used as an auxiliary treatment of people suffering from such illnesses as stroke se-quelae,rheumarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osseous hyperplasia.。

必修4 Unit 4 Body language身体语言晨读·记忆A MisunderstandingIn general, spokenstatements are the major way of communication, but body language and facial expressions also have such kind of function. For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one’s b a ck to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures. Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads.Once, representing the Adult s’ Educa tion Association, I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks. As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face.Later, I received a cassette from him, in which he recorded his apology. On hearing that Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.一场误会通常说来，口头表达是人们交流的主要方法，但是肢体语言和面部表情也有这种功能。

when asked，say “Did you drink juice at the picnic？” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child isconsciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as“What did you have at the picnic？”But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question.That is，children become likely to answer falsely.And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to“Try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”5.What do we know about gestures according to the text?A.They have a certain effect on children.B.They are rarely used by people.C.They have no function at all.D.They are often used by social workers.6.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?A.These gestures are very attractive.B.Their memories are affected easily.C.Children are easy to tell lies.D.These gestures are used frequently.7.What does the underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 mean?A.Separate.B.Tell apart.C.Confuse.D.Pass on.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Gestures—A Useful Way of EducationB.Gestures Can Mislead ChildrenC.Gestures Mean Adult’s DirectionsD.Gestures Affect Children LittleⅡ.完形填空Do you listen？Do you really listen？Is there more to listening than just hearing?

一、阅读选择(阅读理解)文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了语言和动作在表达感情时的一些现象。

1. We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in many cultures. So does laughter and crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behaviour patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest “anger” in Chinese whereas in English it means “surprise”. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretch out their tongues”! “Sticking out your tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognising fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognise or understand body language than younger people do.1. According to the passage,________.A．we can hardly understand what people’s gestures meanB．we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC．words can be better understood by older peopleD．gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot2. In the same culture,________.A．people have different abilities to understand and express feelingsB．people have the same understanding of somethingC．people never fail to understand each otherD．people are equally intelligent3. From this passage,we can conclude ________.A．words are used as frequently as gesturesB．words are often difficult to be understoodC．words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings D．gestures are more efficiently used than words4. The best title for this passage may be “________”.A．Words and feelingsB．Words, gestures and feelingsC．Gestures and feelingsD．Culture and understanding。

Ⅰ.阅读理解ARecently||，I had lunch with a young Chinese student who studies at a college in New York.He is very bright and aspiring and I enjoyed our conversation.Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news.Graduating at the end of this year||，he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.In recent years||，students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their HIB working visa.And the success rates have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of st year||，there were 233||，000 applicants||，and only 30 percent of them were lucky||，less than half of the rate in 2019.And it can only become President Donald Trump's immigration policies in this country are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years.In this case||，foreign students studying social sciences||，a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount||，can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.Compared to the older generation of Chinese students||，today's young people no longer consider the US as the only option.Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.This is not to say that Chinese students in the US are not interested in job opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them leverage when they finally land back in their home country.But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy||，I expect there will be a decline.And if that happens||，it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of those educated||，hard-working and talented immigrants.[语篇解读]本文为一篇记叙文||。
