If you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer then why not try your hand at dancing?

That’s exactly what I did five years ago and I immediately fell in love with dancing. To me, dancing is a magical experience: I’ve become fitter, look younger and feel more confident. I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.

It’s very sociable as well. You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away. Haven’t you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled (重燃) old ones? My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.

The word “Ceroc” comes from the French language. Without the complicated footwork, it is easier to pick up by beginners. Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don’t have to bring a dancing partner.

Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.

No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is for sure: you will become fitter. For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen. It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination(协调) and increases your physical confidence.

Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor. The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction(交流). As long as you do the right moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly keep an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner!

1.What do we know about the writer?

A. He has 2 left feet and dance with hands.

B. He learns magic while dancing.

C. He becomes younger after dancing.

D. He shows a keen interest in dancing.

2.The writer mentions her friend’s big day in order to ______.

A. suggest that marriage is good for young people

B. show that dancing can help social relationship

C. prove that dancing makes people more beautiful

D. introduce two very good dancers to readers

3.Which of the following is TRUE about Ceroc?

A. It’s a dance organization.　　 B. It’s a dance starting from France.

C. It’s a dance suitable for beginners.　　 D. It’s a popular ballroom dance.

4.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce some types of dance to the readers.

B. To prove the benefits of dancing to the readers.

C. To indicate the importance of dancing in social relationship.

D. To show the connection between dancing and health.

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”

So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．

1.From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．

A．mistakes are unnecessary for development

B．we are afraid of trying new thing

C．it’s common for people to make mistakes

D．mistakes are better than not trying

2.The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．

A．avoid             B．remove           C．accept            D．solve

3.According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is________．

A．avoiding making the same mistakes

B．accepting the punishment willingly

C．taking consequences into account

D．trying things out one by one

4.What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
