    For all his life,my grandfather has lived in the Valley of Koi.A rushing river and the Eagle Mountain divide the valley into two.They keep the villagers safe from wolves.The soil is so rich that our crops seem to grow well by themselves,and even the precious (珍贵的) fire flowers can be found here.

    Although life in the valley was good,my grandfather still worried about his people.The mountain and river kept danger out,but they also kept us far away from the world."We must find a way to reach out to other villages,"Grandfather said,"to trade,exchange stories and make friends.If we do not,Koi will one day disappear."

    One day,grandfather saw a spider (蜘蛛) in his garden.He bent down to look more closely and saw it building a web between two grasses.Suddenly,Grandfather knew what the people of Koi must do.

    Many villagers were skeptical . "It comes easily to the spider,but it is so difficult for humans,"they didn't believe it possible."We cannot fly through the air like a spider.And what would happen if strangers learned where the fire flowers grew?"

    "If I were a fire flower,I would rather be picked from the earth and loved than left alone and unseen,"Grandfather said.Some of the villagers agreed.After that,the strongest men and women of Koi began to work.Finally,the bridge was finished!My grandfather was the first Koi villager ever to stand on the far bank of the river.When he reached the other side,a stranger came to greet him friendly with a precious ice flower as a gift to share with us.

    Our village is still small and quiet,but we are no longer shut away from the world.Next spring,I'm going to walk through the mountain to enjoy the ice flowers,I would also like to meet more strangers from other places and share them fire flowers of Koi.

Here is some "breaking" news: the International Olympic Committee(IOC)has added(增加)breaking(霹雳舞)to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! 

Breaking might be one of the very unusual sports to be added to the Games, as it's often seen as more of an art than a sport. 

The dance style first appeared(出现)on the streets of New York in the1970s. Performers dance to hip-hop music while using different movements. In the1980s, breaking swept around the world when it was adopted by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Jackson's moonwalk became popular among teenagers worldwide. 

Why did the IOC choose breaking? Over the past few years, the Olympics has become less interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more "youthful", with sports that young people actually do in their spare time. "We want to take sports to the youth," said IOC President. 

To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and by women in no fewer than 40 countries. Breaking certainly meets this standard(标准), according to The Sydney Morning Herald. It is also competitive(有竞争力的)and requires strict training just like other sports. Dancers need to have the strong upper body and core(核心)strength. 

"I train at least 10 hours a week, and I've been training since I was a young kid," top Australian break dancer Lowe said. 

"It's great that it gives us more recognition(认可)as a sport," said British break dancer Karam. "Now, the efforts of break dancers are gradually accepted and even admired by a growing number of people. And for the Olympics, it will attract young people who may not follow some of the traditional sports."
