Dancing is popular all over the world. People dance in theaters, in parks or in their own living room. But Yang Liu, a woman in Guizhou, dances in an unusual place. Her dancing place is a bamboo pole（竹竿）.
Yang is a performer of bamboo drifting（独竹漂）. It is a traditional skill（技术）in the girl's hometown. In the past, the local people were so poor that there were few bridges over the river for people to walk across. They crossed the rivers by riding on a bamboo pole. Now, bamboo drifting has become a folk sport.
Yang started to learn bamboo drifting at the age of seven. The bamboo pole is very slippery and it never stops moving. Yang fell into the water again and again. But the girl didn't want to give up. She always got back up on the pole and tried again. She practiced hard every day for three years. Finally, she was able to keep her balance on the pole.
But Yang didn't just stop there. She wanted to live out her dream of becoming a dancer on a bamboo pole. The girl practiced many difficult movements on the pole. She failed lots of times, but she never stopped trying.
Her hard work finally paid off. Now 26, Yang has made a name for herself as a dancer on a bamboo pole. People can't believe their eyes whenever they watch her performances. Through Yang's dances, many people now know about bamboo drifting. They have learned the beauty of this traditional skill.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how: |
Step 1: Boil the eggs.
Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath. |
Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter! |
Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be. |
Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don't leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. |
Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes，but real blood isn't scary at all. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers.
Blood donors are those giving blood﹣usually about 200 ml at a time﹣to blood banks or blood donation（捐赠）centers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}For example，someone may have lost blood in accidents，or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced. Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand.

Afterward，the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy. The process is simple，not scary. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
To give blood，a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements. Students of all ages，though，can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}It is also an easy way to help a community.
