Breakdancing, also known as breaking, will be an Olympic sport for the first time in 2024. To attract younger people to watch sports games, breaking is becoming a new event at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Paris 2024 Olympics will see 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls compete in one-on-one “battles”. The top finishers will get the Olympic prize.

Breaking is a kind of street dance. It is also part of the hip hop movement. It grew up together with hip hop during the early 1970s. It was really popular among African American and Latin American young people.

In the past, people wouldn't believe that street dance could become an Olympic sport. However, it comes true now. When the International Olympic Committee says breakdancing will be added to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, a lot of people are excited. “It is a historic time not only for b-boys and b-girls, but for all dancers around the world. We thank everyone who helped make it possible,” says Shawn Tay, president of the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF). WDSF is happy about the result and it will prepare for the breakdancing competition to make the event unforgettable.

Skateboarding, surfing and rock-climbing are also becoming the 2024 Paris Olympic events. In fact, the three new sports have already been added to the program for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. These new sports are going to make Olympics more attractive.

It's Sunday afternoon and the weather is sunny and hot, My friends and I are in a large and beautiful park. We' re having a good time. 

Jack and Tom are swinging. Steve, Alice, John and Tim are playing hide-and-seek (捉迷藏). Rose, Mary and Lisa are skipping (跳绳). They re good at skipping. Susan is reading a book. Tina and Kate are chasing after my pet dog. They 're running around happily. 

We can see a lot of people in the park. Some are running and some are walking slowly. Look!

A boy and a girl are drawing pictures. Their parents are sitting next to them. They' re talking about something. 

Everyone is having a good time in the park. The park is a great place to have fun. 

No.5 Middle School asked the students to make a survey(调查). The question was" What is your dream job?" There were 200 students taking part in the survey. Here are the results.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 on April the 23rd. His father was an important man in the town, so Shakespeare had a good childhood. Shakespeare probably went to school but not university. He got married when he was 18 to Anne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children.

Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets. He began working in his hometown of Stratford, but by 1592, he began writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and another in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies (悲剧) like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories called comedies, romantic stories and stories about history, such as Julius Caesar.

Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why are his works still popular today? His works looked into common human themes (主题) . They are a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and in modern soap operas and Hollywood films.

We feel Shakespeare's influence (影响) on the English language today. We talk about "fair play", meaning honest behavior, and this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression of "disappear into thin air", which we still use it today when we lose something. Besides, Shakespeare's works have been translated into many other languages in the world.

①What should you take when you take an exam? Pen, an eraser, a ruler… don't forget a bottle of water!

②Scientist at the University of East London and the University of Westminster did a study on 400 students. Only 100 of them took something to drink. Scientist then compared(比较) their exam results with their usual scores. They found those who had brought drinks with them all got better scores by between 2 and 10 percent.

③" We don't know why drinking water can be helpful. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies may also cut down(减轻) their nervous feeling. This kind of feeling would be bad for exam performances," said Chris Pawson, PHD of the University of East London.

④" Whatever the explanation(解释) is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated(含水的) during exams," he added.

⑤So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows— it may help you get higher scores.
