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.

①Understand that learning is not just about memorizing facts from books or listening to teachers talk. Learning is an adventure, and the best way to learn is to explore and experience things on your own. This means asking questions, trying new things, and making mistakes along the way. At times, you might feel frustrated when you don't understand something right away. But remember, it's very normal to struggle while learning. Learning is a process and it usually takes time, and everyone learns at their own pace. If you keep trying and don't give up, you'll finally understand it by yourself. 

②     ▲         Imagine yourself as a scientist, an inventor, or an explorer. Pretend you're on a mission（任务）to find out the mysteries of the world. This can make learning process more exciting and fun. 

③Another important thing to remember is to take breaks when you need them. It's okay to step away from your studies for a while and do something else you enjoy. This can help you relax and recharge, so you'll be ready to deal with your studies with a fresh mind after a break. 

④Lastly, don't be afraid to ask for help when you really need it. Whether it's from a teacher, a parent, or a friend, there are always people who are willing to lend you a hand. Asking for help shows that you're looking forward to learning and improving, and that's something to be proud of. 

⑤So remember, learning is an adventure full of unexpected difficulties. For this reason, it'll be necessary for everyone to enjoy the journey, keep exploring, and never stop asking questions. Who knows what amazing things you'll meet along the way? Each step of learning is a stepping stone toward a brighter future. 

A few years ago,I visited theclassical gardens of Suzhou. During the visit, my attention {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(draw) away from the plants, bridges and stones, towards {#blank#}2{#/blank#} walls of the gardens. Mostly white, some parts of the walls are losing small {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(piece) of their coverings.

 This creates space in which light and plants can be seen. The walls are not only the boundaries of the gardens, but they also form protected roads {#blank#}4{#/blank#} guide you on a trip.

 The memory of the white walls stayed with me. I kept imagining how many shadows(影) could be collected {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them to dance with the light. This fantastic moment was so {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (live) that I came back to explore with my camera.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(walk) freely with these walls and their marks, I began to feel like collecting all the stories that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) painted there. Weather and time have turned these amazing white walls into Chinese landscape paintings.

I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(take) the photos during the month of June, just after the rain. The air was full of small   drops of water, showing the light and the color of the things around. As color was born out of a dance between light and a body, when photographing in color I found {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(I) enjoying a moment of this dance.

The Beijing Central Axis(中轴线) shows a group of buildings and archaeological (考古的) sites that follow the traditional Chinese way of planning a capital city. It has been added to the UNESCO ( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage List, becoming China's 59th World Heritage Site.

Stretching 7.8 kilometers north to south through the heart of Beijing, the property includes 15 parts, with the Bell and Drum Towers at the northern end and Yongdingmen Gate at the southern end. The complex includes imperial palaces and gardens, sacrificial(祭祀的) buildings, ancient city management facilities(设施), national ceremonial (仪式的) and public buildings, and central axis road remains.

According to Lyu Zhou from Tsinghua University, there is a description of this way of planning cities in the Kaogongji《考工记》( Book of Diverse Crafts), written before 221BC.

The book mentions " court in the front, market in the back," which matches the Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area. It also includes " an ancestral temple on the left, an altar of land and grain on the right," referring to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Alt ar of Land and Grain, located on the east and west sides of the Central Axis.

Construction of the Beijing Central Axis began in the 13^th century and took shape in the 16^th century. It has been refined over the past seven centuries and continues to influence Beijing's development today.

" The Beijing Central Axis is a symbol of traditional Chinese ideas and beliefs, showing national order and the Chinese tradition of inclusion and diversity," Lyu added.
