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.

Hello, I'm Mike. I like singing, too. My favorite color is green. I'm in Class 6. My telephone number is 765-8825. I like spring. It's warm in spring.

Hi, I'm Yang Ling. I'm from China. I'm in Class 5, too. I like reading books. I have many books about animals. There is one dog, two cats and a bird in my house. I like autumn. The weather is cool in autumn.

Know the meaning of success. You cannot have success if you don't know what it means to you. Set clear goals and be realistic (实际的). Make sure your goals can be achieved, or you will spend all your time running after an unclear goal. 

Learn from successful people. Look aroundwho has the success that you are interested in? What are they doing? How do they make a successful life?  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   Ask them for advice. Spend time around them if you can. Learn from them. They will bring you much meaningful experience. 

Don't be afraid of risks. Successful people think big and act big. It can be hard to do, but if you don't, then how will you ever be successful?{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Dig them out. Successful people experience some degree of risks. Study your risks, and be brave. 

 {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Successful people like solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you are doing, look around and try to think of ways you can find. For example, what are people fighting with or complaining(抱怨) about? How can you make life easier for them in a good way?

 {#blank#}4{#/blank#} You should learn to hold on. It is also the key to success. Thomas Edison ever said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10, 000 ways that won't work. " So if your first try doesn't work, don't give up.

What else can you do to be successful? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

 When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand? These days, buying second-hand things is becoming more popular. 

 Many people have extra things to get rid of. In recent years, people have made more money and bought far more than they need, according to a speech by Wei Ying, founder of an online second-hand book-trading site. At the same time, more people are becoming interested in minimalism (极简主义). 

 Second-hand things are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money. It's also good for the environment. In 2020, the mass of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. Instead of making new things, it's a better choice to reuse old things. 

 People can even find some" extinct"(绝版的) things, or things that are no longer made. For example, some people like to buy vintage (复古的) things, including clothes and shoes. These things often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they're in good condition, people can still use them.
