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.

Many people may feel tired and upset every Monday since it is the first day of weekdays.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Make a list of what you want to do

Instead of focusing on the difficult tasks that are ahead of you, think about all the good to come. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about. For example, simple things that can cheer you up like meeting a friend for coffee.

Make sure of enough sleep on Sunday evenings

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Poor sleep can cause stress (压力), while healthy sleep can cheer you up. So, if you find yourself a little more annoyed than normal, sleep may be the answer. Take a short break or get to bed earlier. It's worth doing this on Sunday to avoid feeling tired on Monday morning.

Wear what you like

Don't underestimate (低估) the power of your clothes. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}They suggest we should put on clothes that can bring us happiness. In short, Monday is the best day for you to wear what makes you feel great.

Arrange (安排) something relaxing for yourself

After a weekend of fun, it might be best to keep Monday's schedule a little lighter than other days. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}It means that instead of facing the most difficult tasks on Monday, you can put time into some easier tasks. Putting less stress on yourself is a good way to deal with the Monday blues.

A. Sleep has a great effect on your mood (情绪).

B. This doesn't mean sitting around and doing nothing.

C. Here are some tips to help you feel better on Monday.

D. Here are some ways to help you get enough sleep during the weekend.

E. Make a list by writing out some things that you are looking forward to.

F. In fact, scientists think there is a strong connection between clothing and the mood.

①Are you a shy person? Do you expect to become outgoing? Being outgoing can help a lot in your life. In fact, being outgoing is not as hard as you think. Here is some advice on how to become outgoing.

②You can start to try becoming outgoing when you stay with your friends. But the real challenge(挑战) comes when you meet strangers or new friends. Smile at them, and usually they will smile at you, too. You may find it easy to start talking in this way.

③Start a talk positively(积极地). Try to speak first. Simple greetings such as" Hello!"" How is it going?" and" It's a little cloudy today, isn't it?" are a good start. After that, you can talk more. For example, you can talk about the latest news. But you'd better read some news in newspapers and have your own ideas first. Or you may find that you won't have much to say.

④The best way to become outgoing is to go out. It is also a very important step. Usually those who like to do the same things can get to know each other better. If you like playing sports, go to a sports club. You may make many new friends there if you get over your shyness.

Third, listen to what your parents have to say. How can you e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} them to listen to you if you are not ready to listen to them? In addition, your parents were once young like you, so they understand your s{#blank#}2{#/blank#}better than you think.

Finally, if you do not get a s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}result, try not to get too angry. Talk with your parents and find out their reason. Part of growing up is learning to l{#blank#}4{#/blank#}with these kinds of d{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, and learning to understand another person's way of looking at things.
