When I was young,I worked in San Francisco. I did my job well and my future was promising. I was alone in the world and I was happy. I didn't have to work on Saturdays. I enjoyed my time off in my little sailboat on San Francisco Bay. One Saturday afternoon,I sailed out too far. The strong wind pushed my sailboat out of the bay,into the Pacific Ocean
That night,when I had lost all hope,a small British boat saw me and took me on board. The boat was sailing to London. The voyage was long and stormy. I worked as a sailor to pay for my trip.
When I arrived in London,my clothes were old and dirty. I had only one dollar in my pocket. With this dollar,I ate and slept for the first twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four hours,I didn't eat and I didn't sleep. The following morning,I went to Portland Place. I saw a child walking past,holding a big pear. The child ate one small piece and then threw the pear onto the street.
I stopped and looked at it. I was very hungry and I really wanted that pear. But every time I tried to get it, someone passed by and looked at me. I quickly turned in the other direction and waited for the person to pass by. I tried again and again to get that pear,but the same thing happened. I was hopeless. But soon I made a determination(决心)to get the pear and not to worry about the people who saw me.
Then,a gentleman opened a window behind me and said,"Come in here,please. "A well-dressed servant took me into a beautiful room. Here,two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something important. Their breakfast was still on the table. I was very hungry and I stared at their breakfast. I want to tell the reader that the two gentlemen had made a bet(打赌)several days before. I knew nothing about the bet until later. Let me tell you what happened.

Why is it called breaking? Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City, US. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical " breaks", which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip- hop culture around the world. | How to breakdance? Breaking has four kinds of moves. A " top rock" is when a breaker dances| while standing up. A" down rock" is when a breaker dances on the floor, moving their arms and kicking their| legs. A " freeze" is when a dancer stops in the middle in a cool position, like standing on their head or| balancing with one hand. " Power moves" are really fast spins and twists that look like the dancer is flying or| spinning like a top. | ▲ Anyone can be a B- girl or a B- boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Victor Montalvo is a B- boy from the US. " Breaking is amazing. It doesn't matter what color you are, who you are, where you're from: it welcomes all kinds of people," he says. " It's all about peace, love, unity, and having fun." |
