I started dancing 70 years ago. That's right, 70 years as everybody says.
Everybody thinks that ballet is a very 1 career, and I really thought that I was going to be finished in my 20s. And so now it seems amazing that I am still dancing at the age of 77. 2 , people think I'm unusual.
I love children and I love them to enjoy ballet. I know some of them will not continue forever, 3 I think ballet teaches more than just dance. It teaches them respect（尊重）for each other.
In London during the war, we always went to the ballet and I always loved it. And I really wasn't very talented. The main thing was that I had wonderful teachers, and my husband was one of them. He always 4 me. He always thought I was a good dancer. But I don't have him now. Ballet has been my main love .
Life is too short, do what you want to do. Whether it's painting, ballet or yoga— 5 you really love to do—it's never too late. So start doing what you love doing now.

A new robot may change the future. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is "a language model trained in a number of Internet text to help users get human-like text. "
Compared with Siri or other chatbots （聊天机器人）, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database （数据 库）for training. It also learns things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make it right. "It's a totally different product/, computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. "The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is similar to a university student. That's why it shocked the world. , , Many people worry about if this robot will take the place of humans in the future.
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives unreal information.
Since the robot is trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet's biases （偏见）about certain groups, These are all things that need to be dealt with. It still has a long way to go.

The history of Teachers' Day dates back to the Han Dynasty. According to record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27 of the lunar calendar each year, the birthday of Confucius （孔子）, the emperor would go to the Confucius' Temple to show great honor to Confucius. He would also worship （敬拜）the great old teachers, and invite royal teachers to dinner. And on that day, teachers enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts. Besides, the best teachers who were chosen from the whole country would be given 500 liang（两）silver coins each as prizes.
Normally, in ancient times, there was no fixed tuition fee（学费）；the parents paid with money or food. Sometimes calligraphy works, paintings as well as books may be given to the teachers as gifts.
Among all the gift-giving traditions, the first meeting gift was a must. There were many traditions when students met their teachers for the first time. Before they met their teachers, they needed to tidy themselves and get well dressed. Before giving their teachers a they needed to kowtow （磕头）to Confucius' picture and then to their private teachers.

In some areas of Yunnan, when winter comes, people sit around a fire and bake tea in pottery pots. After the tea leaves are roasted, people add hot water to boil them. While tea, they chat with each other and bake fruits over the fire which is a common scene in these areas.
Today, the topic of "boiling tea around a stove", has become popular on the Internet . On the social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of views on the topic has also been over 12 million.

Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so addicted to （上瘾）smartphones but easily bored by studying?
It's all because of something small and hard to see: dopamine. Our brains release it when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we are rewarded（奖赏）.
For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine, said US author Steven Kotler. But why?
When we scroll （滑动）on social media, we don't know what we'll see next, or who will comment on our posts. This uncertainty, or "the magic of maybe", makes the dopamine system active, according to the popular science website Guokr.
When our expectations are met, dopamine is released. And to get more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn't provide such uncertainty.
Can we do something to change that? According to Harvard Medical School's Trevor Haynes, apps can become less addictive if we turn off notifications （通知）or change the screen colors to black and white.
As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it, said Daniel Wong, author of The Happy Student. You could also explore interesting topics related to your textbook, This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.

Face changing, or Bian Lian in Chinese, is an important part of Sichuan Opera. It started about 300 years ago. And it is one of the great treasures in traditional Chinese culture. The changing faces show different feelings of actors in a special way.
People think face changing has something to do with fighting against dangerous animals. In ancient times, when people met with dangerous animals, they painted colorful pictures on their faces to scare the animals away. Later, people used this in the shows of Sichuan Opera. And as time went by, it turned into a great form of art.
Face changing is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious arts, and only the masters really know how it works. Many people are curious about the secret of face-changing. Generally, there are three face-changing techniques （技巧）:
•Mopping（抹脸）
The performer mops out the colorful greasepaints（油彩）which are hidden in a certain part of his face to change his facial appearance when necessary.
•Blowing （吹脸）
The performer blows powder hidden in his hands or a small box on the stage so that it blows back onto his face following with his move.
•Pulling（扯脸）
The performer can pull down a mask which has been hidden on the top of his head ahead of time, changing his face into red, green, blue or black to express happiness, hate, anger or sadness. This technique is so complicated that the performer must move quickly yet smoothly to achieve the amazing effect.
Face changing is an ever-changing art, and it continues to develop with technology. By the early 1900s, artists could switch up to 3 masks each performance. By the 1990s, artists could employ up to 4 masks, and by 2000, the number rose to 8. Nowadays, using silk masks and modern technology, artists can change 18 to 20 different masks.
