Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basis, there’s nothing like it. Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time.
1.
The first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. Don’t worry; this happens to all.
2.
The most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this? By practice, Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort.
3.
Confident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed.While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling(滑漿), that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke(滑動).Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process.Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling.Now, try the same thing using the other foot.Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.
4.
Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed.Try some of your own tricks now.Scull with either foot or with both at the same time.
5.
While you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other.You can do that simultaneously with both feet.Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going.If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone.
A. Find Another to Practise with You
B. Increase Your Speed Now
C. Gain Your Courage
D. Stand Straight
E. Maintain Speed
F. Scull and Be Aware
G. Confidence is What You Need

One October morning, I got off the all-night train in Mandalay, a city in Myanmar. A rough man came up and offered to show me around. The price he asked was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home. So I climbed into his trishaw(三輪車).
As he was showing me around, he told me how he had come to the city from his village. He’d earned a degree in mathematics. His dream was to be a teacher. But of course, life is hard here, and so for now, this was the only way he could make a living. Many nights, he told me, he actually slept in his trishaw so he could catch the first visitors off the all-night train.
And very soon, we found that in certain ways, we had so much in common---we were both in our 20s, we were both fascinated by foreign cultures----that he invited me home.
So we turned off the wide, crowded streets, and came to rough, wild alleyways(小巷). I really lost my sense of where I was, and realized that I could easily get cheated or something even worse.
Finally, he stopped and led me into a hut. And then he reached under his bed. Something in me froze. I waited to see what he would pull out. And finally he took out a box. Inside it was every single letter he had ever received from visitors from abroad.
So when we said goodbye that night, I realized he had also shown me the secret point of travel, which is to go inwardly(向內(nèi)心)as well as outwardly to places you would never go otherwise, to go into uncertainty, even fear.
At home, its dangerously easy to think we’re on top of things. Out in the world, you are reminded every moment that you’re not, and you can’t get to the bottom of things, either.
1.What do we know about the trishaw puller?
A. He used to be a teacher B. He works very hard
C. He is a foreigner in Myanmar D. He received little education
2.Why did the author freeze in front of the bed?
A. He was feeling very cold
B. He didn’t expect to see the letters
C. He was shocked by the room’s bad condition
D. He thought the young man was going to hurt him
3.What is the author’s opinion on travel?
A. Fear nothing
B. Follow your heart
C. Enjoy the beauty of life
D. Be prepared for the unexpected
4.What does the phrase “get to the bottom of things” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Solve the problems
B. Find out the truth
C. Get to know the place really
D. Learn about the bottom of society

“Don’t get discouraged, Hallie,” Kathy said, comforting her with a hug. “It sounds as if you have a bit of a mystery to solve. Maybe you should do a little spying on Maya.”
Feeling better, Hallie put on her scuba gear(潛水服)again and waited. Maya, the dolphin, had been swimming playfully, but suddenly she threw herself to the back of the tank where the filter box(過濾箱)was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away.
Hallie followed Maya. “What was she doing here?” she wondered. When she looked behind the box, her question was answered. She swam back and saw Maya was in front of Kathy with a comb in her mouth waiting for her treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that?” demanded Kathy, taking the comb and throwing her a fish.
“I know,” declared Hallie, handing Kathy a handful of items, “I followed her to the filter box and these are what I found.”
From the look on Kathy’s face, Hallie knew everything was beginning to come to light.
“Do you remember the other day you said that Maya really liked her treats?” asked Kathy.“Well, I think this was more than a training exercise for Maya. Every time you found something in the tank, that meant one less fish for Maya. She couldn’t bring all the items to me at once, so she found a hiding place for them. That way you came up empty-handed, but Maya would always get her treat.”
“Okay, Maya,” said Hallie facing the dolphin, “you win! The treats are all yours.”
Maya dived down, and then jumped out of the water, turning herself over in midair. Shaking their heads in disbelief, Hallie and Kathy reached for the fish. Maya deserved the treat.
1.What was the “mystery” in the story?
A. The secret of Maya’s finding the items.
B. The secret of Hallie’s winning the game.
C. The reason for Maya’s liking her treats.
D. The reason for Hallie’s spying on Maya.
2.Maya hid the items because she considered Hallie as a ________.
A. spy
B. competitor
C. playmate
D. trainer
3.At the end of the story, Hallie and Kathy thought Maya was ________.
A. energetic
B. genuine
C. loyal
D. smart

Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.
Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eyes see. At the age of 90,he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world.”
1.The ugly cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _______.
A. make us try to notice something hidden in the things
B. allow us to ask questions about them
C. force us to question anything we see
D. cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
2.The underlined sentence “Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _____.
A. sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
B. he broke something he was painting and threw them away
C. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
D. things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder
3.Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world?”
A. Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
B. Because he looked young when he was old.
C. Because he never stopped painting he was old.
D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.
