Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When Stephanie Walsh began her dancing journey in her twenties, videos didn't exist. Now in her seventies, the hip-hop grandma has gained worldwide attention with her active dance moves and amazing energy. Walsh, better known as “Ms Stephanie” online, has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing millions of people to watch. “Dance isn't just your body, it's what you're feeling inside about the dance and it's what comes out here in your face，” Walsh said. “That's what I want to put through my movement, how much fun it is, how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn't have the money for classes. So she waited until she was nearly 30 to return to her childhood love. Walsh believes her lifelong passion (热爱) for dance makes what she is today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life，” she said. “It's like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” She went through countless hardships in life, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don't. Whenever she needs a lift, she turns to dance, shining as an inspiration to those around her. At 40 years her junior, Gilbert, one of her followers, said Walsh inspires him every day. “I love that Ms Stephanie is so humble. She's thankful that her videos are getting millions of views, but she still shows up and puts on a show because that's what she wants to do. She's a beautiful soul who taught me that it doesn't matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that's all that matters.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了七旬嘻哈奶奶斯蒂芬妮·沃尔什凭借对舞蹈的热爱和活力在社交媒体上走红的故事，展现了她的舞蹈理念、人生经历及对他人的激励。 1．What does Walsh stress about dance in her remark in paragraph 2?

Nowadays, as pop music and online films are popular with the public，Shaoxing Opera is struggling for its survival.The market of the opera is becoming smaller.It remains popular only with the older generation.According to Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Department, most of the fans of Shaoxing Opera, China's second largest traditional opera, are above 40 years old.And many teenagers know nothing about Shaoxing Opera and have never been to the theatre. Yang Jianxin，head of the department，said，“Now, young people are crazy about other art forms but not the traditional operas.The largest problem for Shaoxing Opera today is how to become acceptable to the young.” Actually，not only Shaoxing Opera but also many other traditional Chinese operas are in danger.That's really worrying.Luckily, people are trying to protect them.For example, Kunqu has been listed as one of the Masterpieces (杰作) of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2001. In 2006, Shaoxing Opera, for the first time in history, entered the pub (酒吧)．It was really a good try to attract the youth.Besides, a Shaoxing Opera group opened a Shaoxing Opera blog on the Internet to invite people，especially the young，to express their opinions about this traditional art form. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国越剧面临的生存困境、原因以及近年来为解决这一现状而进行的一些尝试。 5．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
