Ⅰ.阅读理解

When I was about six years old，my mother came home one day and found that I had
collected half a dozen babies of the neighbourhood—all of them too young to walk—and had them
sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms.When she asked the
explanation of this，I informed her that it was my school of dance.She was amused，and placing
herself at the piano.She began to play for me.This school continued and became very popular.Later
on，little girls of the neighbourhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach
them.This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very profitable occupation.
My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher，but his lessons did not please me.When the
teacher told me to stand on my toes(脚趾) I asked him why，and when he replied “Because it is
beautiful，” I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class，
never to return.This stiff(僵硬的) and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only
disturbed my dream.I dreamed of a different dance.I did not know just what it would be，but I was
feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.
My art was already in me when I was a little girl，and it was owing to the heroic and
adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not prevented.I believe that whatever the child is going
to do in life should be begun when it is very young.I wonder how many parents realize that by the
so-called education they are giving their children ， they are only driving them into the
commonplace，and taking away from them any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.

In today’s rapidly changing society，children are increasingly seeking independence and
pursuing their own interests.However，as parents，you ought to take care of your own children
and have a better understanding of them in the following cases.
Schoolwork becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up.So this is a time when some
kids begin to do better in their schoolwork while others struggle to understand more advanced and
more difficult lessons.When they get home，talk with them about their school lessons and find out
what they don’t understand.It’s a chance for you to stay close with your children as before and
get them to relax.
For many families，homework can be a serious struggle.Many school-age kids are reluctant
to sit down and study for a spelling test or complete their math homework.It’s natural for them to
be bored with their homework，but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to
finish their homework when they get home.
Many children today lead busy lives filled with various extracurricular activities such as
sports，music，and after-school programs.While these activities can be beneficial for their
personal growth and development，parents should also be mindful of striking a balance and
ensuring that their children engage in physical activities.In an era where screens and digital devices
are prevalent，some children may be inclined to spend excessive hours indoors，leading to a
sedentary lifestyle.As parents，it becomes crucial to encourage and motivate children to be
physically active through outdoor play，team sports，or even regular exercise routines.
Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too.Attending birthday parties or
playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development.
Bullying(恃强凌弱的行为) can become a problem around this age.It’s important to talk to
your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary
for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target.

Regenerative tourism is a concept that is gaining attraction in the travel industry.It is different
from sustainable tourism in that it goes beyond just minimizing the negative impact of tourism.It is
a philosophy that aims to not only minimize the negative impact of tourism but also to actively
contribute to the regeneration of local ecosystems，economies，and cultures.
The concept of regenerative tourism is not new.Native communities around the world have
been practicing regenerative tourism for centuries.However，it has gained renewed interest in
recent years due to the growing awareness of the impact of tourism on the environment and the
need for sustainable travel practices，particularly post-pandemic—indeed it could even be argued
that，as the global tourism industry and those who depend on it start to recover，tourism in itself
is a regenerative act.
One example of regenerative tourism is ecotourism.Ecotourism involves traveling to natural
areas with the aim of learning about and conserving the environment.It involves activities such as
hiking ， bird watching ， and wildlife viewing.Another example of regenerative tourism is
community-based tourism.Community-based tourism involves staying with local communities and
participating in their cultural activities，such as our Buffalo Curd Experience in Sri Lanka，or our
Rice Wine Trek in Laos.Regenerative tourism can also involve the use of sustainable and
regenerative practices in the tourism industry itself.For example，hotels can use renewable energy
sources，reduce their water consumption，and use sustainable materials in their construction.
The benefits of regenerative tourism are many.However，carrying out regenerative tourism
practices requires a shift in mindset and a commitment to sustainability.It requires tourism
businesses to not only minimize their negative impact but to actively contribute to the regeneration
of the environment and communities.It requires tourists to be conscious of their impact and to
choose travel options in line with their values.
In conclusion，regenerative tourism is a promising concept that has the potential to transform
the travel industry.By actively contributing to the regeneration of local ecosystems，economies，
and cultures，regenerative tourism can create a better future for both people and the planet.
9．What is the aim of the regenerative tourism?
