Unit 5　Section Warming Up Reading—Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A As your mum and dad always say: practise, practise，practise! Thats how you get really good at something，and thats exactly what dancer Kaeli Ware has done for most of her 14 years. The Leesburg teen is on her first tour with the musical “Brothers of the Knight，” which opens at Warner Theatre. “Ive been dancing since I was 2 years old，” she said. “My mum is a dance teacher. At first I didnt really have a choice, but now I love it. Its what I want to do every day.” Three years ago, Kaeli was attending Harper Park Middle School in Leesburg. Then she started home-schooling in order to have more time to dance. “She works hard，” said Adrienne Dellas-Thornton，the artistic director at Kirov Academy in Washington, where Kaeli studies. Every day except Sunday, Kaeli gets up at 6 am to go to Kirov Academy. There she dances for three hours. After that she rests, eats and does schoolwork. At 4：30 pm, she starts dancing again at the Ashburn, studio where her mother teaches. She finally gets to bed around 11：30 pm after doing more homework. “Its a lot of work, but I just keep pushing，” Kaeli said. Classical ballet (古典芭蕾舞) is a big part of Kaelis studies because, she says, ballet is the foundation for other types of dancing. But Kaeli misses doing other types of dancing，such as hip-hop or tap. “Even in hip-hop, you need correct posture (姿势)，” she says. She calls the way she dances in the show “lyrical (热情的)”， in part because there are words that go with her dancing. “It is like ballet, but it is a lot more powerful. I think thats why I like it so much.” 【文章大意】　本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一位年轻的舞蹈演员。 1. The text mainly introduces ________.
