PAGE PAGE 1 Unit 5　Rhythm 她们生活在无声的世界里，但是她们从来不抱怨命运的不公。相反，她们每天保持微笑，用乐观的态度和艺术才能证明了残疾可以激发一些美丽的东西。 Goddess of Mercy With a Thousand Hands A troupe (表演团) of 21 dancers makes a Buddhist (佛教徒) image come to life.They live in a world of silence，but they never complain about what fate (命运) has brought them.Instead，they keep smiling，and prove with their artistic talent and optimistic attitude that being disabled can inspire something beautiful. Thats how the astonishing dance known as Goddess of Mercy With a Thousand Hands(千手观音) came into being.In the less-than-six-minute show，21 deaf dancers make what has been an abstract Buddhist image into a tangible (可感知的) being with kind eyes，a variety of hand postures and a spirituality that personifies the benevolence of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva or Goddess of Mercy. Many find it hard to believe the performers are deaf girls. The latest performance is part of a package titled My Dream，put together by the China Disabled Peoples Performing Art Troupe to commemorate (纪念) World Disabled Day. Unlike previous(先前的) shows，the troupe features new faces this time，with dancers all aged around 15，according to their sign-language instructor，Li Wenqian. Since it was established，the troupe has performed in over 70 countries and districts.With the Thousand Hands Dance as its calling card，the troupe has established a charity foundation called My Dream.In the past three years，it has donated 8.5 million yuan to domestic (国内的) charities and some 815，000 yuan to international causes. 阅读上文并回答下列问题 1．How many dancers consist of the image? 【答案】　21 2．What do you think of My Dream? 【答案】　略 SectionⅠ　Reading(Ⅰ) (Warm-up Lesson 1) [新生词汇初识] Ⅰ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思 1．effect　　　　　 A．vt.使失望 2．disappoint B．n.效果，作用 3．extraordinary C．adj.非凡的，特别的 4．unclear D．n.表演；演奏 5．performance E．adj.不清楚的 6．extremely F．adj.有创造力的，创造性的 7．creative G．n.听众；观众
