Are dancers really just athletes? They are similarities between them and it has long been acknowledged that its level of fitness is remarkably similar In fact, experiments which footballers played part in training sessions with dancers showed that it was the players who got tired first! Many people already view dancers like elite athletes Unfortunately, what is also apparent is that while dancers possess an enviable range of flexibility, not mentioning amazing muscular strength, they are also highly susceptible for injury And apart from those who are lucky enough to dance at the highest level, they may have little real support when something serious occur, so careers can be cut short To return to an original question, much would argue that dancers are more than athletes While training equal hard, they have the added pressure of looking beautiful and making everything appear effortless So it is not only the physical capabilities of the dancers that people admire but also the grace and artistry with which they perform PART THREE: READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage and fill each of the numbered blanks with ONE suitable word (5 pts) Linguists believe that early man used many gestures to communicate with one another This, it is thought, was man’s first form of (1) ………… and the only one he had for a long period of time Even today we use some sign language, for example, we shake our (2) ………… to indicate ‘yes’ or ‘no’, we point and we wave The first spoken words may have been early man’s attempt to (3) ………… the sounds made by animals Then, he may have developed sounds (4) ………… his own Gradually, man may have repeated certain sounds (5) ………… often that they became familiar and understandable to others Once spoken language had begun, perhaps man invented new words as he needed them to (6) ………… himself verbally or to name new objects In this (7) ………… , we can imagine language growing Page of By using words, parents were able to teach them to their children The children in (8) ………… probably made up new ones Each generation, therefore, in the development of language, knew more words than the generation (9) ………… it Language is still growing and changing Can you think of some words you use today (10) ………… were not used by your parents or grandparents when they were children?
