I was born to dance I've been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave up a dancing career on the stage when she married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest gift to me was her "unconditional love" during her lifetime
My parents divorced after only years of marriage, but my father remarried a lovely lady who also loved to dance They used to take me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch them dance-occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance
I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party I danced with her for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her We kept dancing throughout our marriage My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home from work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about years old It was very relaxing for me to turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the room!
Our family danced a lot My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I continued to dance on every occasion One favorite memory I have of dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when they were seniors in high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance We won both dance competitions!
As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me, endless emotional and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult lives Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone

VI READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS:
A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase in crime does Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately the same ethnic mix The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and trash secondarily That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses Most families with children had already left
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different Residents picked up trash They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives A number of families had recently moved and more were considering Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community

KETCHUP
The sauce that is today called ketchup (or catsup) in Western cultures is a tomato-based sauce that is quite distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product A sauce called ke-tjap was in use in China at least as early as the 17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and spices The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap The Indonesian ketjab derives its name from the same source of the Malaysian sauce but is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a week, cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce
Early in the 18th century, sailors from the British navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period
(19)was a member of the Solanecaea family, which does include a number of poisonous plant The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not
Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato Soon after Jefferson had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashionable tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear By the middle of the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen
Tomato ketchup, popular though it was, was quite time-consuming to prepare In 1876, the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn, went on sale and achieved immediately success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes

A the Chinese sauce was in existence in the 17th century. B the Malaysian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce C the Chinese sauce was made from seafood and species D the Indonesian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce 142 “it” in paragraph refers to

D transported to England to Asia

B became strange C became popular D became a protest
