They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.

Passage 3 2018全国卷 III，10分 话题：舞蹈的价值 词数：188

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.

1 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.

"I adore dancing," says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. "I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life." Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. "Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life."

3 "I can tell you about one young couple," says Bridges. "They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 4 "

So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, "Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. 5 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive."

A. So why do we dance?

B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.

Passage 4 2018北京，10分 话题：人为什么生气 词数：288

Why Do We Get Angry?

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it，but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior， and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征)，and our assessment of situations. 1

Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 2 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.

Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 3 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.

4 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative（消极的） outlooks on situations can create anger.

5 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.

A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.

B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.

C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.

D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.

E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.

F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.

G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
