2．For hundreds of years，women in Myanmar's Kayan area have worn bronze rings around their necks and other parts of their body.The rings are a traditional symbol of beauty.They also extend the necks of the women，making them very long.
   But now，younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.She is 48 years old.She says，"The shorter sets are easier to make.Everyone has their own preference.So if someone doesn't like what you've put on，you have to take it off and start over."
   83-year-old Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck，wrists and knees since she was eight."My dad told me I looked like a boy，and he would buy me a gun to hunt as a man.But I said every girl is wearing the ring，so I want to wear the rings，too."Maria never removes the rings，even when cooking，eating or working."It is comfortable.At first it was hard but now it's fine.I eat and food goes down，"she said.
   Wearing neck rings was once expected of all Kayan women.But more and more have started toshun the practice.Maria's granddaughter，20-year-old Za Oo，is among those who have not kept with the tradition."They're heavy and uncomfortable.Also I don't know much about them，that's why I don't wear them，" she said.
   What is known is that besides extending the women's necks，the practice also crushes collarbones（鎖骨） and causes discomfort when swallowing.Even Mu Tu admits that safety is a concern."If you don't make the rings correctly，someone can choke，"she said.
   Whether safety or changing fashion，many young Kayan women are turning their backs on the tradition.Experts say there are now fewer than 100 long-neck women in Myanmar.That is down from about 300 to 400 in the 1990s.

（1）How many years has Maria Khaing been wearing rings on her neck？

C．20 years.
D．75 years.
（2）What does the underlined word "shun" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to？

A．Promote.
B．Stop.
C．Analyse.
D．Observe.
（3）Za Oo didn't wear rings on her neck because

.
A．her father wanted her to be a hunter
B．she thought the practice not safe
C．she knew little about the tradition
D．she found it not fashionable to do so
（4）What can we learn from the passage？

A．The rings will always be a symbol of beauty to Kayan.
B．Many Kayan women know how to make neck rings.
C．The practice of wearing rings can lead to getting choked.
D．Many long-necked Kayan women have removed the rings.

3．AileyCamp is a free，six-week program aimed at young people in financial need or who have school，social or family difficulties.It was created in 1989 in Kansas City，Missouri by world-famous dancer and director Alvin Ailey.About 1，000 students in 10 U.S.states take part in AileyCamp every year.
   In addition to dance，the camp introduces students to visual arts，creative writing and other communication skills.It also teaches them how to eat well，solve conflicts and become leaders.
   American Anai Espinoza is in the eighth grade.This summer，she took part in AileyCamp.Each morning，she and other campers would say several sentences together.Her favorite is this："I am in control." Espinoza said， "It makes me believe I have the power to choose the right thing."
   Dianne Caroll directs the AileyCamp in Atlanta，Georgia.When the camp is over，the city's professional ballet company offers 10 students a full-tuition scholarship for a year of training.The scholarship can be renewed.
   Kameron Davis received one of those scholarships when he was a young man.He trained with the Atlanta Ballet for three years.Then he became a dance teacher.Davis said he does not think his mother could have paid for dance classes without the scholarship.
   Davis said children at school made fun of him when he began dancing.AileyCamp，he said，offered him a safe place and increased his confidence.Today，he enjoys giving back to the program by helping new campers build their confidence，too.
   "It's an open door to finding new things，doing new things，" Davis said."When I got to AileyCamp，it just reassured me that，'Hey，it's okay.Everybody is different.You shouldn't be judged by what you do just because not a lot of people do it.'"
