Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom(经济繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as many foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to ‎Buenos Aires 13‎ ‎ looking for jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being.‎ At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes(阶级). It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time women were fewer than men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.‎ In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially strong in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found in Paris theaters.

Soldiers(士兵) who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America, It reached Japan in 1926, and in ‎2003 a tango dancer of South Korea was hired to act as a kind of dance ambassador(大使) and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.‎ ‎36.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in the tree, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper -- a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ Honey-lover’s helper 13‎ Honey from the African forest Ø Both people and animals like it 56 it’s natural and delicious. ‎ Ø If they want to get the honey, they have to find the bee’s nest which is hidden high up in 57 . ‎ Ø With the help of a little bird ‎58 a honey guide, it’s easy to look for honey.‎ ‎ 59 the honey guide gets its food Ø Unlike people and animals, it likes eating the wax which is deep inside the beehives.‎ Ø When it finds a nest, it cries 60 to attract the attention of passing people and animals.‎ Ø Curious animals and people 61 the honey guide to the nest for delicious honey and it’s time for the honey guide to wait and watch patiently.‎ Ø As the wax fall to the ground, the honey guide takes it ‎ 62 .‎ Honey guide’s smell Ø The reason why the honey guide likes wax is 63 , but it always tries its best to get wax. ‎ Ø Honey guides seem to have a good smell and 64 smell ‎ Ø wax far away.‎ Ø When a beekeeper is taking honey out, they arrive quickly.
