1965.Although his passing was very difficult for her,I think their sharedstruggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be takenfor granted,and she made up her mind to live her rest of her own life as fully andas long as she could.One day,when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred AstaireDanceStudioinPortland,Oregon,whereshe lived,werolled-our eyesinembarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies asnormal grandmothers did.Many years filled with countless dance lessons passedbefore we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.I suppose grandmas primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social.She had been a shy girl,always very tall and heavy,and had married into grandpasquiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personalappearance.Dancing,on the other hand,filled her life with flash lights，wonderfulparties,beautiful dresses,handsome young dance instructors,and the challenge oflearning.Althoughtheweeklydancelessonsdidnotchangeherample,two-hundred-pound figure,grandma surprised everyone with energetic performanceson the dance floor,which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any MissAmerican competitor.Having taken weekly dance lessons for years,my grandma learned various danceseasily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest.WhenI was fourteen,grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn.My attitude wasstillunenthusiastic at that point,but to make her happy,my mother and I attended thematch.As if to prove me wrong,grandma made a wonderful showing in every event sheentered.I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance,and mythoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a goldcup for her outstanding performance.21.What did grandma learn from grandpas death?A.Good health was not there for everyone.B.She should take dance lessons.C.She had to struggle to live a better life.D.She should wear
