It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre pany, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past.

This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent.

But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.（英語(yǔ)）英語(yǔ)閱讀理解(人物故事)練習(xí)題及答案一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解人物故事類1．Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her.
