22、   “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practising animals' movements,” the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past—and still do today.

Chinese Five­Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer(鹿), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.

The Five­Animal Exercises are well­designed to help blood circulation(循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.

“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist(腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart.” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor(继承人) of Wuqinxi.

For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus(集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly... Little by little, you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.

These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practise them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it's fun to practise and good for health, Five­Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

【1】Why do people practise Five­Animal Exercises?

A.To fight against enemies. B.To protect wild animals.

C.To improve the health. D.To play as a group game.

【2】If your grandfather has a pain in the back, what may help him a lot?

A.The bear movements. B.The monkey movements.

C.The bird movements. D.The tiger movements.

【3】What does the underlined word “harmonious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.兴奋的 B.和谐的 C.敬畏的 D.肤浅的

23、   When I was about 15, I had a chance to perform in a play. How excited I was! So were my parents.

A few days before the show, some of my friends decided to have a picnic at a nearby lake. It was still rather cold. Mother wanted me to stay home so that I might not catch a cold, but I really wanted to go there. After making me promise not to go swimming, she nodded.

But when the others went into the water I couldn’t stand being left behind. I put on my swimsuit, too, and went out in a boat. When at last I went back to shore (岸), some of the boys began to shake my boat for fun. Just as I was about to reach the shore, it went over. Trying to stay out of the water, I jumped to the shore. I made it-but I landed on a broken bottle. My heel was cut right to the bone.

I didn’t perform in the play, but had to lie in hospital. “But I kept my promise not to go swimming,” I said to Dad. “Mary, you got only half of what your mother said. What she really made you promise was to try not to catch a cold. Going swimming was only part of it. You let yourself hear only part of the truth.”

I made a final excuse, “All my friends thought it would be all right if I stayed in the boat.”

“And they were all wrong, weren’t they?” he said. “You’ll find the world is full of people who think they know better than you. Don’t shut your ears to them. Hear them out, but listen only for the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

It was a painful lesson. But Dad’s advice has returned to me at many important moments in my life. Since that day I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

【1】What can we know from the second paragraph?

A.Mary couldn’t swim. B.Mary organized the trip.

C.Mary’s mother thought the lake was dangerous. D.Mary’s mother agreed with her request.

【2】What did Mary learn from this experience?

A.One should listen for the right thing. B.One should listen to others’ advice.

C.Think twice before speaking. D.Truth belongs to a small number of people.

【3】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.A big promise B.The chance I missed C.An awful picnic D.The best advice I’ve gotten
