新闻原文
Oriol Mas is a young Spanish man who loves Chinese kung fu. He once suffered from poor health and accidentally came into contact with traditional kung fu. He started to practise and it greatly improved his health. As well as practising himself, Mas also teaches kung fu to Spanish youngsters. (1) He says the martial art has led him to study Chinese philosophy, such as Taoism,and made him aware that China is a modern country that preserves its traditional culture.
Shaqliah says kung fu not only gives trainees strength, speed and flexibility in controlling their bodies - and helps them link their muscles with their minds -but it also helps them to get rid of negative energy resulting from the stresses of life.(2)
√
新闻原文
Even younger people can benefit from learning kung fu. Five-year-old Hasifa Nakirijja is becoming well known in Uganda because of her amazing skills in the Chinese martial art. (3) The person behind Nakirijja's skills is her father, Manisuru Ssejjemba, who in 2017 made a journey to the Shaolin Temple, thousands of kilometers away in China.
Ssejjemba set up a training center behind his house where he trains youngsters to help promote kung fu culture in Uganda.
Chinese kung fu highlights the relationship between body and spirit and combines the inner and outer qualities. By encouraging a good mood that fills one with energy,and offering useful exercise, kung fu has long been considered an effective way to maintain good health.

The pandemic-themed movie Chinese Doctors is set to hit cinemas in China on July 9th. The film pays tribute （致敬） to Chinese medical workers and ordinary people, especially those who worked at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, by focusing on their fight against the COVID- 19 outbreak in Wuhan in early 2020. The first coronavirus infectious （传染的）case in China was reported in Wuhan, and the Jinyintan Hospital became the front line to battle over the virus. While many locals were not familiar with the infectious disease specialist hospital, it quickly became the most important battlefield in China's fight against the pandemic.
The film,starring many well-known Chinese entertainers including actors Zhang Hanyu and Li Chen as well as actress Yuan Quan, is based on the tough battle Wuhan medical workers faced during the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic（流行病）．

Members of China's “fan circles” — large groups of celebrity enthusiasts who band together to support their heroes — are mostly girls and young women. According to a report issued by the China Internet Network Information Center last month, about 8 percent of the country's 183 million netizens under the age of 18 pursue celebrities, and most of them are middle school students. Supporters' activities and the rise of fan circles have played a key role in driving the entertainment industry, but they have also caused concern. A teacher named Sun from a Beijing high school, said, "The phenomenon of supporting idols is understandable because it meets teenagers' psychological needs for socializing and self-realization." (1)"There is nothing wrong with young people chasing stars, but some behavior, which is sometimes encouraged by adults or Internet platforms, should be stopped," she said.

新闻原文
For example, some devoted fans reportedly stole their parents' credit cards to buy products favoured by their idols, or raised money to pay for votes which would increase the stars' popularity.
Some fans also supported their idols by using bad language or false claims to insult other celebrities, causing online arguments and disturbing social order. On Friday, Sina Weibo said it had decided to remove its ranking list of celebrities before upgrading its service, as some fan groups were using the platform to irrationally support their idols. (2) The ranking list was established in 2014, with the aim of showing how popular and influential a star was. (3) It also said it would encourage stars to take part in public welfare.

According to a report issued by the China Internet Network Information Center last month, about 8 percent of the country's 183 million netizens under the age of 18 pursue celebrities, and most of them are middle school students. Supporters' activities and the rise of fan circles have played a key role in driving the entertainment industry, but they have also caused concern. A teacher named Sun from a Beijing high school, said, "The phenomenon of supporting idols is understandable because it meets teenagers' psychological needs for socializing and self-realization."

For example, some devoted fans reportedly stole their parents' credit cards to buy products favoured by their idols, or raised money to pay for votes which would increase the stars' popularity.

On Friday, Sina Weibo said it had decided to remove its ranking list of celebrities before upgrading its service, as some fan groups were using the platform to irrationally support their idols.
