This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. You don’t have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.

◆Start with soup Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
◆An apple or more a day Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.
◆Talk it up Every time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. This year it falls on Oct. 23.

On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people.
It is a traditional virtue (美德) in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow.

What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu Maybe the image of Shaolin monks (和尚) posing with a serious look in their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu
Laurence J. Brahm, a filmmaker from the United States, explored (探索) this question in Searching for Kung Fu (《寻找功夫》). In the movie, Brahm traveled to cities in China and the US in search of the value of kung fu.
Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane (拐杖). But by practicing martial arts (武术), he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a daily activity for him and also the way he begins the day.
Still, there are other deep meanings in the practice. Nonviolence is one value, which is shown both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu has two parts—ge, meaning “to fight”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting, the art of nonviolence. Kung fu artists always greet people with baoquan. This lets each person know that there are no hidden weapons (隐藏的武器) and shows trust.
“The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people,” Brahm told Xinhua.
12. What does Brahm think of kung fu
A. It’s just a way to kill time. B. It’s bad for the performer’s legs.
C. It’s a way to stay healthy. D. It’s the best way to greet people.
13. What does the underlined word “nonviolence” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. To fight bravely. B. To stop fighting.
C. To greet people actively. D. To use weapons secretly.
14. What is the purpose of the story
A. To present the value of kung fu.
B. To introduce a movie.
C. To prove the popularity of kung fu.
D. To show the kindness of Chinese people.
15. According to the passage, which word can best describe Brahm
A. Strong-minded. B. Friendly. C. Generous. D. Confident.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国功夫，探讨了中国功夫不仅仅是一种防身的技能，更代表着一种哲学观念和非暴力的价值观。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane (拐杖). But by practicing martial arts (武术), he was able to recover step by step.( Brahm本人是一名功夫爱好者，他已经练习了40多年的功夫。对他来说，这不仅仅是一种消遣。很久以前，Brahm有两年不能使用他的一条腿，不得不用拐杖走路。但通过练习武术，他能够一步一步地恢复。)”可知，对Brahm而言，功夫可以让他保持健康。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“which is shown both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu has two parts—ge, meaning “to fight”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting(它体现在功夫的名称和实践中。汉字“武”有两部分——“戈”，意思是“战斗”，“止”，意思是“停止”。所以，功夫在中文里的意思是停止打斗的艺术)”可知，划线单词和“停止打斗”相似。选项B“To stop fighting(停止战斗)”与划线单词词义一致。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu Maybe the image of Shaolin monks (和尚) posing with a serious look in their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu (当你想到功夫的时候，你会想到什么？也许是少林和尚摆姿势，眼神严肃的形象。但它真的体现了功夫的意义吗？)”以及最后一段“The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people,” Brahm told Xinhua.(“功夫的传统价值，实际上，在所有中国人的心中，”Brahm告诉新华社。)”可知，文章主要是为了告诉我们功夫的价值。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime.( Brahm本人是一名功夫爱好者，他已经练习了40多年的功夫。)”可知，Brahm喜欢功夫并已经练习了40多年。这表明他具有坚定的信念和毅力，因此选项A“Strong-minded(坚定意志的)”最能描述他的特点。故选A。

【答案】Dear Sam,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve encountered some setbacks in learning Chinese. I can totally relate to your feelings.
In my experience priority should be given to developing an interest, which can serve as your biggest motivation in learning a second language. Therefore, Chinese TV series and movies are highly recommended. Of secondary importance is a language partner, with whom you can improve your Chinese through daily communication. What’s more, if you read plenty of good Chinese articles, you will learn how skillful writers use Chinese to express themselves and present information in an excellent way.
Hopefully, the advice would be helpful to you. Cheer up! I’m positive you’ll rise to all the challenges as long as you find the proper ways.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

◆Start with soup Order a clear soup and have it before the main food. In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
◆An apple or more a day Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. However, do our grandparents have a special holiday Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. This year it falls on Oct. 23.
There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases.
Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used.

What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu Maybe the image of Shaolin monks (和尚) posing with a serious look in their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu
Laurence J. Brahm, a filmmaker from the United States, explored (探索) this question in Searching for Kung Fu (《寻找功夫》). In the movie, Brahm traveled to cities in China and the US in search of the value of kung fu.
Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane (拐杖). But by practicing martial arts (武术), he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a daily activity for him and also the way he begins the day.
Still, there are other deep meanings in the practice. Nonviolence is one value, which is shown both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu has two parts—ge, meaning “to fight”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting, the art of nonviolence. Kung fu artists always greet people with baoquan. This lets each person know that there are no hidden weapons (隐藏的武器) and shows trust.
“The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people,” Brahm told Xinhua.
12. What does Brahm think of kung fu
A. It’s just a way to kill time. B. It’s bad for the performer’s legs.
C. It’s a way to stay healthy. D. It’s the best way to greet people.
13. What does the underlined word “nonviolence” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. To fight bravely. B. To stop fighting.
C To greet people actively. D. To use weapons secretly.
14. What is the purpose of the story
A. To present the value of kung fu.
B. To introduce a movie.
C. To prove the popularity of kung fu.
D. To show the kindness of Chinese people.
15. According to the passage, which word can best describe Brahm
A. Strong-minded. B. Friendly. C. Generous. D. Confident.
