(A)
Tai Chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the world.
One thing that makes Tai Chi popular is its value in health. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, paying your attention to your body. This helps you relax and find peace in your mind. According to Harvard Health, Tai Chi is suitable for almost anyone, from healthy people to those who have disease. This is because its movements are never forced—the muscles(肌肉) are relaxed.
What makes Tai Chi even more interesting might be the philosophical(哲学的) ideas behind it. The word “Tai Chi” comes from Taoism(道家), which thinks that inaction,__opposite to action, is the way to solve problems. That's why Tai Chi movements are slow and soft. It is not used to fight an enemy—it is used to protect yourself. That doesn't mean it is weak though. The secret of Tai Chi is to use softness to beat hardness.
When you think of Tai Chi, you might think of the famous yin－yang diagram(图形). It shows how ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, male and female, life and death. But they do not absolutely opposite each other. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing—that's how we should see the world.
Tai Chi also pays attention to the balance between yin and yang. For example, if you work too hard and feel tired, you have too much “yang”. So it's time for you to calm down and get more “yin”. This idea of keeping a healthy balance can be used in almost everything in life. It makes Tai Chi far more than just a Chinese kung fu.

B. Tai Chi movements are slow and soft, so they can't be used to beat hardness.
C. The idea of keeping a balance between yin and yang can't be used in many things in life.
D. Tai Chi is not accepted by Chinese.
( )35. What is the article mainly about

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
With the strong development of Chinese cultures and Western cultures, more and more people go to different countries for exchange and learning. As learners, we need to know the cultural differences between Chinese cultures and Western cultures. In this way, it can help learners master the second language well. At the same time, it can help learners make fewer mistakes.
First, Western people express themselves directly, while Chinese act oppositely(相反地). We Chinese are implicative(含蓄的) all the time. When Chinese people get angry or unsatisfied, most of them will say nothing. When a Chinese acts like this in front of a foreigner, the foreigner will have no idea about how the Chinese feels and the foreigner just treats the Chinese as if nothing happens. So if you are unsatisfied with a foreigner, you just need to speak it out. Don't hide your feelings, because he or she can't understand your thoughts.
Second, the value about things is different between Chinese and Western people. We Chinese seem to be more worried about tomorrow, while Western people like to spend tomorrow's money. That is a tradition. Unlike Chinese, Western people believe that they should enjoy the moment and tomorrow is another thing. So they enjoy everything they have now, having no clear plans for the future.
But remember, there is no judgement(评判) about which one is better. Every country's culture has its own special meaning. What we need to know is to respect(尊重) each other's culture and get along with each other peacefully.
41. Why do learners need to know the cultural differences between Chinese cultures and Western cultures
42. If you are angry with a foreigner, how will you let him or her know that
43. Do Chinese and Western people have the same value about tomorrow
44. What do we need to do in face of different cultures
45. What is your value about tomorrow

January 2nd, Sunday Fine
Today I went to buy a computer, but some unhappy things happened to me. Let me tell my worst day in my life.
By the time I arrived at the bus station at 8：30 a.m., I found I had left my wallet at home. So I went back to get it. At 9：30 a.m., I got on the bus, but I was stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. At 11：30 a．m., when I got to the shop, I was told that the computer I liked had been sold out. Then it took me a long time to choose another kind of computer. Finally, when I hurried to the bus station at 6：30 p．m., I found the last bus had left. I had to go home by taxi.
What a bad day!
