In his lovely piece of writing "Why Write？"，the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an
eight﹣year﹣old in New York City.He was crazy about baseball，especially the New York Giants.The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game.The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. "Mr.Mays，" he said， "could I please have your autograph （签名）？"
"Sure，kid，sure，" Mays replied kindly. "Have you got a pencil？"
Auster didn't have a pencil on him，neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group.
Mays waited patiently，but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with，he said， "Sorry，kid.We've got no pencil.I can't give you my autograph."
From that day on，Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. "It's not that I had any special plans for that pencil，" Auster writes， "but I didn't want to be unprepared.I had been caught empty﹣handed once，and I wasn't about to let it happen again.The years have taught me this：If there's a pencil in your pocket，there's a good chance that one day you'll feel like starting to use it.That's how I became a writer."
What is your pencil？What is so important that without it you feel unprepared？I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets.They are always prepared.
Pick your "pencil" and don't leave home without it.
（1）To get Willie Mays' autograph，what did Auster need？

Skipping to victory
Zhou Qi is a 17﹣year﹣old student from Hangzhou，Zhejiang.Last September he broke the Guinness（吉尼斯） World Record for the most single skips in one minute，with a result of 374.The record had stood unbroken for ten years.Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.Interestingly，Zhou's new record is not even his personal best."My best performance was 396 times in one minute.That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students' Rope Skipping Championship in 2020.My coach said I had already broken the world record.It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record，"Zhou said.
However，the road to success was far from smooth.For years，Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition.It's light and strong.But because of the rope he used，his first Guinness application was considered invalid（无效）.After online communication with the records management team，Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized（认证） by the Guinness World Records.He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used，his strict training stood him in good sporting condition.Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years.He has jumped rope for about four hours each day.He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student，Zhou said he'll put his studies first.But he won't stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

Dear Patrick， Every time I look through my phone，I see someone having the time of their life.When I miss out on something fun or important that my friends are experiencing，I feel worried.How can I avoid this？ Sarah
Hi!Sarah. This is a big reason why so many people worry about social media's influence on teenagers.Feeling worried and lonely as a result of looking through your phone is quite normal，even if it is unhealthy. Quite a lot of people post their pictures or videos on social media.Most of them share the best parts of their lives.You must keep in mind that they do so to share good feelings with others.It's hard to find people sharing their bad moments，like feeling stressed about their home life or shame after failing a test.If seeing these videos and photos still causes bad feelings，stop connecting for a while.Do something that makes you pleased and relaxed.Try to read or spend some time with your family.You don't need to impress anyone else. Pat

A total of 23 spotted seals （斑海豹） were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast
China's Liaoning Province on Tuesday，Dec.12，2023 as part of China's continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold，but have now been saved and marked for future protection.A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning，carrying the spotted seals.The seals were let go free one by one into the sea.They swam freely in the water，returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China.They are the only kind of seals that can breed （繁殖） in Chinese waters.Like migratory （迁徙的） birds，they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay，and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding.They are often considered as the"panda of the sea."
Thanks to China's top﹣class national protection in recent years，the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2，000，while the global population is between 400，000 and 600，000.Studies have shown that these 2，000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment，the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992.In January 2002， they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance.Covering an area of 560，000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers，the wetlands are rich in biological resources.They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal，finless porpoise，killer whales，false killer whales，common dolphins，bottlenose dolphins，and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992，researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
（1）Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea？
（2）What is the other name of the spotted seal？
（3）With China's protection，what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters？
（4）What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 5 refer to （指的是）？

I used to live in a small town with trees all around.I left my hometown about 30 years ago.But I still
remember what it was exactly like.And I often "see" it in many of my dreams.My hometown is a beautiful place.It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
But in the old days it was a poor little town.Many people had no work.They lived a hard life.There was no tall building and the only street was narrow（狭窄的）.But trees and flowers made the town beautiful.Just outside the town，there was a river.You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water.People there lived a simple life.
Since the government took a new policy（政策），great changes have taken place there.The streets have been widened.Schools，cinemas and theatres have been built one after another.People's life is greatly improved.You can see tall buildings，big department stores and factories everywhere.Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
But with the development of the industry，we have fewer trees.Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious.And there are also other problems.We should try our best to make it richer.At the same time we must do something to stop pollution.

How have cars changed？A lot!Ever since the first cars were built，carmakers have been working to make
them better.There have been a lot of changes.But there is still more to be done.
Drivers want cars that can go fast.But drivers also want cars that are safe.Many people need cars that are cheap—that do not cost a lot of money.
Right now，most cars run by burning gasoline，a fuel.When cars burn up gasoline，some dirt gets into the air.People hope that new cars will burn less gasoline to help us have cleaner air.
Inventors are working on ideas that could solve these problems.We are not sure which new cars will work the best.But here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner，Cheaper Car？
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road.Someday，they may be great.But right now there are still some problems.Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time.So they still dirty the air.Also，someday they might cost less，but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
A________Car？
Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now.But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves.They say that people make mistakes but that a self﹣driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves.The cars use special cameras and other tools to drive.But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday，there may even be self driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity.Now that could solve a lot of problems!
A Faster Car？
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea.They say it would help people get places faster.If driving on the road is too slow，these cars will rise up in the air.
Imagine it!Zooming up above the traffic on the ground.So far，no one has made a flying car that really works on the road.But some inventors say that they should have flying cars to show very soon.
（1）Why do people hope that new cars will burn less gasoline？
（2）What problems do electric cars still have？
_____________________________________________________________________
（3）Fill in the blank with a proper word.
（4）What can a flying car mainly do for people？

"We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field.This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group.I carried my rackets in this basket to honour my hometown，" Wang said after the match.
Before tennis，Wang was only an ordinary boy from a village.But in 2016，he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. "I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home，" he said，adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.
Over the past six years，Wang，along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club，has trained hard to improve his skills.He thinks his physical strength also has improved.Every day，they must swing a racket more than 7，000 times and run 9 kilometers.

Tea，coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world.Tea is drunk by the largest number of people
in the world.Tea，as well as silk and porcelain，began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.
Tea has a history of over 4，000 years and China is the home of tea.In ancient China，tea was used as a kind of medicine，while nowadays people drink tea daily.
Longjing，Pu'er，Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea.Thanks to the climate and soil in Fujian，Zhejiang and Yunnan，tea is produced mainly in these provinces.
The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese，like 'cha'i' in Russian.And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.
Now，tea culture is a part of Chinese culture，which includes tea planting，tea leaf picking，tea making，tea drinking and so on.Tea is also popular in some sayings，like "A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea." In dances，songs，poems and novels，tea is often mentioned，too.

Many Westerners have the assumption （假设） that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，
of course，a silly belief.But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy（炫酷的）and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx（Chan）and Enter The Dragon（Lee）made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip﹣hop group.Wu﹣Tang Clan（"武当派"），founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential （有影响力的）hip﹣hop groups in history.
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts （哲学理念） behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. "Be formless …shapeless，like water，" he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt （调整） and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.

In his lovely piece of writing "Why Write？"，the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an
eight﹣year﹣old in New York City.He was crazy about baseball，especially the New York Giants.The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game.The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. "Mr.Mays，" he said， "could I please have your autograph （签名）？"
"Sure，kid，sure，" Mays replied kindly. "Have you got a pencil？"
Auster didn't have a pencil on him，neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group.
Mays waited patiently，but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with，he said， "Sorry，kid.We've got no pencil.I can't give you my autograph."
From that day on，Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. "It's not that I had any special plans for that pencil，" Auster writes， "but I didn't want to be unprepared.I had been caught empty﹣handed once，and I wasn't about to let it happen again.The years have taught me this：If there's a pencil in your pocket，there's a good chance that one day you'll feel like starting to use it.That's how I became a writer."
What is your pencil？What is so important that without it you feel unprepared？I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets.They are always prepared.
Pick your "pencil" and don't leave home without it.
（1）To get Willie Mays' autograph，what did Auster need？

（3）I think it's helpful.Because this habit helps him become a writer.
【分析】文章主要讲述了作家保罗 奥斯特分享他八岁时在纽约成长的故事，告诉我们：做任何事都要提前做好准备。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段"Mr.Mays，" he said， "could I please have your autograph （签名）？"（"梅斯先生，"他说，"能给我签个名吗？"）和第二段 "Sure，kid，sure，" Mays replied kindly. "Have you got a pencil？"（"当然，孩子，当然，"梅斯友好地回答。"你有铅笔吗？"）可知，是需要一支铅笔。故填A pencil.
（2）细节理解题。根据第五段From that day on，Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. （从那天起，奥斯特养成了口袋里没有铅笔就不出门的习惯。）可知，他养成了口袋里没有铅笔就不出门的习惯。故填He made it a habit to never leave his house without a pencil in his pocket.
（3）主观表达题。我觉得是有帮助的。根据倒数第三段The years have taught me this：If there's a pencil in your pocket，there's a good chance that one day you'll feel like starting to use it.That's how I became a writer.（这些年来我明白了这一点：如果你的口袋里有一支铅笔，很有可能有一天你会想开始使用它。我就是这样成为作家的。）可知，因为这个习惯有助于他成为作家。故填I think it's helpful.Because this habit helps him become a writer.

Peking Opera which combines singing，dancing，acrobatics and martial arts is sung and recited using Beijing dialect.The music of Peking Opera plays a key role in setting the pace of the show，creating a particular atmosphere，shaping the characters，and guiding the progress of the stories.The art form has spread to many other countries and is enjoyed all around the world.Many children in China receive training in Peking Opera classes or practise Peking Opera.However，some artists still worry that Peking Opera is challenged by new forms of entertainment like many traditional art forms.They are trying to do something for Peking Opera.
Tao Qingmei，a traditional arts scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences，co﹣wrote the book The Marvelous Game with Guo Baochang. Guo, a film director, is a Peking Opera fan who has loved Jingju since he was a kid.It has been his long﹣time wish to write a book on Peking Opera.
The boy on the new book cover is Guo Baochang's grandson. Guo and his grandson are playing a game by dressing up in roles from the classic Peking Opera piece, Shuang Bei Deng，which is a comedy. Tao and Guo spent years writing the book because they wanted to make it easy and fun for everyone.They hope young people will get to know more about Peking Opera and fall in love with it.
Peking Opera is regarded as an expression of the aesthetic ideal of opera in the traditional Chinese society and remains a widely recognized element of the country's cultural heritage.The stories performed in Peking Opera are often based on Chinese history，folklore and literary classics.They bring us a colourful world.

A total of 23 spotted seals （斑海豹） were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast
China's Liaoning Province on Tuesday，Dec.12，2023 as part of China's continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold，but have now been saved and marked for future protection.A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning，carrying the spotted seals.The seals were let go free one by one into the sea.They swam freely in the water，returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China.They are the only kind of seals that can breed （繁殖） in Chinese waters.Like migratory （迁徙的） birds，they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay，and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding.They are often considered as the"panda of the sea."
Thanks to China's top﹣class national protection in recent years，the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2，000，while the global population is between 400，000 and 600，000.Studies have shown that these 2，000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment，the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992.In January 2002， they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance.Covering an area of 560，000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers，the wetlands are rich in biological resources.They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal，finless porpoise，killer whales，false killer whales，common dolphins，bottlenose dolphins，and East Asian river dolphins.

How have cars changed？A lot!Ever since the first cars were built，carmakers have been working to make
them better.There have been a lot of changes.But there is still more to be done.
Drivers want cars that can go fast.But drivers also want cars that are safe.Many people need cars that are cheap—that do not cost a lot of money.
Right now，most cars run by burning gasoline，a fuel.When cars burn up gasoline，some dirt gets into the air.People hope that new cars will burn less gasoline to help us have cleaner air.
Inventors are working on ideas that could solve these problems.We are not sure which new cars will work the best.But here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner，Cheaper Car？
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road.Someday，they may be great.But right now there are still some problems.Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time.So they still dirty the air.Also，someday they might cost less，but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
A________Car？
Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now.But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves.They say that people make mistakes but that a self﹣driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves.The cars use special cameras and other tools to drive.But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday，there may even be self driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity.Now that could solve a lot of problems!
A Faster Car？
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea.They say it would help people get places faster.If driving on the road is too slow，these cars will rise up in the air.
Imagine it!Zooming up above the traffic on the ground.So far，no one has made a flying car that really works on the road.But some inventors say that they should have flying cars to show very soon.
（1）Why do people hope that new cars will burn less gasoline？

【分析】短文讲了汽车的改变，及其存在的优缺点。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段"When cars burn up gasoline，some dirt gets into the air.People hope that new cars will burn less gasoline to help us have cleaner air." （当汽车燃烧汽油时，一些污垢进入空气中。人们希望新车能燃烧更少的汽油，以帮助我们拥有更清洁的空气。）可知，人们希望新车燃烧更少汽油是因为当汽车燃烧汽油时，一些灰尘会进入空气中，而减少汽油燃烧有助于拥有更清洁的空气。故答案是Because when cars burn up gasoline，some dirt gets into the air and burning less gasoline can help have cleaner air.
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段"Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time.So they still dirty the air.Also，someday they might cost less，but now most electric cars cost a lot of money." （一些电动汽车部分时间使用汽油。所以他们仍然污染空气。而且，有一天它们可能会更便宜，但现在大多数电动汽车都很贵。）可知，电动汽车的问题是部分时间仍使用汽油从而污染空气，且现在大多数电动汽车价格昂贵。故答案是Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time and still dirty the air.And most of them cost a lot of money now.
（3）细节理解题。根据第六段"Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now.But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves." （现在安全带和安全气囊可以保护你的安全。但一些发明家认为，如果汽车是自动驾驶的，会更安全。）可知，这部分在讲汽车的安全性，所以空格处应填 "Safer"。故答案是Safer。
（4）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 "Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea.They say it would help people get places faster." （一些发明家认为飞行汽车是个好主意。他们说这会帮助人们更快地到达目的地。）可知，飞行汽车主要能帮助人们更快地到达目的地。故答案是It can help people get places faster.

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第六段"My legs were broken，my teeth were worn down，and my eyes were clouded"（我的腿被打断了，牙齿磨损，眼睛也模糊了）可知，这只狗在被找到时身体非常虚弱，显然不健康。故答案为：No，she wasn't.

（5）推理判断题。根据第六段"My legs were broken，my teeth were worn down，and my eyes were clouded."（我的腿断了，我的牙齿磨掉了，我的眼睛模糊不清。）可知，前文提到狗的眼睛模糊，现在狗应该是健康的，所以此处可以说眼睛变得清澈了。故答案为：my eyes are clear.

Eton，a ten﹣year﹣old boy，used to go for a walk.with his father every day，on a nearby hill.One day the
boy said， "Dad，let's have a race today：One who touches top of hill first，wins the race." Father agreed.
Both of them started running toward hilltop.After running for some time，Father suddenly stopped.Eton asked， "What happened？Why did you stop suddenly？Have you accepted your defeat already？""No，No.Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes.I stopped to remove them，"Father replied."Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes too，but I don't care.Once I reach top then I will remove them，" Eton replied.Saying this，the boy ran ahead fast.Father removed pebbles from his shoes and moved ahead.
Eton had gone far ahead，but now he started feeling pain in his feet because of the pebbles stuck in his shoes and his running speed started to decrease （下降）.Gradually，Father came close to him.Seeing his boy，Father shouted from behind， "Why don't you remove pebbles from your shoes first？""But I don't have time for this!!" said the boy.
In a short while，Father overtook him.Eton's pain had increased a lot due to the pricking pebbles and now he was not even able to walk.He stopped there and screamed， "Dad，I can't run anymore." Father quickly ran back and took off Eton's shoes and saw that his feet were injured.Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries.
When pain subsided（消退） a bit，he talked to the boy， "Son，I told you to first remove your pebbles and then go on with the race.""But _____ ，" Eton said."It is not like that son，if any problem come in our life，then we should not delay solving them by saying that we don't have time right now.It would have taken you hardly one minute to remove that pebble but now to save that one minute，you will have to suffer from pain for one week"，Father said.

（3）Because the pebbles stuck in his shoes made his feet feel pain and affected his running speed.
（4）Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries on his feet.

（6）Eton will probably stop to solve the problems first when he meets with problems next time.Because he has learned from this painful experience that delaying dealing with problems will lead to more serious consequences.He now understands that it's better to take a short time to solve the problem immediately rather than ignoring it and suffering more later.
【分析】文章讲述了 10 岁男孩伊Eton和父亲在附近山上赛跑的故事。比赛时父亲因鞋子里进了石子停下来清理，伊顿不顾石子继续奔跑，结果因石子硌脚疼痛难忍，速度下降，最终被父亲超过，甚至疼得无法走路。父亲带他回家处理伤口，之后教导伊顿，生活中遇到问题不能以没时间为由拖延解决，否则可能会像这次赛跑一样，为了省一时之快而遭受长时间的痛苦，旨在通过这个事例告诉人们面对生活中的问题要及时解决，不能拖延。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段 "One day the boy said， 'Dad，let's have a race today：One who touches top of hill first，wins the race.' Father agreed."（一天，男孩说："爸爸，今天我们来比赛吧：谁先摸到山顶，谁就赢得这场比赛。" 父亲同意了。）明确表明伊顿（Eton）提议和父亲在附近的山上比赛，父亲同意了，所以他们确实进行了一场比赛。故填Yes，they did.
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段 "After running for some time，Father suddenly stopped.Eton asked， 'What happened？Why did you stop suddenly？Have you accepted your defeat already？' 'No，No.Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes.I stopped to remove them，' Father replied."（跑了一段时间后，父亲突然停了下来。伊顿问道："怎么了？你为什么突然停下来？你已经认输了吗？""不，不是的。一些石子卡在我的鞋子里了，我停下来把它们弄出来。" 父亲回答道。） 可知，父亲突然停下来是因为鞋子里进了石子，他停下来是为了把石子弄出来。故填Because some pebbles got stuck in his shoes and he stopped to remove them.
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段 "Eton had gone far ahead，but now he started feeling pain in his feet because of the pebbles stuck in his shoes and his running speed started to decrease （下降）."（伊顿已经远远领先了，但现在由于鞋子里卡着的石子，他的脚开始感到疼痛，而且他的跑步速度也开始下降了。）说明是因为鞋子里的石子让伊顿的脚感到疼痛，进而影响了他的跑步速度，所以他越跑越慢。故填Because the pebbles stuck in his shoes made his feet feel pain and affected his running speed.
（4）细节理解题。根据第四段 "Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries." （父亲把男孩带回了家，并给受伤的地方涂了些药。）清晰地说明了父亲照顾儿子脚伤的方式，就是带他回家并给他受伤的脚涂了药。故填Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries on his feet.
（5）细节推理题。根据最后一段When pain subsided（消退） a bit，he talked to the boy， "Son，I told you to first remove your pebbles and then go on with the race."（当疼痛稍微消退了一些后，他对男孩说道："儿子，我之前就告诉过你，要先把你鞋子里的石子弄出来，然后再继续比赛呀。"）可知，从伊顿之前一直急于向前跑，不顾鞋子里的石子，一心想赢得比赛的行为以及语境推测，此处他可能会说自己当时是想快点赢得比赛之类的话语，来解释自己当时为什么不先把石子弄出来。故填I wanted to win the race quickly.
（6）细节推理题。这次比赛的经历让伊顿尝到了因为不及时解决鞋子里石子这个小问题，而导致脚受伤疼痛难忍，甚至无法继续跑步的苦果。所以下次再遇到问题时，基于这次的教训，他很可能会先停下来解决问题，避免后续产生更严重的后果。故填Eton will probably stop to solve the problems first when he meets with problems next time.Because he has learned from this painful experience that delaying dealing with problems will lead to more serious consequences.He now understands that it's better to take a short time to solve the problem immediately rather than ignoring it and suffering more later.

Many Westerners have the assumption （假设） that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，
of course，a silly belief.But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy（炫酷的）and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx（Chan）and Enter The Dragon（Lee）made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip﹣hop group.Wu﹣Tang Clan（"武当派"），founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential （有影响力的）hip﹣hop groups in history.
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts （哲学理念） behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. "Be formless …shapeless，like water，" he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt （调整） and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.
