These days, videos of “diving (跳水) grandpas” from north China’s Tianjin are popular on the Internet. In the videos, they jumped off the Shizilin Bridge into the 7-meter-deep Haihe River. However, on Wednesday, they announced that they would give up the sport.
With an average age of 60, the diving grandpas have much experience in diving. They started as a group of local diving lovers. They went swimming in the city’s rivers, and later they tried their hand at diving. The hobby has now lasted for more than thirty years.
Videos on the Internet have drawn lots of tourists from across the country to the Shizilin Bridge over the Haihe River, where “diving grandpas” perform diving. However, some inexperienced divers, trying to follow “diving grandpas”, have met with accidents and got themselves injured. Some of the grandpas have begun volunteering to keep order for the crowds that come to see the performance on the bridge. However, accidents still continued to happen. As reported, members of the Blue Sky Rescue team in Tianjin said that they rescued 14 people at the risk of drowning or injury in just two days.
The grandpas then made a difficult decision. They stopped diving off the bridge. They also prevented inexperienced locals and children as well as tourists from diving from the bridge. The grandpas welcomed the tourists to Tianjin, especially pointing out the other great places of interest and delicious food around the Shizilin Bridge.

Many of us may have experienced the pleasant moment of seeing recommended songs after we listened to some songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we often see things we want to buy on the home page. The businessman can decide which is the best place to build a new entrance in a big supermarket in the city center. If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing
This is based on data. Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every side of our lives: our shopping habits, interests or what we eat. All of this is called “big data” (大数据). China is speeding up its big data strategy to better serve social and economic development. As a result, people’s lives can be improved as well. It is also expected that there will be greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation.
We have seen big data being used more often in China in the past few years. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights and service providers can better understand travelers’ needs. In this way, services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future.
Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of big data industry in China will reach one trillion yuan yearly by 2030. Having so many good influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China.
8. According to Paragraph 1, big data can help people ______.
A. make better decisions in business B. design home pages for websites
C. take a taxi without paying for it D. buy songs from a music app
9. Why does the author mention our shopping habits and interests in Paragraph 2
A. To prove that big data is now part of almost everything we do.
B. To prove that big data only consists of information about what we buy and eat.
C. To show that China’s plan for big data is mainly about changing shopping habits.
D. To show shopping habits and interests influence our lives.
10. Which of the following words can describe the writer’s feeling towards big data
A. Dissatisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Careful. D. Bored.
11 What can be the best title for the passage
A. Big Data Brings Good Music. B. Tourism Gets Help from Big Data.
C. Big Data Influences China positively. D. Sales of Big Data Industry in China.

Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (结合) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practiced the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.
The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practiced regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology (神经流行病学) at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study” - the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are striking. However, researchers also pointed out that the number of participants in the study was relatively small, and further research is needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
12. Why was the study conducted
A. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
B. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
C. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
D. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
13. Which of the following is a finding of the researchers
A. The concentration level was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group seldom fell down.
C. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the non-Tai group.
14. What does the underlined word “striking” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappointing. B. Demanding. C. Challenging. D. Amazing.
15. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words
A. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
B. It’s impossible to improve the long-term management of patients.
C. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
D. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
