As a teenager, I hated PE lessons. I was not very good at sports，
and I hated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing
the rest of the team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected
from my body, like only my brain was “me” and my body was just a
vehicle(运载工具) for carrying my brain around. kung fu
When I started university, I decided to try a kung fu club. To my surprise, I loved it! In my first year, most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times a week. Because it is not a team sport, I didn’t feel sorry about not being very good. And because it is a combat (格斗) sport, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated (欣赏) that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed — I got stronger and quicker — but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.
When I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I joined a local martial arts (武术) club and I loved it. We did lots of sparring (拳击). I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to hit you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to avoid him, block or even catch his arm and then throw him to the mat.
When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn't a sporty person and that I just didn't like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.

Playing for Peace
John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.
The World Peace Game is played on a cube (立方体) of four layers. In the game. there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned (指定的) country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.
You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunters students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is a big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself. ‘I need to fix this.’” The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.
The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.
It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions (版本) of the game as well.
Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn “how to make people not experience so much pain.” He adds, “I think I now hope the game helps people be kinder.” One of his former students, Irene Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.
27. How is the World Peace Game played?
A. Students team up to play the game online.
B. Students answer 50 questions during the game.
C. Students come up with solutions to 50 problems.
D. Students list the dangerous conditions of four countries.
28. The word “daunting” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.
A. frightening B. surprising C. attractive D. simple
29. What do you know about the World Peace Game from the passage?
A. The design of this game needs to be improved.
B. John Hunter educates his students through this game.
C. John Hunter limits this game to students in his school.
D. This game helps students easily become leaders in the future.

Kids go to school to learn plenty of subjects. Finally, education prepares kids to have a meaningful career (职业) in a field they enjoy. So thinking and learning about career choices before high school is always a good idea. But when should kids begin career education?
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A teacher? A doctor? Or a baseball player? Preschool-aged children naturally think about their future careers. By imagining, exploring and role-playing, kids are likely to choose careers that interest them. Encouraging this career role playing is healthy and can be quite telling; kids often clearly prefer either left-brained or right-brained roles.
At some point beyond the role-playing stage, students should be shown to a more serious career education curriculum (课程). You may think that career education isn’t all that necessary until kids finish high school, because that’s when they’re usually expected to get a job or choose a course of study in college. Experts(专家) disagree.
“The influence of early involvement can have a hugely good effect on wider academic (学术的) achievements, helping both children and their families to see a future which is achievable,” writes Robert Halfon, chair of the Education Select Committee in the UK.
Many experts accept the idea that career education should begin at a young age. They suggest career education in school should progress as follows:
Kids in primary school should learn about why people work.
Kids in early middle school should learn about the importance of a career in earning money.
Kids in grades seven through ten should begin to discuss and think about different jobs.
Kids in grades ten and beyond should discover their strengths and interests, recognize suitable careers, and become involved in specific activities to help them understand what they need to work on to do their dream career.
Starting career education early prepares students for the real world by making the connection between what they’re learning in school and why they’re learning it. For example, if a child wants to build tall buildings and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career, the child will be more likely to study, rather than hate, math.
Career education opens kids’ minds to all that is possible. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what parents and teachers want for their kids and students?
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Kids feel confident about choosing their careers.
B. It’s natural for kids to change their career choices.
C. Kids do career role-playing to develop their interests.
D. It’s normal for kids to think about their future careers.
31. Experts suggest that career education in school should _________.
A. develop in different grades
B. promise kids academic success
C. help kids know their strengths first
D. provide kids with rich job experience
32. What does the example of the child who wants to build tall buildings show?
A. Math skills are the most important in school education.
B. Career education can help children find out what they want to do.
C. Children who want to build tall buildings are usually good at math.
D. Career education makes children more willing to study for their future job
33. The writer probably agrees that _________.
A. career education should begin earlier for kids
B. kids don’t need to worry about their future careers
C. kids should learn all subjects well for future careers
D. career education in middle school is not a must for kids

HUTONG
Every year thousands of tourists come to China. They come to see the great sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest
impression(印象), as they offer travelers an unusual view into Beijing’s past. Hutongs connect courtyards of traditional houses and are a feature of ancient Chinese building. Beijing’s hutongs are especially famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong” has come to mean more than just the alleys (小巷) , which connect the courtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even the communities.
Most of Beijing’s hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them manage the city, the Emperors (皇帝)during these periods organized different areas of Beijing and had houses built around courtyards. The Emperor’s home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles (贵族) and rich people were in hutongs closest to the palace. Normal people lived in the hutongs further away from the palace.
By connecting people’s homes, the hutongs in fact connected people’s lives, whether the lives of the rich or the lives of the poor. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards, the families who lived there were an important part of each other’s lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the happiness and sadness of everyday life. Because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together – a real community.
Hutongs are still an important part of Beijing’s life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs. They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Dongjiaominxiang – the longest hutong at 3km, or squeeze through Qianshi – the narrowest (窄)at only 40cm wide! The hutongs not only connect Beijing’s streets and communities, but also its past and present, showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet modern city.
34. What do hutongs offer travelers?
35. Besides the alleys, what does the word “hutong” refer to nowadays?
36. When were most of Beijing’s hutongs built?
37. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
38. What is special about Dongjiaominxiang?
