The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China's Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.

“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.

Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.

In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.

4. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2? A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action. B. It was born around the 1750s in a village. C. It is related to other cultural fields ofChina.

D. It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.

5. Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi? A. They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit. B. The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.

C. They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people. D. Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi. 6. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To promote contemporary Chinese civilization. B. To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi. C. To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters. D. To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCO's List. B. Tai Chi isCompeting against Yoga. C. Tai Chi Has Regained populate Globally. D. Opinions Greatly Differ on Tai Chi and Yoga.

C

You don't generally expect to put yourself in the public eye whenyou go on vacation. However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.

At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.

Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.

The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.

News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The

couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.

They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.

8. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money? A. They decided to do all with that money. B. They bought something in souvenir shops. C. They turned it over to the local police station. D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.

9. Which o£ the following can best describe the locals in Crete? A. Polite and hard-working. B. Kind and grateful. C. Sociable and honest. D. Rich and determined.

10. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar\" in the last paragraph? A. They want to take fewer flights. B. They can't handle more radars. C. They hope to gain less attention. D. They don't have more money. 11. What can we learn from the text?

A. Good things come to kind people. B. The early bird catchesthe worm. C. Behind bad luck conies good luck. D. Money is too much for strangers.

D

There is an old army joke about an officer who asks some soldiers whether any of them are interested in music. When four hands go up, the officer says, “Right, men. You can carry this grand piano down to the officers mess.”

Job recruitment has become more complicated since that story first did the rounds. Today's careers require a lot more than just raw music but that sometimes makes jobs hard to define. An unfortunate result is a form of “adjective inflation” in recruitment ads as employers attempt to make routine tasks sound exciting.

Candidates must sometimes wonder whether they are applying for a 9-to-5-role or to become a member of the Marvel “Avengers”. On Indeed, a job-bunting website, a bar was recently looking for \"bartenders who are people focused, quality-driven, and have superhero hospitality powers\". The ability to give customers the correct change was not mentioned.

Another British company advertised for “a call-centre ninja, a superhero in people\

sounds a little over-the top for what was in fact a role at an insurance company in Isleworth. In case you think that ad was not typical. Indeed also had jobs demanding “ninja-like attention to detail\". Short of turning up for the interview dressed head-to-toe in black, and then sneaking up behind the managing director at his desk, it is hard to see how candidates could show their ninja qualities.

Not all companies require candidates to possess the qualities of a ninja, of course. Some require applicants to be passionate. The Bluewater shopping mall in southeastEnglandwas looking for “passionate sales-driven brand ambassadors” while “passionate crew members” were needed at a bakery in westLondonfor a wage of just £8. 23 an hour. In fact, passion is pretty hard to keep consistently for 40 hours a week, month after month. Job applicants should find some information from the kind of ads that companies place. If a job ad talks about passion or superheroes, run away faster than a speeding Batmobile. Being a ninja should be reserved for teenage mutant ninja turtles.

12. Why does the author mention the joke in Paragraph 1? A. To show that officers enjoy playing tricks on soldiers. B. To introduce the topic of overstated job ads. C. To explain the origin of complex job ads. D. To describe soldiers' everyday life.

13. Which of the following offers a job demanding ninja qualities? A. The bar. B. The bakery.

C. The insurance company. D. The Bluewater shopping mall. 14. What does the author say about the ads requiring passion? A. They are unrealistic. B. They are typical of want ads.

C. They are appealing to applicants. D. They are uncommon on Indeed. 15. How does the author sound when talking about today’s job ads? A. Curious. B. Hesitant. C. Humorous. D. Sympathetic.

I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school, so not only was this a new school for me, but also a new state and I did not know anyone.

On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal, I sat down at a table in the courtyard. As I began to eat, I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone, so I decided to go and sit with her. Anyway, there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to check and said, “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you?” She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said, “No, I don't!”

We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years. Towards the end of our senior year, she told me that she had been accepted to an out - of - state college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.

She then shared with me something very moving. “Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch?” she asked. “Of course! Why do you ask?” I replied.

She continued, “I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference. I was severely depressed that day, because something unhappy had happened to me that morning. I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness. It had just broken me down. If you hadn't appeared, I would be probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school.”
