“Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practising animals’ movements,” the traditional Chinese Kungfu lovers believed in the past and still do today.

Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer, birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.

The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation, and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve health.

“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist. The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart,” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor of Wuqinxi.

For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus. Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly ... Little by little, you’ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.

These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practise them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. It’s fun to practise and good for health, so Five-Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

30. People practise Five-Animal Exercises in order to ______.

A. fight against enemies      B. protect wild animals

C. improve health       D. play as a group game

31. If your grandfather has a pain in the back, ______ may help him a lot.

A. the bear movements      B. the monkey movements

C. the bird movements      D. the tiger movements

32. The underlined word “harmonious” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.

A. 兴奋的   B. 和谐的   C. 敬畏的   D. 肤浅的

33. The structure of the passage may be ______.

(①=Paragraph 1  ②=Paragraph 2  ③=Paragraph 3

④=Paragraph 4  ⑤=Paragraph 5  ⑥=Paragraph 6)

A.    B.

C.    D.

For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges（荣誉徽章）. At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, or try simulated（模拟）flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit（驾驶舱）of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about land and water survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of a “downed” pilot.

With all the programs, teamwork is the key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.

The Taj Mahal（泰姬陵）is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman who he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahal: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided, out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had never been seen.

He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6—7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.

The emperor planned to build an identical（相同的）tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

38. The whole passage tells us about ______.

A. a beautiful fairy tale

B. the love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife.

C. white and black marble tombs made for two emperors.

D. the story of the Taj Mahal

39. The emperor’s own tomb was designed to be ______.

A. 5 meters high       B. six-sided

C. black-coloured       D. white-coloured

40. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahal?

A. It was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.

B. A lot of people took part in the building work.

C. It is a magnificent building.

D. It is a tomb for the emperor’s beloved wife.
