1 I don’t mean to sound easy about the economy and the tough times people are

going through. The situation is a very serious one, but, perhaps, these rough economic times can teach us all a thing or two about what is really important in life.

The things I have come to love and cherish, and the things which always seem to calm my spirit and soul, are the simple things in life. I would much rather take a peaceful walk at our local nature center than to spend an expensive day being prepared at the place for relaxing and health improving. And, hey, my car may be seven years old, but it has never given me any problems and it gets me to the same place a brand new Lexus would.

And what makes simple and cost-effective activities much more enjoyable for me is to share them with my family. We love getting together just to share each other’s company. We don’t have to go to a theme park or even to a movie to have a good time. We love watching DVDs, eating popcorn and joking around. We also love to take long walks in nature with our special glasses and our cameras capturing the beauty of God’s creation and taking goofy pictures of ourselves.

I was kidding my fourteen-year-old great-niece the other day, asking her what she was going to get me for Christmas. Her immediate and worried response was that she did not have any money. Amanda is a wonderful poet, so I told her to “just write me a poem entitled, Aunt La Verne”. Things, gifts, activities don’t have to involve money. A simple poem from Amanda’ heart will give me warm feelings for the rest of my life, and I hope Amanda learned a lesson from our little encounter as well. I focus on what I have instead of on what I don’t have in life. Houses, jobs, and health will come and go, but the love and enjoyment of family can support me through any kind of situation, including a rough economy. 1.What can these rough economic times teach us? A.One or two useful skills. B.The very serious situation. C.One or two things about life. D.All the important things in life.

2.What lesson will Amanda learn from her encounter with her aunt? A.Her aunt was fond of presents.

B.A simple poem will make a big gift. C.Her aunt liked her poem very much. D.Money is very important in life. 3.The passage mainly tells us _____. A.how serious the economic situation is

B.how to choose a present C.what nature brings us

D.what's really important in life

2. Kung fu is one of a number of Chinese martial arts designed to improve the body and the mind. It is perhaps one of the most widely known martial arts, because many films include its techniques. There are hundreds of styles taught all over the world, although they can be loosely divided into two camps: Shaolin style kung fu, and other techniques, some of which have a history that outdates the Shaolin order. Shaolin kung fix has its origins in the fifth century. Like some other martial arts, it began in religious temples, where the monks sought a mind and body discipline (训练方法). In addition to the fighting style, it also includes mental exercises and religious practices designed to balance the whole body. Shaolin temples resembled universities, integrating a wide range of subjects of study. Therefore, traditional Shaolin styles such as Wing Chun, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Hung Gar took knowledge from fields outside martial arts, such as the healing arts and meditation. Supporters for Shaolin styles believe that they are more rounded martial arts styles, and that learners will benefit from them on a whole body level.

Other fighting styles, some of which predate the Shaolin style, are also lumped under the kung fu umbrella. They include Pa-Kua, Eagle Claw, and Eight Drunken Immortals styles. These disciplines are not considered to be Shaolin style because they did not originate in temples and are focused primarily on fighting techniques.

Whether Shaolin or otherwise, kung fu is characterized by self defense strategies that turn the energy of an attacker against him or her. Although the techniques may vary, most styles teach throws, kicks, punches, and the use of weapons. In addition to the physical discipline, most place a great importance on respect, honor, and living a balanced life. 1.What is the text mainly about?

A.The reason why kung fu is important. B.The different styles of Shaolin kung fu. C.The functions and branches of kung fu.

D.The differences between Shaolin style and others.

2.We can learn from the first paragraph that kung fu______. A.is good for people physically and mentally B.has the longest history in Shaolin temples C.is something that are taught in many films D.has only two important styles left at present

3.Which of the following is true about Shaolin kung fu according to the text? A.Shaolin kung fu was invented earlier than other styles. B.Some Shaolin styles are connected with healing arts. C.Wing Chun is not included in Shaolin Style kung fu,

D. Pa-Kua and Eagle Claw are under Shaolin Style umbrella. 4.What do most styles of kung fu have in common?

A.They all began in religious temples in China.

B.They teach physical skills instead of use of weapons. C.They focus on attacking the enemy first with your energy. D.They require learners to be respectful and honor themselves.

It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny. Walking over to the 1 , I asked for the note. Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the

quiet 2 between the teacher and the student. When she finally handed it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.” It was a hand-drawn 3 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
