After arriving in New Jersey, US, for a one-year cultural exchange program, I noticed that many local people love Chinese culture. I felt like sharing our culture with them. As one of the 13th-generation disciples of Chen-style tai chi, I set up a tai chi club for local primary students. My tai chi program lasted for 10 weeks, with classes taking place every Tuesday.

I have been in several cultural exchange programs before, but I haven’t really worked with little kids. It was a little intimidating for me at first. Kids are extremely noisy and active. It was challenging enough just to take control of the class. In the beginning, we could only go over a few gestures during each class, as I spent most of my time working on class discipline (紀(jì)律).

However, as the class went on, we grew more and more familiar with each other.? Slowly, I found the fun and sense of achievement that lies under the kids’ nervousness and tiredness. Watching the kids learn tai chi under my instruction was exciting. Nothing made me happier than seeing their smiles after learning a new gesture. With each punch, kick and stretch, I could sense their progress and their interest in learning. They asked me many questions about tai chi.

This experience also improved my leadership. I realized that it was important to unite the whole class and encourage kids to help one another when they meet difficulties. I will try my best to spread tai chi culture here.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。

[1]China’s “four great new inventions” in modern times have made the daily life of the public more and more convenient. They are the high-speed railway(HSR), shopping online, shared bikes and mobile phone payment.

[2]Living in Hong Kong, I knew them from the papers, the TV and the Internet. But last month I had the chance to experience all of them.

[3]As usual, the golden week stopped the traffic. (73)It was hard to get a railway ticket anywhere in the train stations. But I bought a train ticket to Beijing on the Internet and paid for it through Zhifubao. It was even cheaper than it was bought in the station. Then we got on the high-speed train. I was shocked at its speed and quietness. There was no noise which the train made while running. It was reported that China has the longest high-speed railway in the world, which is regarded as a “name card” for China.

[4]China’s HSR has also gone abroad. In 2014, China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in Turkey. In June 2015, China and Russia agreed to build the 770 km of high-speed railway connecting Moscow and Kazan. In October 2015, China helped Indonesia to build a high-speed rail between Jakarta and Bandung.

[5]Did I feel bored during the trip on the train? Not at all. I bought many cheap and good things in Taobao and Tmall on the Internet through my mobile phone. It’s amazing that there are oceans of products in Taobao and Tmall. [6]Soon we arrived in Beijing. We got on a bus near the train station. (74) getting off the bus, my friend told me that the bus stop is far from his home. I thought we would have to spend much money going to his home on a taxi, but it seemed that he wasn’t worried about that. He showed me some bikes on the side of the street. They are called shared bikes. We only need to use our mobile phones to scan(掃描) the QuickResponse code(二維碼) on shared bikes, then we could ride the bikes anywhere we wanted to go. It was so cool!

1.Where did the writer buy many good and cheap things?

___________________________________________________

2.Which is the first foreign country that China build the high-speed railway?(no more than two words)

___________________________________________________

3.Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese.

____________________________________________________

4.Fill in the blank in the sixth paragraph with proper words.(no more than two words)

____________________________________________________

5.選擇文章的主旨大意,將字母代號(hào)填寫(xiě)在答題線上。________

A. The differences between Beijing and Hong Kong

B. How the writer went to Beijing

C. China’s “four great new inventions”
