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.

Thomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of our time, was born on June 2, 1840, in Dorsetshire, England. He died on January 11, 1928. In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.
For five years he worked hard to practise writing poetry, but when he was twenty-seven, Hardy turned to fiction. His first story was accepted two years later, but upon the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. His first novel, Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871. During the next twenty-five years he published fourteen novels and two collections of short stories.
Under the Greenwood Tree (1872) he never surpassed(超越)in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A pair of Blue Eyes (1873), begin to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy’s writings.
Far from the madding Crowd (1874) was his first popular success. In it is shown Hardy’s amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of D’Urbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fifty-eight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixty-four when the first part of The Dymats, surprised the literary world.
1.How did Thomas Hardy benefit from his architectural career?
A. He could practice writing while working. B. He made a lot of money to support his writing.
C. He found material for his novels and poems. D. He applied architectural knowledge in his novels.
2.What is Thomas Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?
A. One of his masterworks. B. One of his best collections of poems.
C. His best novel in perfection of art. D. His first popular success.
3.Which of the following is one of his novels of character and environment?
A. Desperate Remedies. B. A pair of Blue Eyes. C. Tess of D’Urbervilles D. The Dymats.
4.What type of writing is this text?
A. A biography. B. A book review. C. A novel. D. A news report.
