18．Today，tai chi's powers are shown in its popularity．Millions of lovers of tai chi around the world are using the form of martial arts as （61）an important healthcare practice to get control of （62）their  （they） health，improve performance，manage stress and slow down the progress of（63）getting  （get） old．On Dec 13，a new report by London Mayor Sadiq Khan （64）showed  （show） that tai chi had helped hundreds of older people in Britain's capital to stay fitter．For those who do it，tai chi can be practiced any time and anywhere without equipment or a gymnasium．And learning to do it （65）correctly  （correct） gives us a practical way to achieve such（66）things   （thing） as balance，motor control and rhythm of movement．So it is believed that practicing tai chi can in some way help us to stand，walk，move and run（67）better  （well）．
Tai chi's benefits certainly go（68）beyond physical ones．For Marleni Calcina from Peru，who practiced tai chi for more than 10years，it's not only a sport，but also a way of life．It is tai chi that （69）has taught/teaches （teach） her the value of"going slowly"．
She once felt great stress at work and in her life，but she began to change thanks to tai chi，（70）which  helped her"gain peace and inner harmony"，she told Xinhua News Agency．"For me now，practicing tai chi is like speaking with my soul．"

16．The percentage of women working in technology has decreased since the 1990s．Women make up only a quarter of all jobs in computer and math professions．I think all girls should learn how to code（编码）．Here is why．
If we want to be part of one of the fastest growing job markets out there，we need to jump on board!Over the last ten years the growth in STEM jobs has been three times faster than that in non-STEM fields．Women will never be able to keep up with men in the professional workplace if we don't join the fastest growing fields．
Just like hundreds of years ago，people who could read and write controlled the future，and now those who are at home with technology will shape the world we live in．You can use coding in every aspect of your life，even if you don't enter a field that involves coding．You cant use coding to create your own website or to program games．You can animate your YouTube videos，or make graphic designs．Programming is now being used in every profession，including medicine and airplane design．
You can have fun creating your own website，programming a robot to get the remote for you when you're lying on the couch，photoshop pictures to change the color scheme to something better than the Instagram filters，and so much more．Coding allows you to realize your wildest dream，and create anything you can imagine．Coding allows you to rule the world．
It's not very hard to learn to code．You could learn to code on YouTube，in the Girls Who Code club；you could take a free course online on Code Academy；you could even just Google how to code．
You learned to read，you learned to drive-now learn to code．

As we have learned English for a very long time，we may complain it．We once made a joke which foreigners should learn Chinese．Now，it was not a joke anymore．More and more foreign people are interesting in Chinese，and many of us learn Chinese well．There was a hot show calling Chinese Bridge．I had been seen the show，and I was very impressed by the foreign students，whom spoke Chinese very well．We should learn from those foreigner because they showed us a way to learn a language good．

19．Women are friendly．But men are more competitive．Why？Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin （荷尔蒙催生素）．Although known as the love hormone，it affects the sexes differently．
"Women tend to be social in their behavior．They often share with others．But men tend to be competitive．They are trying to improve their social status，"said Professor Ryan．
Generally，people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions （互动） such as falling in love or giving birth．
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy．
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships，but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship．
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37．Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin．The other half received placebo （安慰剂）．
After a week，the two groups switched with participants．They went through the same procedure with the other material．
Following each treatment，they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions．Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions．The questions were about telling friendship from competition．And their answers should be based on gestures，body language and facial expressions．
The results indicated that，after treatment with oxytocin，men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved，but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better．
Professor Ryan thus concluded："Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions．And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors （因素） that are mainly hormonal．"

C．Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others'success．
D．Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences．
27．Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment？A
A．To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions．

I had a interesting dream last night．I dreamed that I took part in a race．At first，I could not to run very fast and fell behind．So I didn't lose heart and kept running．All the students on the playground cheer me on，"Come on!"I was so encouraging that I ran faster and fast till I caught up all the other runners．I felt as if flying like a superman．In the end，I got to the finishing line first．I won the race．I felt very proudly of myself．Many of my classmate threw me up into the air．Just at that time I woke up and found me still in bed!
