【题目】Getting Ready for Yoga

Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga (瑜珈). It’s what more and more people have been turning to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.

However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.

First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing.

Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to registering. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.

Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.

Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The trend may change quickly, but you can benefit from practicing yoga anyway.

1The underlined word” non-eligible” in the 4th paragraph most probably means ________.

A.unqualifiedB.in experienced

C.unrespectableD.unpopular

2Which of the following is the author’s advice?

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了报名上瑜伽课之前需要了解的几件事。

1词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them.“its worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join”可知,该段建议你找有资格的俱乐部练习瑜伽。因为目前中国没有那么多训练有素的认证瑜伽教练。对于画线词所在句子可知,一个没有资格的瑜伽老师会对你进行错误的引导。故该画线词应指没有资格的,故选A

2推理判断题。根据第二段“However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.”和最后一段中的Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act.可知,作者建议你在参加瑜伽课之前要了解几件事,然后再考虑上瑜伽课。由此推知,作者并不建议读者盲目地追随潮流练瑜伽。故选D

3推理判断题。根据第二段“There are several things you need to know before you really take it”以及下文中“First…; Second; Third”可知,作者主要是介绍一些参加瑜伽课之前需要了解的注意事项。结合选项:B(为那些想上瑜伽课的人提供一些建议)符合语境。故选B

4推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle.”可知,瑜伽是印度传统哲学圣经《吠陀》的一部分。所以它可以被视为一种生活方式。由此可知,瑜伽和印度文化有关。故选C

The Sculptor Speaks

Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in three dimensions(维度). That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve 1 of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by 2 of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they 3 the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may 4 considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉,感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to 5 form in its full spatial existence.

This is what the sculptor must do. He must 6 continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head—he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He 7 visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to 8 himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.

And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as 9, not as description or reminiscence(回忆,联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the 10 idea that it will become a bird. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.
