5．Jonny：Hey!I'm just practicing Tai Chi （太极）．Would you like to join me？
Peter：I know nothing about it．Is it （61）difficult？
Jonny：It seems easy，but you need a lot of practice．You just follow me like this．
Peter：OK．Don't laugh （62）at me．I may look funny．

Peter：I can't control my body well．My legs become （64）painful （pain）．
Jonny：Keep （65）holding （hold） your position for a while．It helps develop your strength and flexibility．Raise your leg and let （66）it stay in the air for seconds．
Peter：I feel my legs shaking．I can't do this any longer．
Jonny：Be patient!Tai Chi （67）is called （call）"shadow boxing"in English．It asks you to act like water：to be flexible as well （68）as strong．In real competition，a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back．The （69）harder （hard） you try to beat him，the more likely you will get hit．He controls you!
Peter：Unbelievable!Oh…，（70）if you don't mind，I'll stop and take a deep breath．

4．Learners of English，especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers．The following ways might help improve their listening ability．

2．Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings．The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities．It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions，ocean drilling，and ship engines．Such noises are added to natural sounds．These sounds include the breaking of ice fields，underwater earthquakes，and sounds made by animals themselves．
Decibels （分贝） measured in water are different from those measured on land．A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears．In water，a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect．
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans．They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales．
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals．The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing．This seriously affected the whales'ability to exchange information and find their way．Some of the whales even died．The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected．
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels．They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research．
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals．However，many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed．They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．
29．According to the passage，which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures？A

1．How to improve my life？Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them．They'll say，"This is my fate，my destiny．I cannot change it．"
Of course not!You don't have to suffer needlessly．Your destiny depends on you，not on any other external factors．
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it．Guess what her lifestyle is？She wakes up in the morning，goes to work，comes back home，relaxes，chats with people，watches TV，then goes to sleep．Next day，the same routine cycle follows．
Huh!Is this what she calls"doing her best"？She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live； that her luck can only change if God wills it．Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest，but we have to do our share of exerting （运用） the effort to live the life of our dreams．
Remember that you harvest what you sow．You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky．You have to get off the couch，get your eyes off the TV screen，get your hands off the phone．Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it．If something goes wrong，don't just regard it as a temporary setback； but use it as feedback．Learn your lesson，make the most of the situation，and do something to solve the problem．It's not enough to think positively； you also have to act positively．
If someone's life is in the trouble，do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine？Of course not!You get to do anything you can to save the person．So it is with your own life．It is not enough to hope for the best，but you have to do your best．In other words，don't just stand （or sit） there，do something to improve your life．

20．What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear．
We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．It needs exercise．Mental exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists （心理学家） think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent．If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children．According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did．"or"You are such a smart child．"

19．About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked："So，how have you been？"And the boy，who could not have been more than seven or eight years old，replied，"To tell the truth，I've been feeling a little depressed （压抑） lately．"
His words stuck in my mind because it confirmed （证实） my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember，my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"until we were in high school．
Children don't seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why？
Human development is based not only on natural biological states，but also on ways of getting social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually needs to learn the secrets of the new social role．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages：traditionally，we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．
In the last 30years，however，television has passed information to all viewers．Unable to resist （抵制） the temptation （诱惑），many children turn their attention from printed texts to more interesting moving pictures．
Communication through print，in fact，allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children can get．Reading and writing need symbols that must be memorized and practiced．Children must read simple books before they can read difficult materials．

A．a sign of a psychology （心理） problem in a child

A．It can contraol what children are to learn at a proper age．
B．It develops children's interest in reading and writing．
C．It helps children to remember and practice more knowledge．
