【解析】

1.at 考查介词。句意是：不要嘲笑我。这里使用了词组：laugh at“嘲笑”。用介词at

2.softly 考查副词。句意：慢慢弯曲膝盖，象树枝一样自然地轻柔地伸展手臂。用副词softly修饰reach out。

3.painful考查形容词。根据上文的内容，可知Peter不能控制自己的身体，腿很疼。形容词painful“疼的”。

4.holding考查动名词。句意：保持这个姿势一段时间。Keep后面接动名词：holding。

5.it 考查动名词。句意：保持这个姿势一段时间。Keep后面接动名词：holding。

6.is called考查被动语态。句意：太极在英语中被称为是shadow boxing，这里用一般现在时的被动：is called。

7.as 考查词组句意：它要求你表现的象水一样，要灵活也要有力。As well as 也。。和。。

8.harder 考查固定句型。你越是努力击败他，就越可能被击败。使用了the+比较级+主谓，the+比较级+主谓的句型，填harder

9.if 考查连词。这句话的意思是：如果你不介意，我会停下来，喘口气。使用if引导时间状语从句。

10.breath 考查名词。take a deep breath深呼吸，喘口气。

考点：语法填空。
