Ⅰ.阅读理解
Tai chi,a centuriesold Chinese martial art and an internationally popular form of exercise,has been added to the cultural heritage list of the UNESCO (United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization).
As its initial(最初) application was turned down in 2008,for more than 10 years,China has been trying to have tai chi—also known as taijiquan—recognised officially by the UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表名录).At the time,judges told China it had applied for too many listings for tai chi to be considered for a place.China was told to reduce its applications from listings,which included tai chi,Shaolin kung fu,Peking Opera and acupuncture(针灸).
According to the Mayo Clinic in the United States,doing tai chi can reduce stress,anxiety and depression,improve energy and stamina(耐力),strengthen the immune system(免疫) and reduce joint pain.“It is not just a sport to make people fit,but also contains Chinese culture and philosophy,” researcher Yan Shuangjun also told Xinhua News Agency.The application started in 2008 and now we made a victory,which will help this sport to reach more places.
Tai chi has a massive,devoted global following.Millions of elderly Chinese people practise it every day in city parks.Each year,tens of thousands of people from other countries come to China to learn it.Gisele Bundchen,one of the highestpaid models in the world,makes tai chi into her daily life.Others who have been attracted by its use in their lives include actors Terence Stamp and Paul Adrian,Bollywood star Kunal Kapoor,and musician RZA of the WuTang Clan—to say nothing of its importance to martial artists such as Jackie Chan,Bruce Lee and Jet Li.
