Finding a balance:my tai chi experience
When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated①. I always believed tai chi was for old people.After the first class, however, I had to admit② that I had been wrong about tai chi. It was amazing③! One year later,I can honestly say it has had a huge effect④ on me physically and mentally.Just as importantly⑤, practising tai chi has inspired⑥ me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
该句是复合句。when引导时间状语从句;其中谓语动词suggested后跟宾语从句,从句使用了省略should的虚拟语气。
①hesitate/'hezIteIt/vi.犹豫,迟疑
②admit/əd'mIt/vt.& vi.承认;招认;准许进入;准许加入
③amazing adj.令人惊讶的(常用于修饰事物)
④effect n.效果;影响;结果;作用;实行;生效
affect vt.影响;侵袭;感染;打动
⑤just as importantly 同样重要的是
⑥inspire/In'spaIə(r)/vt.激励,鼓舞;启发思考;使产生(感觉或情感)
找到平衡:我的太极经验
当我的朋友第一次建议我们加入学校里新的太极俱乐部时,我犹豫了一下。我一直认为太极拳是老年人的运动。然而,第一节课后,我不得不承认我对太极的看法是错误的。它太棒了!一年后,我可以诚实地说,它对我的身体和精神产生了重大影响。同样重要的是,练太极拳激发了我去探索它背后的中国文化。
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination⑦, with descriptive⑧ names like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg”. When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi.Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from⑨ a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts⑩,
developed tai chi based⑪ on martial arts skills. No wonder⑫ some tai chi moves are named after⑬ animals—Chinese martial arts have a long-standing practice of imitating⑭ animals. Chen Wangting's original⑮ set of moves is called Chen-style tai chi, but other styles of tai chi have since been developed, including Yang-style, Wu-style and Sun-style.
该句是复合句。when引导时间状语从句,其中where引导的从句作ask的宾语。
该句是简单句。a 13th-century Taoist作同位语,after是介词。

⑬be named after以……名字命名
⑭ imitate/'ImIteIt/vt.仿效;模仿
⑮original adj.原始的;最初的;有独创性的;原版的n.原版;原作
前几堂太极拳课很好玩,也不难学,这些动作有着像“白鹤亮翅”“金鸡独立”这样画面感很强的名称,实在令我着迷。当我问教练这些有趣的名字从何而来时,他告诉了我有关太极的历史。据说,13世纪的道教大师张三丰从一条蛇和一只鸟的打斗中获得灵感,发明了太极。不过,现在人们往往认为,太极拳是由17世纪的中国武术大师陈王廷在武术套路的基础上创编的。中国武术有着模仿动物的悠久传统,一些太极动作以动物命名也就不足为奇了。陈王廷最初的一套动作被称为陈式太极,但后来又发展了其他的太极风格,包括杨式、吴式和孙式。
After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again. Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus⑯ on peace of mind while performing the routine. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction⑰ that my balance and flexibility⑱ slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
该句是简单句。after是介词;found myself bored and aching是“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。
该句是复合句。taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine是“teach+宾语+宾语补足语”结构;how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine作宾语补足语,其中使用了while引导的状语从句的省略形式。
该句是复合句。“with+名词+介词短语”复合结构作状语,主句谓语动词found后面跟了三个that引导的宾语从句。
⑯focus n.焦点;焦距;中心v.(使)集中;聚集
focus on 集中于……
⑰to one's satisfaction 使某人满意;令某人满意的是
satisfaction /ˌsætIs'fækʃn/ n.满意;满足,达到
⑱flexibility n.灵活性;弹性;适应性
flexible adj.柔韧的;灵活的;易弯曲的
在刚开始的几节课里,我学习了太极拳的基础知识,我发现自己在一遍又一遍地做同样的动作时感到厌烦和痛苦。幸运的是,我的教练教我在做这些动作时如何放松肌肉,并集中精力保持内心的平静。让我欣慰的是,记住太极拳的这些要求后,我发现自己的平衡性和柔韧性慢慢有所改善,我能完成难度更大的动作,而且我比以前更喜爱太极拳了。
In time, I began to look into⑲ the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi.I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in⑳ the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites. Neither can exist independent of㉑ the other; for example, there is no shadow without light.The practice of tai chi aims㉒ to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right,breathing in and breathing out. Eventually, tai chi brings about㉓ a state of physical balance and mental peace.
该句是简单句。主语中心词是practice,谓语是aims,动词不定式短语作宾语。
⑲look into调查,研究
⑳be rooted in 起源于
㉑independent adj.独立的;自主的
be independent of 独立于……之外
㉒aim n.目标,目的;瞄准vi.打算,计划 vt.& vi.(使)瞄准;目的在于
aim to do sth./be aimed at doing sth. 旨在做某事
㉓bring about带来;引起
随着时间的推移,我开始研究太极背后的中国古代文化。我发现太极拳深深植根于中国的阴阳哲学,中国哲学认为阴和阳是既对立又统一的。两者都不能独立存在;例如,没有光就没有阴影。练习太极拳的目的是通过相反的动作来保持身体的阴阳平衡:向前和向后,向上和向下,向左和向右,吸气和呼气。最终,太极拳带来了身体平衡和心态平和的状态。
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday life.I sleep better at night, and I am more energetic during the day.I feel happier and more confident㉔. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise㉕ tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me. 10
该句是简单句。enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations是动词-ing形式作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。
10 该句是复合句。sure后面是宾语从句,it has brought me是定语从句,修饰benefits。
㉔confident adj.自信的;有信心的
confidence n.自信;信心;把握;信赖
㉕practise n.实行,实践;实习,练习;经验;惯例,常规vt.& vi.练习;经常做

Starting a daily running routine needs determination.Looking back on my old running routine, it wasn't so much the passion that affected my sticking to a regular schedule—but it was the environment.There had to be no rain pouring down, there had to be not many people on the basketball court and the ambient (周围的) temperature had to be just right.Or maybe I was just making an excuse for myself not to get up at 5 in the morning?
I was quite successful at doing so when I was 15 and when it was summer.When I was overweight, I ate more snacks than the actual full meals in a day, and I hardly got off the sofa.One summer day, I decided that it was time to put a stop to the idea that I was just the fat kid.I didn't want to put in that box anymore.There was a tipping point (临界点) where inspiration happened, and discipline (自律) just took over from there.I needed to make sure that I ran 10 laps of the park a day—this was the contract (契约) I made with myself that summer.And if I achieved that, I knew I'd be closer to my goal of being just a kid with normal weight.
Ten laps, six days a week—sometimes no breakfast, hardly a bite at dinner, one snack a day—this lasted two months.I'd lost over 30 pounds that summer, which was roughly a quarter of my body weight.Some days, I didn't have the motivation.But the contract I made with myself kept reminding me—if I'd break it, would I even bother making future self-contracts anymore? There were sleepy days, and there were days when I should have rested my trembling knees, but discipline won over them all.

Businesses are finding more uses for virtual reality (VR) as the technology develops.
VR is no longer only for gaming or enjoyment.An American company called Blue Goji is using VR to improve one's health by making exercise more fun.
Blue Goji has offices in Austin, the capital of Texas.The company showed its workout machine called the Infinity treadmill (跑步机) at the South by Southwest festival.A person using the treadmill wears a virtual reality headset when exercising.Before starting, the user is connected to a belt to prevent falls.Then, the user plays a VR game while running on the machine.The game can transport the user into the virtual world, where he or she can be racing against virtual people.
The cost of the hardware and the computer software program is $12,000.That means much for most people.But Kyra Constam of Blue Goji says the virtual reality treadmill is ideal for places where people go to exercise, like high-end gyms or recreation centers.
Recently, Leonardo Mattiazzi tested the Infinity treadmill.Mattiazzi said he had a strong feeling to actually get running and do something that pushed his limits.He said the experience was more interesting than running inside the gym without actually going anywhere.
Constam noted that a lot of VR experiences cause motion sickness (晕动病) because people are in motion during the game, but not moving in real life.But when the user is moving on the treadmill and in the game, the chances of motion sickness are reduced.She said there is generally a learning curve for VR.The first time users feel lost, but the more you do it, the more you get used to it.
After carefully studying the users' experiences, Blue Goji plans to begin selling the Infinity treadmill to the public.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章指出虚拟现实技术不再仅限于游戏或娱乐。一家名为Blue Goji的公司通过虚拟现实技术使锻炼更加有趣来吸引人们锻炼身体,从而改善人们的健康状况。
