" But after the first few classes, I learned how wrong I was——it was amazing! The first few Tai Chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination（想象）, with creative 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 the history of Tai Chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist（道家）, first got the idea of Tai Chi moves after watching a fight between a bird and a snake. About four hundred years later, Chen Wangting developed Tai Chi according to kungfu moves. Some of these kungri u moves copied animal actions（动作）. That's why some Tai Chi moves are named after animals. However, after a few weeks, I grew bored and ached from making the same moves again and again. Luckily, my coach was kind. He taught me how to relax my muscles（肌肉）and pay attention to the peace of mind. Slowly, l improved and even learned harder moves. My coach said Tai Chi balanced（平衡）yin and yang through slow, opposite actions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. This brought both balance in the body and calmness in mind. My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever. Thanks to a year of practice, great changes have taken place in myself. I sleep better and feel more active, even though I am busy with study. Tai Chi has made me happier and more confident when I face problems. I' ll certainly keep practising——it's a lifelong gift! 5．Why did the writer say no to the Tai Chi Club at first? A．Because he thought Tai Chi was for the old. B．Because he didn't know how to play Tai Chi. C．Because playing Tai Chi was too hard for him. D．Because playing Tai Chi was too slow and soft. 6．What has the writer learned in the Tai Chi Club? A．Tai Chi is famous because of its interesting names. B．Zhang Sanfeng developed fun and easy Tai Chi moves. C．The balance of yin and yang relaxes the body and the mind. D．Chen Wangting watched a fight between a bird and a snake. 7．How did the writer's love for learning Tai Chi change? A． B． C． D． 8．What's the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of Tai Chi. B．The advice on learning Tai Chi. C．The interesting moves of Tai Chi. D．The experiences of learning Tai Chi. 阅读下面短文，从所给的A、B、C、D中选出最佳答案并回答问题 A simple exclamation mark（感叹号）can greatly change a sentence's meaning. Look at this example:" Duck. "(Maybe someone sees a bird. ) and" Duck!"(Someone's warning you to move!). This small mark"!" carries a strong feeling behind the word itself. The exclamation mark first appeared in writing and is believed to come from the Latin word "io", which means" joy". ▲ First of all, people usc it to show different feelings such as excitement, anger, or joy clcarly and strongly. For example, in the sentence "I can't believe we won!", you can tell how excited the speaker is. When you read the sentence" He did what?!", you will surely think there must be something surprising happening. The writer just easily makes you interested. What's more, in some sentences, exclamation marks improve friendly communication by adding warmth and entbusiasm（热情）, such as" Happy birthday!" or" See you soon!". Using exclamation marks can be an easy way to tell others how you feel without giving more words. However, not all people agree with the tradition. The famous writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said that exclamation marks are the same as "laughing at your own jokes". They may even make the readers feel the writer is shouting at them. No one enjoys being shouted at. They might force（强迫）readers to feel a certain way. Readers don't want to be told how to read. They want to be free to understand the words in their own ways. So a good writer should not take shortcuts（捷径）. They can create feelings with just good words and sentences, no matter what kind of feeling it is. So. . . to"!" or not to"!"? Think twice before you use the mark. 9．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a joke. B．By using numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 10．Which of the following can be put into ▲ in the passage? A．The use of exclamation marks has a long history. B．People have different ideas on exclarnation marks. C．Exclamation marks are useful in different situations. D．Problems may appear when people use exclamation marks. 11．What did F. Scott Fitzgerald want to tell us? A．Using exclamation marks makes writings more friendly. B．Good writers shouldn't use exclamation marks too often. C．Exclamation marks make readers laugh at writers' jokes. D．Readers should be free to understand exclamation marks. 12．How do you use exclamation marks? And give an example. 阅读下面短文，从所给的A、B、C、D中选出最佳答案。 I arrived on a cold winter night, shaking and feeling tired . I searched for any kind of place to stay and found a small empty doghouse.
