The boy was doing well, but he couldn’t understand why, after three months, the teacher taught him only one move. “Sir,” the boy finally asked, “Why don’t you teach me more moves?” “This is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher answered.

The third match was more difficult, but after some time, he used his one move to win the match. In the next and last match, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger and more experienced.

On the way home, the boy asked his teacher, “Sir, how could I win the competition with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” the teacher replied, “First, you’re learned one of the most difficult moves in all of judo.

But Yang Liu, a girl in Guizhou, dances in an unusual place. Her stage is a single bamboo pole (竿子). Yang is a performer of bamboo drifting (独竹漂). It is a traditional skill in the girl’s hometown. In the past, the local people crossed the rivers by riding on a bamboo pole. Now, bamboo drifting has developed into a folk sport. Yang started to learn bamboo drifting at the age of seven. The bamboo pole is very wet and it never stops moving. Yang fell into the water again and again. But the girl didn’t want to give up. She always got back up on the pole and tried again. She practised hard every day for three years. Finally, she was able to keep her balance (平衡) on the pole. But Yang didn’t just stop there. She wanted to live out her dream of becoming a dancer on a bamboo pole. The girl practised many difficult movements on the pole. She failed endless times, but she never stopped trying. Her hard work finally paid off. Now 26, Yang has made a name for herself as a dancer on a bamboo pole. People can’t believe their eyes whenever they watch her shows. Through Yang’s dances, many people now know about bamboo drifting. They have found the beauty of this traditional skill. 23. Where does Yang Liu dance? A. In a theater. B. In the park. C.

A. funny B. interesting C. polite D. hard-working D “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,”said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. 27. Why do foreigners love the sentence “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” A. Because it helps find someone better. B. Because it is funny and cool. C. Because it is easy to remember. D. Because it is from a poem. 28. Which is true about Chinglish? A. It has few grammar mistakes. B. Only Chinese people speak it. C. It usually shows Chinese culture. D.
