Chinese culture.
Taichi is common in China. If you walk through a park, you might see people doing these slow and beautiful actions. They are doing Taichi, an ancient art called Wushu. Doing Taichi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move freely. During slow actions we can pay special attention to our hands and feet. We can control them better. Taichi also mixes slow actions and deep breaths perfectly. People will become healthier by practicing it.
But Taichi is more than a kind of sport. It shows how we see the
world as well. The world is full of yin and yang, such as dark and
light, soft and hard, full and empty etc. Taichi sets up good relationships between yin and yang, while they aren’t opposite. Just like the picture, a white circle is in the black area and a black circle is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world. Yin and yang depend on each other and make a difference to each other. That is why humans can get on well with nature and people can use softness to beat hardness. Taichi makes full of yin and yang.
In China, Taichi has been practiced for about 600 years. At present, more people are encouraged to join in the Taichi and pass it on. Over 100 million people in more than 150 countries practice Taichi. It is getting more and more popular in the world.
51. The actions of Taichi are ________.
A. slow and beautiful
B. quick and free
C. quick and beautiful
D. quick and light
52. The underlined word “them” refers to (指的是) ________.
A. Wushu and sport
B. walking and moving
C. hands and feet
D. sports

A. It shows us that yin and yang are opposite.
B. It shows us that nothing is changing.
C. It shows us the relationships between yin and yang.
D. It shows that it is bad for our health.
54. How long has Taichi been practiced in China?

B. For about 100 years.
C. For about 150 years.
