三、阅读理解（共 20 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）

(A)

Tai Chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the

world.

One thing that makes Tai Chi popular is its value in health. As you move, you breathe deeply

and naturally, paying your attention to your body. This helps you relax and find peace in your

mind. According to Harvard Health, Tai Chi is suitable for almost anyone, from healthy people to

those who have disease. This is because its movements are never forced—the muscles( 肌肉 ) are

relaxed.

What makes Tai Chi even more interesting might be the philosophical( 哲学的 ) ideas behind

it. The word “Tai Chi” comes from Taoism( 道家 ), which thinks that inaction,__ opposite to action,

is the way to solve problems. That's why Tai Chi movements are slow and soft. It is not used to

fight an enemy—it is used to protect yourself. That doesn't mean it is weak though. The secret of

Tai Chi is to use softness to beat hardness.

When you think of Tai Chi, you might think of the famous yin － yang diagram( 图形 ). It

shows how ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and

light, soft and hard, male and female, life and death. But they do not absolutely opposite each

other. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything

keeps changing—that's how we should see the world.

Tai Chi also pays attention to the balance between yin and yang. For example, if you work

too hard and feel tired, you have too much “yang”. So it's time for you to calm down and get more

“yin”. This idea of keeping a healthy balance can be used in almost everything in life. It makes Tai

Chi far more than just a Chinese kung fu.
