I felt like sharing our culture with them. As one of the 13th-generation disciples of Chen-style tai chi, I set up a tai chi club for local primary students. My tai chi program lasted for 10 weeks, with classes taking place every Tuesday.I have been in several cultural exchange programs before, but I havent really worked with little kids. It was a little intimidating for me at first. Kids are extremely noisy and active. It was challenging enough just to take control of the class. In the beginning, we could only go over a few gestures during each class, as I spent most of my time working on class discipline (纪律).However, as the class went on, we grew more and more familiar with each other. Slowly, I found the fun and sense of achievement that lies under the kids nervousness and tiredness. Watching the kids learn tai chi under my instruction was exciting. Nothing made me happier than seeing their smiles after learning a new gesture. With each punch, kick and stretch, I could sense their progress and their interest in learning. They asked me many questions about tai chi.This experience also improved my leadership. I realized that it was important to unite the whole class and encourage kids to help one another when they meet difficulties. I will try my best to spread tai chi culture here.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A . The author is good at tai chi.B . Foreigners have no interest in tai chi.C .

Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg. The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists (科学家) know the answer to the question. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?Death Valley is one of the hottest place in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms (暴风雨) at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries (使变干) the ground.
