25、Nelson Mandela was regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the world. He died at the age of 95. He became his country’s first black president after 27 years in prison. Do you want to know why he spent so many years in prison? Read more and find more facts.
When Nelson Mandela was a young man, white and black people in South Africa lived separate lives. White people, who were a small part of the population, were in charge of the country. At that time, it was illegal for black people to use the same schools, hospitals, and even beaches as white people. Mandela was lucky. He was one of the few black people in the 1950s of South Africa to receive education and become a successful lawyer.
Nelson Mandela believed that everybody should be treated equally. He joined some different demonstrations to fight against a system called apartheid.
Sometimes the demonstrations turned violent and in 1962 Mandela was sent to a prison which was on Robben Island. But many people around the world campaigned for his release. Songs were written and big concerts were held in protest. Finally in 1990 the South African President FW de Klerk--a white man--allowed him to go free. Mandela had spent 27 years in prison and was greeted as a hero on his release.

26、Bad news travels fast – when you watch the evening news or read the morning papers, it seems that things that get the most coverage are all sad events or situations like wars, earthquakes, floods, fires and murders.
This is the classic rule for mass media (大众传媒). ―They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling,‖ Jonah Berger, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, US, told The New York Times.
But with social media getting more and more popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rules – good news can actually spread faster and farther than bad accidents and other sad stories.
Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website and analyzed (分析) the ―most e-mailed‖ list for six months.
One of his findings was that articles in the science part were much more likely to make the list. Those science stories waked up feelings of awe (敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.
Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article was, the more likely it was to be shared,”Berger wrote in his new book. “For example, stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City,” he writes, “seemed to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”
But does all this good news actually make the readers feel better? Not necessarily.
According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, people are more likely to say more positive things about themselves when they’re talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on micro blogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that they’re less happy than their friends.
But no worries. There’s a quick and easy way to take the despair from you that you get from viewing other people’s seemingly perfect lives – turn on the television and watch the news. There is always someone doing worse than you are.
【1】 In Berger’s opinion, bad news covers most papers because ______.
A. the public cares for reading sad events
B. mass media wants to attract the public’s attention
C. the public tries to share positive feelings with each other
D. mass media wants the public to help those unlucky people
【2】Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?
A. The perfect vacation of your friend.
B. The death of a popular zookeeper.
C. The story of a creative scientist.
D. The flood hitting a small town.
【3】We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. bad news always makes people sad
B. good news sometimes has negative influence
C. people can remove despair by reading good news
D. people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audience
【4】 What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Good News Spreads Fast
B. The Power of Good News
C. The Effect of Bad News
D. Bad News Travels Fast
27、At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, tai chi performers impressed the whole world. A total of 2008 performers stood in a large circle and moved in slow, calm and powerful motions (动作) in their white silk uniforms.
Tai chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the world. According to Xinhua, this ancient martial art is practised by over 100 million people in more than 150 countries. It was recently added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录).
One thing that makes tai chi popular is its health benefits. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention—just as in some kinds of meditation (冥想)—on your body. This helps you relax and find inner peace.
According to Harvard Health, tai chi is suitable for almost anyone, from healthy people to those recovering from surgery (手术). This is because its movements are never forced—the muscles arc relaxed rather than tensed, and the joints (关节) are never fully bent (弯曲). It is all gain and no pain.
What makes tai chi even more interesting might be the philosophical (哲学) ideas behind it. The term “tai chi” comes from Taoism, which states that inaction, as opposed to action, is the solution to 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 principle of tai chi is to use softness to beat hardness.
Tai chi also focuses on harmony between yin and yang. For example, if you work too hard and feel tired, you have too much “yang”. So it is time for you to calm down and get more “yin”. This idea of keeping a healthy balance can be applied to everything in life. It makes tai chi far more than just another martial art.
【1】In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells the readers __________.
A.how popular tai chi is

D.Tai chi is suitable for everyone.
【3】The principle of tai chi comes from the idea of __________.
A.meditation

C.taoism
D.harmony
