The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China's Tai Chi on the RepresentativeList of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.

“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.

Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.

In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic

Games.

4. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2? A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action. B. It was born around the 1750s in a village. C. It is related to other cultural fields ofChina.

D. It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.

5. Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi? A. They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit. B. The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi. C. They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people. D. Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi. 6. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To promote contemporary Chinese civilization. B. To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi. C. To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters. D. To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases. 7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCO's List. B. Tai Chi is Competing against Yoga. C. Tai Chi Has Regained populate Globally. D. Opinions Greatly Differ on Tai Chi and Yoga.

Someday soon an emoji (表情符号)might really save lives.

Hiroyuki Komatsu is a Google engineer who suggested adding a series of new emojis to the standard emoji library. It could help those with food allergies (过敏)understand what they are eating anywhere inthe world. Emojis should cover characters representing major food causing allergies. They make people understand what are used in foods even in foreign countries and safely select meals.

Emojis are universal because they are chosen and developed by the Unicode Consortium, a non-profit company that oversees, develops and maintains how text is represented. This is in regards to all software products and standards. It's thanks to the Unicode Standard that when you text a friend six pizza emojis, they’ll see those

six pizza pieces on their phone. This is true regardless of whether they use an iPhone or an Android.

Because emojis are everywhere and visual(视觉的),they could be helpful for restaurants and food packaging designers. They can communicate whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food. But as Komatsu’s advice argues, many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the present emoji library. For example, there is an emoji for octopus, but nothing for squid. There is a loaf of bread that could symbolize grain, but a picture of wheat could be clearer. The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.

It’s not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library: several food-related emojis were put into use last June, including some long-waited food emojis. Apple included support for multiracial emojis in a recent iOS update. An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters. Some might be sorry for the continuing death of the written word if Komatsu’s suggestion is accepted, but look on the bright side: if you ever see that happy poop on a box, you’ll know to stay away. 8. How will emojis save lives according to the text? A. By showing what the food contains visually. B. By telling the safest places in the world. C. By teaching people how to treat allergies. D. By adding standard emojis about safety. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?

A. Emojis have the same meanings around the world. B. The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit company. C. What emojis represent is different in different places. D. Different mobile operating systems have different emojis. 10. What can be the reason for Komatsu’s advice?

A. Emojis are easy to mix up. B. Present emojis are not enough.

C. Emojis can't interest most users. D. Emojis can't represent foods directly. 11. What is the author’s attitude to Komatsu's suggestion? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
