If you walk through the park in the morning, you are probably used to seeing{#blank#}1{#/blank#}series of beautiful movements performed in a slow, focused manner with deep breathing.

    Today, Tai Chi's incredible powers are shown in its popularity. Millions of lovers of Tai Chi around the world are using the form of martial arts (武术){#blank#}2{#/blank#} an important healthcare practice to get control of their health, manage stress and slow down the process of gelling old. On Mar3, a new report from London showed that Tai Chi had helped hundreds of older people in Britain's capital to Slav{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fit) than ever.

    In traditional Chinese culture, often Tai Chi {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (link) to the Chinese idea of yin and yang, the idea that one can see two sides in everything. According to a legend, one day Taoist Zhang Sanfeng saw a hawk attacking a snake in the Wudang Mountains.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (inspire) by the snake's defense, he created a set of 72 movements{#blank#}6{#/blank#} used softness and power from inside to defeat brute (残暴的) force.

    Tai Chi can be practiced anytime and anywhere without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (equip) or gymnasium. Of course Tai Chi's benefits go beyond physical {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. For Marleni Calcina from Peru, who has practiced Tai Chi for more than 10 years, it's not only a sport, but also a way of life, It's Tai Chi{#blank#}9{#/blank#} has taught her how to “gain peace and inner harmony”. “For me now, practiced Tai Chi is like{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (speak) with my soul,” she says.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we know, there are three medalists in Olympic races: the gold, the silver, and the bronze (铜牌).

    Imagine what it's like to be the silver medalist. If you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full {#blank#}3{#/blank#} envy.

    Now imagine what it's like to be the bronze medalist. One second {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (slow), and you wouldn't have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner's podium at all.

    You can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} compare up or compare down and your{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (happy) depends on where you're focusing. This is easy to understand, but hard to remember in everyday life. If you catch yourself {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bum) with envy of anger, think like the bronze medalist, not the silver. Change your focus.

    For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best” {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (come) out next year, you'll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you're not comparing it to best, you'll feel no need {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (keep) up with the newest thing.

    Wang Peng felt very frustrated when he saw none of his patrons (常客) would eat in his restaurant as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( usually). In his opinion, nothing could be {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than his fried , mutton kebabs , fatty pork or his sugary cola . Who won his customers? He followed one of his best {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(friend) into Yong Hui's newly-opened slimming restaurant and was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(amaze) at the menu there :raw vegetables , fruit and water . {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was obvious that Yong Hui was telling lies when promising to make the customers thinner. In order to win his customers {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he went to the library to do some research, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}showed Yong Hui's menu didn't give the customers energy-giving food .Having found out the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(weak ) of Yong Hui's menu , Wang Peng wrote his own sign ,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(say) energy-giving food served. In fact, there was weakness in Wang Peng's menus, too .Food at his restaurant {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(contain) too much fat . So the only solution is to combine the two menus together to be a balanced menu.

    I agree with Mr. Zhang's idea {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sport can help improve health and mood {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people of all ages. I had a similar experience last year. I quit the basketball team {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I thought I didn't have enough time for it. After {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(quit) I felt sad and had no energy. I quickly lost my {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fit) too. I spoke to my parents who agreed I should rejoin the team. Now I play every week and I'm happy and healthy.
