Qigong,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) “Life Energy Cultivation” in China, is a practice of focusing on breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, and healing(愈合). If you have taken Chinese lessons, you must be familiar with Confucius, according to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}qigong provides a means to become a Junzi(gentleman) through awareness of morality. Taoism considers qigong to be able to provide a way to achieve spiritual improvement. Qigong is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(traditional) viewed as a practice to balance qi (inner life energy), which is now practiced throughout China and worldwide.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a form of gentle exercise, qigong is made up of movements that are typically repeated, strengthening the body. Qigong {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(believe) to help develop human potential, allow access to higher degrees of awareness, and awaken{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(one) “true nature”.

    What makes qigong special is that it can be done {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(lie), sitting , or standing; thus it is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(access) for disabled persons, seniors, and people recovering from injuries. As a healing art, qigong practitioners focus on prevention and self-healing, which has been widely used in China as part of traditional Chinese medicine, and is included in the curriculum of Chinese{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(university). Besides, qigong is practiced for self-cultivation as a means to get rid of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}complexity of the earth.

    China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again demonstrated its {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(share) bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related {#blank#}3{#/blank#} China's high-tech innovation(创新), which has improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat anything {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”

    The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and services {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) the customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    If you've ever heard of someone being in the right place at the right time, you've likely never heard it fit a story as well as this one. In 2014, a 17-year-old volunteer firefighter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Joseph Chambers heard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} loud crash outside of his sister's home. Joseph found two cars {#blank#}3{#/blank#}what appeared to be a fatal collision, one of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was a police patrol car. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(immediate) ran up to the car of Officer Mark Kimsey{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(see)if he was okay. Officer Kimsey {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trap), but Joseph sprung into {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(act), pulling Kimsey out through the window with another bystander as his patrol car burst into{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(flame). Maybe it was Joseph's firefighter training that allowed him to think, and act, so quickly, but it's certain that he saved a man's life that day without once{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(think)about his own well-being.
