At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, people cheered when China's Tong Xin finished her taijijian moves. On Sept 24, she won the women's raijiquan and taijijian all-round gold. The Asian Games have more events than the Olympic Games. These events, like raijijian, are from different countries and cultures across Asia. This makes the Asian Games interesting. Here are some of the special sports.
Special Asian Sports |
Wushu Chinese wushu first came about in the Shang and Zhou dynasties (16th century-256 BC). It is an important part of Chinese culture. Modern wushu has two parts: taolu and sanda. Tong's slow but strong actions with her sword(剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu's beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. Wushu was first included in the Asian Games in 1990. |

Juice tastes good. But is it wise and healthy to drink juice? We asked three experts for their ideas.
Bec Reynolds, a nutritionist（营养学家） Drinking water is the best choice. However, if you don't like it and cannot drink milk, then it's better to drink juice than to have drinks that are "worse," like soft drinks. Both juice and soft drinks are sugary, but juice often have some vitamins, so you'd better not drink them. It would be better to drink juice that is made from many different vegetables. Few children eat enough vegetables. But vegetables are very important for the growth of your body. |
David Manton, a ____ There are two main reasons for not drinking juice. First, the sugar in it feeds the bacteria（细菌）on your teeth. In Australia, nearly half of all six-year-olds have at least one hole in their teeth. Drinks like fruit juice are part of the reason for this. Second, the acid（酸） in many different fruit juices can destroy the hard outer coating of your teeth. Once it's gone, it can't grow back. |
Sandro Demaio, a doctor Fruits like oranges and apples have fiber（纤维素）. Fiber is very important. First, it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it helps prevent the sugars going into our blood. Then we have fewer chances of getting weight, which can lead to many health problems. When we tum apples into apple juice, we remove most of the fiber. Sometimes, even the vitamins are lost. What we don't lose, though, is the sugar. So try not to drink juice. |
