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.

    Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. Kung fu,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (especial), has had a great effect {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about some other {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(aspect) of this culture. Other Asian nations have long known about the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(great) of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted Confucianism (孔子学说）, something that continues today even as it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(challenge) by pop culture . This strength comes from the ideas {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (give) in the Four Books of Confucianism, which built upon the ideas of an even {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(much) ancient period codified (编纂) in the Five Classics . From them, the West learns {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is uniquely Chinese, for example, feng shui. So far China has taken steps {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(further) this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.

    Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

    With less than ten {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (remain) seconds, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O' Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave {#blank#}3{#/blank#} everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O' Donnel had scored!

    Then there was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (silent). Mickey had scored all right, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome（综合症）and for him there is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

    The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tight) and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (react). I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (late) that night, when my daughter asked {#blank#}10{#/blank#} had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

    When I was a kid, Mom used to cook food for us. One night after {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (spend) a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (extreme) burnt toast（烤面包） in front of my dad, I was waiting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) if he noticed it. However, while eating his toast. Dad just asked me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for burning the toast. I'll never forget what Dad said, "Honey, I love burnt toast."

    Later that night, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to kiss Daddy good night and asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He gave me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} big hug and said, "Your mamma put in a long hard day at work today, really {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tire). Besides, a burnt toast never hurts but cold words do!"

    What I've learned over the years {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) that learning to accept each other's faults is one of the most important {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (key) to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.
