9 . The popularity of niche（小众的）sports has increased, thanks in large part to pop culture interest. From the traditional Japanese martial arts to ancient Greek combat sports. Here are some trendy options you won't want to miss.

Kendo

This Japanese martial art is gaining popularity in China, partly because of Japanese sports manga（日本漫画）series such as One Piece（海贼王）. In many major cities, it's not uncommon to see young athletes carrying the bamboo swords used for Kendo.

Kendo is a form of swordsmanship（剑术）that requires concentration, discipline and constant repetition, but the benefit goes beyond physical fitness. According to the South China Morning Post, practicing kendo can effectively relieve stress and relax one's mind.

Boxing

Some of the greatest English-language writers, like Ernest Hemingway, Jack London and TS Eliot, were hardcore boxers. After reading their portrayals of tough boxers, some readers have been inspired to pick up their own pair of boxing gloves and enter the ring.

Boxing is more than just a workout. Sure, it can give you a lean and strong body. But according to boxing expert Hollywood Hino, it's a kind of addiction as well. Boxing gives you "the challenge of learning technique, as well as the general empowering feeling of hitting something", he told Yahoo Sports.

Parkour

The James Bond blockbuster Casino Royale (2006) introduced parkour to the mainstream, with an intense action scene that shows Bond using skills to go through an urban landscape. That's parkour in a nutshell: the art of moving quickly and creatively through unconventional obstacle courses. Parkour gives young people a way to improve themselves, both physically and psychologically.

1. Which of the following is the benefit of practicing kendo?

A．Popularity.	B．Concentration
C．Easiness.	D．Constant repetition.

2. Some readers would pick up their boxing gloves after reading Hemingway's works because__________.

A．Hemingway was a hardcore boxer.

B．boxing could give them a lean and strong body.

C．boxing gave them the challenge of learning technique.

D．they were encouraged by the spirits of tough boxers created by Hemingway

3. If you want to move quickly and go through obstacle courses in a city, you may choose__________.

A．ancient Greek combat sports	B．parkour

10 . Sometimes it’s hard to find time to exercise. But in fact, whether you’re on the road, at work, or at home, you can always find a few more ways to work out.     1     Just train yourself to find ways to fit in a little fitness, and you’ll soon gain the rewards.

    2     When you go to the store, park far away from the door so you can enjoy a nice walk on your way to the shop. While you’re shopping, look for ways to turn it into a quick workout. If you’re shopping on your own, avoid depending on your cart, and try to keep your pace up.

Any time you find yourself with something heavy in your hands, lift it. This works with canned food, grocery bags, backpacks, and anything the least bit heavy.     3     If you prefer, raise your arm over your head and lower your hand behind your head repeatedly. Playing with kids and pets is also a great way to get a workout. The same goes for dancing, skating, and games like tennis, ping pong, basketball, and softball.     4     Join them! You’ll get a surprising workout and have a lot of fun at the same time.

    5     You can do such moving across the room. If you’re near a wall, try a wall sit with your back pressed against the wall and your legs bent. Stay in that position as long as you can. Do this every day and you’ll develop real strength.

A．When you’re seated during long journey, why not stand up?

B．The biggest change you have to make is in your attitude．

C．If your kids like to play games, don’t just sit and watch．

D．When you have a spare moment, why not do leg lifts?

E．As you go about your day, look for chances to walk.

F．The main problem is that you have no free time．

G．If it is easy, then do some more．
