5 . “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practicing animals’ movements,” the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today.

Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer ( 鹿 ), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.

The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation (循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.

“ The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist (腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart.” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor (继承人) of Wuqinxi.

For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus. Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly... Little by little, you’ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.

These exercises need no tools. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it’s fun to practice and good for health, Five-Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

1. Why do people practice Five-Animal Exercises?

A．To fight against enemies	B．To protect wild animals
C．To improve the health	D．To make money

2. What may help a lot if your grandfather has a backache?

A．the bear movements	B．the tiger movements
C．the deer movements	D．the bird movements

3. What does the underlined word “harmonious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．和谐的

B．兴奋的

C．敬畏的

D．崇高的

4. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．It’s easy to learn Wuqinxi even for beginners.

B．People should practice Wuqinxi on weekends.

C．Wuqinxi is becoming worldwide famous.

D．It’s difficult to learn Wuqinxi even for beginners.
