Just Focus on Your Own Way

Head held high as she took the court moments after her Chinese team entered the arena, she waved and smiled in several directions. She then paced around the floor observing China’s championship opponents from Serbia (塞尔维亚). She     1     sang through the national anthem, guided her team to defend the title and made her own history, too. Lang Ping became the first person to win back-to-back World Cup championships both as a player (1981,1985) and as a coach (2015, 2019).

Lang, a significant cultural icon in China, rose to    2     as a volleyball player in the early 1980s. She, along with her teammates, was     3     four-time world champions in international competitions between 1981 and 1985. This    4     of victories pushed women’s volleyball to the forefront of Chinese sports discussions. Before this time, only table tennis had taken on a characterization as the sport in which the Chinese boasted about an outright     5    . As the leading outside hitter (主攻手), Lang herself was honored as the MVP of women’s volleyball at the 1984 Olympics.

After she retired from playing, Lang moved to the United States to experience what she called a “normal life”,     6     herself from her national fame. In 1987, she started coaching the women’s volleyball team at the University of New Mexico. Having honed her coaching skills with these young athletes over a five-year period, Lang became the head coach of China women’s national team in 1995.   She     7     led the team to a silver medal at the 1996 Olympics and a second place at the World Championship two years later. In 2005, Lang set her sights on a new challenge: coaching the U.S. women’s national volleyball team. The first foreign female to coach a major sport for the United States, she devoted herself to the job, despite     8     criticism back home. Lang returned to coach the Chinese national team for the second time in 2013. After guiding the team to the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, she became the first person in volleyball history to     9     Olympic titles both as a player and as a coach. However, when asked about her success, Lang just said, “It’s not important for me to make history. But I’m so happy for the girls. They trained very hard.”

Lang’s     10     life is displayed in a recently announced documentary entitled The Iron Hammer, named after her nickname. The film not only tells her story but showcases her internal strength and commitment to greatness in the sport. Furthermore, her ability to break down gender barriers has inspired women to achieve new heights in the sport, a legacy that still inspires hope in the youth of today.

Exercise Around the World

Not many people outside Japan have come across Radio Taiso. Each morning at 6:30 you hear this piano sound coming out of the radio and everywhere people start doing calisthenics (gentle warm-up exercises) to get ready for the day ahead. They’re group exercises that everyone can join in with, at home or in the park. People say the idea was     1     from US factories in the 1920s. It’s fun and they’re simple movements that anyone can do, old or young. They get the brain working, too.

I do something called “swogging”, a(n)     2     of jogging and swimming. The     3     came from a book about people in the Caucasus mountains who can live to well over a hundred and remain mentally and physically fit. For generations they’ve been walking down     4     slopes each day to swim in cold mountain streams. The idea of freezing cold water might put a lot of people off, but it’s     5     proven to help your circulation and boost your immune system (免疫系统), because it gets your body’s self-defense mechanisms working. Then they dry off and climb back up the mountain. I do the same thing in North Wales where I live, but I jog two miles to a lake. It’s interesting, but I’ve got a little way to go before I reach a hundred!

To an outside     6    , yoga doesn’t look hard; it’s just slow stretching and holding certain positions. Yoga practitioners came up with their own     7     of the saying “Don’t just sit there, do something,” which is “Don’t just do something, sit there.” But     8    , it’s a very good workout. Like a lot of Eastern exercise regimes, it offers a more holistic (整体的) approach to health by combining physical fitness with mental well-being. The idea is to concentrate on your breathing to make movement easier and reduce tension. Although it     9     out in India, only a small proportion of the population there practice yoga seriously. Recently more Indians have taken it up partly because they’ve seen it become     10     in the West.
