A modern Chinese literary author left us on October 30th, 2018. Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, was one of the greatest modern authors of Chinese fiction and respected by fans around the world as the father of the many of the Kung Fu heroes.

Through his descriptions of various heroes in dynastic China's wuxia ,or martial arts, world — and their descriptions in many popular movies, TV and radio series, video games and comic books — he became a famous name among Chinese. It has been said he is the world's most read Chinese author, and certainly his books have taught generations of readers about the importance of values, such as compassion, honesty, and perseverance.

Some people say his passing marks the end of an age in Chinese wuxia fiction, but others believe the heroes he created will live forever.

He was a journalist in the early years of his literary career, Cha became deputy editor of New Evening Post in Hong Kong, where he met Chen Wentong, who wrote wuxia novels using the pen name Liang Yusheng. With Chen's encouragement, Cha began work on his first martial arts novel The Book and the Sword in 1955. It was an instant hit.

Cha went on to write 14 more wuxia novels. His style of storytelling contained fictional characters and plots with historical figures and events, which makes the stories different from other works .

All the memorable characters in his martial arts hero novels, from great kung fu masters to a person who has no importance , no matter how intelligent and strong they appear, are flawed in some way and make mistakes every now and then, just like all of us in real life.

Finally what makes someone a hero in his works is that they have the will and ability to make decisions and do things that serve the best interest of their communities when it matters.

24. Cha is famous for his _______ .

Do you want to live stress-free ? To be realistic, you aren’t able to live your life with absolutely no stress at all, but you can be free from stress. Even though some stress is unavoidable in life, you can manage your life so that your experience with stress is limited.

Change can be really stressful. Reactions to good or bad changes vary greatly from person to person. Typically, the more significant the change is , the more stress it can bring a person. Heavy work loads or increased demands on your time and energy can be enough for someone to feel stressed.

When you begin to feel worried, anxious, or afraid about something, your body tenses up and stress hormones(荷尔蒙) are released throughout your body. These hormones are helpful in emergencies, but since your body is not meant to keep that level of high-energy, stress over a long period of time can be harmful to our health, Often stress enters our lives when we feel we are losing control. There are two ways that we can fight this type of stress. First, don’t worry about things that you have no control over, like the weather and the choices other people make. The second thing that you can do is to take control over what you do have power over: yourself. When things take you by surprise, it is up to you to stay cool.

Another tress-relieving tip is to say “no”once in a while. Be realistic about the number of tasks you take on, and don’t try to be a superhuman.

28. The passage mainly talks about___________.

A. what causes stress

B. what stress is

C. how to be free from stress

D. how to avoid stress

29. When you face stress, you should________.

A. think about what choices others make

B. try to take control over yourself

C. let yourself be subject to weather

D. know first what surprises you

5

30. Which of the following can NOT make you stressed ?

A. Stress hormones.

B. Increased demands on your time and energy.

C. Bad changes in your life.

D. Heavy work loads.

31. The author suggests that we______.

A. should take on as many tasks as possible.

B. should say no to any difficult task.

C. should work as a superman sometimes.

D. should not try to finish too many tasks at the same time.

Dear Tom,

How are you ? In your last letter, you asked me about online shopping. Now I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.

With the Internet entering our daily life, online shopping is commonly used throughout the world nowadays. On the one hand, you can shop when you like conveniently as the online shops are open 24 hours a day and do not have to queue with other shoppers. However, every coin has two sides, so dose Internet shopping. The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.

As far as I am concerned, online shopping has advantages over disadvantages.

13

It is very convenient, time-saving and user-friendly and online shopping is much cheaper and more secure than before.

Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you.

Best wishes !

Yours,
