I was a student in the eighth grade and about to take a science test. From the first grade I always did well in tests. When it came to the eighth-grade science, however, I couldn’t understand it even if I tried my best. I was sad and didn’t want to talk to anyone.
Before the eighth grade, my parents were so happy with my grades, and I didn’t want to let them down. So just before the test, I wrote some notes from the textbook on my desk with a pencil. The writing was so light that others couldn’t see it easily. I was worried as the teacher started to hand out the test paper. I didn’t want to get caught, and I didn’t want to lose it either.
Suddenly we heard a big noise. We all ran outside because we thought it was something dangerous. As I stood outside in the warm sunshine, I thought how silly I was. I knew my parents would still love me even if my grades were bad. As soon as we came into the classroom, I walked to my desk and cleaned the notes. I had a new self and I wasn’t going to let it go. I took the test and felt nice. I didn’t remember what my grade was, but what happened that day stayed with me for a long time.

C 简答和翻译
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. Some people like running or climbing mountains, but if you care for your body with less injury, tai chi is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of tai chi, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.
It can take a few months for people to feel the effects of tai chi, but when they do, tai chi can act as a way to a new lifestyle. Once people start feeling better, they usually become more active in their daily life.
Any form of exercise, of course, can be good for us. But a good way is to practise tai chi plus walking. Younger people probably need more challenges, but they can benefit from tai chi to reduce stress.
The best thing about tai chi is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with(坚持) it long enough to get some benefits.
