yoga

 
Yoga is a kind of sport. It is very popular around the world now. Everyone, young and old can do yoga. It’s good for both men and women.

    Why do people like yoga? There’s a short answer and a long answer to that question. The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practising, breathing exercises and thinking make you healthier in body, mind and spirit.

    For many people, that's enough of an answer, but there's more if you are interested.

    Yoga began in India about 5,000 years ago. At that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life, so this kind of exercise was born. The early yoga was part of a religion (宗教). It was usually taught one to one—one teacher with one student. Yoga is an Indian word that means “to join together”. There are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (沉思). In the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. The idea be­hind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one. Yoga can give you peace, help you feel relaxed, and have fewer worries and illnesses.   204

Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

1. Take pictures

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or a party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections.

2. Eat alone in public

You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach(接近) when you are alone. People may be afraid of disturbing you or being rude if you talk with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read. Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse tostart a conversation if they’ve read it.

3. Join a class, sports team, or club

Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Choose a new hobby or continue an old one!

These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be made to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are made to see each other again.

1.How many tricks are mentioned in the passage?

A.Three.            B.Four.             C.Five.             D.Six.

2.________ will give you an excuse to make friends with the person.

A.Taking photos                          B.Eating alone in public

C.Joining a class                          D.Reading an interesting book

3.The writer wants to tell you ______________.

A.how to make as many friends as you can

B.how to make friends in a new city quickly

C.how to build a social circle

D.how to start a conversation with others

True or false? Only old women knit.

Not anymore!Knitting has now become a fashionable hobby with women in their 20s and 30s. Young women can be seen knitting in coffee shops, hairdressers, bookstores, and bus stops, and Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow all knit. They are knitting scarves, hats, socks, and sweaters—even bikinis and wedding dresses!

Knitting is being called the "new yoga". It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for our busy, stressful, 21st-century lives. It slows down your heart and lowers your blood pressure. Lissy Blomster, a 25-year-old buyer from New York, says "I come home from work mad and stressed almost every day. But after 30 to 45 minutes of knitting, I'm totally relaxed. " Jenny Carter, a 32-year-old advertising executive from Seattle, always knits through her lunch break. "It helps me clear my head and start fresh," she says.

Even some men are taking up knitting. Dave White, a 33-year-old IT manager from San Francisco, started knitting six months ago, after a woman friend introduced him to it. " I like knitting because I can go into my own little world and forget about my problems," he says. But he has not told any of his men friends that he knits, and he never knits in public. Brian Duffey, however, a 26-year-old student from Chicago, said, "I knit anywhere, everywhere. I have never had a negative comment… in fact, I find it attracts women. "
