【题目】语法填空（每小题1分，共10分）

Do you like trying different things? Are you afraid 1 things that you think you’re bad at?

Last year I started to learn t’ at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress. It was something new for me, and I found it to be quite difficult, very 2 (difference) form anything I’d ever learned before. Small 3 (move) are important in t’ ai chi. I was used to being fast and active , 4 to learn t’ ai chi I had to learn patience. Now I’ve found that I’m a much more patient person than before, and t’ ai chi isn’t nearly as difficult as it 5 (be ) before.

We tend 6 (like) things we are good at — that’s normal. For example, I’m naturally very good at badminton and tennis, but I’m very had at anything 7 involves keeping balance, such as skating, skiing and gymnastics. T’ ai chi has 8 (great) improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me.

My point is that you can keep 9 (do) the things you know you’re good at and live in your comfort zone, or you can try something new. If you don’t try new things, you’ll never know what it would be like to try something new. Challenge 10 (you). It will definitely pay off in the end.

【语篇解读】本文为夹叙夹议文。讲述的是作者通过自己学习太极的经历体会到：要挑战自己，尝试新的东西。

【1】 考查介词搭配。句意：你害怕你不擅长的事情吗？根据句意可知应用介词of。be afraid of害怕。
