by ourselves and some served by others. When brewing the tea by ourselves, we might inadvertently make the tea too strong because we are caught up in a business call. When served by others, we may regret that they have made black tea rather than our favorite green tea; or perhaps the tea leaves are not as good-quality as we thought. Real tea lovers will not be influenced by their personal

. Therefore, tea brewers are supposed to first pour tea liquor into a pitcher which is commonly known as the “Justice Cup” and then share it among different drinkers, rather than serving someone before others. If we have no justice cup at hand, we can find other

of water. When pouring the tea liquor, we should pour half a cup into the first cup, and a full cup into the second, and then fill the first cup. Steady hands and the

of movement will also help to ensure that the liquor in the two cups is of the same strength. If four drinkers are served, this rule also applies. This way of sharing crystallizes the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, and their insistence on treating everyone as equal.

Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

Chinese martial arts, often labeled under the umbrella terms Kung Fu and Wushu , are the several hundreds of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as “families" (jiā), "sects" (pài) or "schools" (mén) of martial arts. Examples of such traits include Shaolinquan, physical exercises involving Five Animals mimicry, or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal (nèijiāquán), while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called external (wàijiāquán). Geographical association, as in northern (běiquán) and southern (nánquán), is another popular classification method.

According to legend, Chinese martial arts originated during the semi-mythical Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago. It is said the Yellow Emperor introduced the earliest fighting systems to China. The Yellow Emperor is described as a famous general who, before becoming China’s leader, wrote lengthy treatises on medicine, astrology and the martial arts.

The ideas associated with Chinese martial arts changed with the evolution of Chinese society and over time acquired some philosophical bases: Passages in the Zhuangzi , a Taoist text, pertain to the psychology and practice of martial arts. Zhuangzi, its eponymous author, is believed to have lived in the 4th century BC. The Dao De Jing, often credited to Lao Zi, is another Taoist text that contains principles applicable to martial arts. The Art of War, written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu, deals directly with military warfare but contains ideas that are used in the Chinese martial arts.

Taoist practitioners have been practicing Tao Yin (physical exercises similar to Qigong that was one of the progenitors to T'ai chi ch'uan) from as early as 500 BC. In 39–92 CE, "Six Chapters of Hand Fighting", was included in the Han Shu (history of the Former Han Dynasty) written by Pan Ku. Also, the noted physician, Hua Tuo, composed the "Five Animals Play" — tiger, deer, monkey, bear, and bird, around 220 CE. Taoist philosophy and their approach to health and exercise have influenced the Chinese martial arts to a certain extent.

Chinese martial arts are classified according to common traits, which don’t include ______.

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

It’s 80 years since the Loch Ness monster was spotted for the first time. Mrs. Aldie Mackay, a local hotel manageress, might have thought that her eyes had deceived her when she reported seeing a “whale-like fish” in the waters of the Scottish lake. Or was it a fabrication? Dr. Charles Paxton, a researcher from St Andrew's University, noted that many of the 1,000 eye-witness accounts of the elusive ''monster'' he's been analyzing come from hotel proprietors. This raises suspicion of a conspiracy to boost tourism. Mrs. Mackay's is widely regarded as the first “modern sighting” of the monster in the lake. And it’s opened the floodgates. Police inspectors, lorry drivers, clergymen and fishermen were among the people who claimed to have seen the monster. It became so famous that it got a nickname: Nessie. Tourists and “Nessie hunters” flocked to the area. There were traffic jams around the lake. Certainly, there was much to be gained from the legend. According to Visit Scotland, Nessie tourism brings in more than £1 million to the area per year.

Marine biologist Adrian Shine, who interviewed Mrs. Mackay years later, believes she was sincere. But there are plenty of people who have made a living from Nessie, including Mr. Shine himself. He now runs the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition out of Mrs. Mackay's old hotel.

Dr. Paxton says, analyzing the eye-witness accounts may tell us more about ourselves than whether or not the monster exists. He is due to publish the results of his study later this year. As a scientist, he casts a skeptical eye on all the evidence linked to Nessie. Highly respected British surgeon, Colonel Robert Wilson, claimed he photographed the beast in 1934. It was later revealed to be a toy submarine with a sea-serpent head. Dr. Paxton says: “I suppose it is possible that people have an agenda. But I believe the vast majority of people are reporting the truth. They believe they have seen something strange.”

Some say you see what you expect. If this is true, in the land famous for whisky and Nessie, the beast will live long and prosper.

What does Dr. Charles Paxton mean by saying “I suppose it is possible that people have an agenda.”?
