(2021·北京高一开学考试)

Ray Tokuda,a 54-year-old Japanese American,is proud of the title his school has given him.He is a Shifu,a Chinese word literally meaning a master,mentor or senior practioner of martial arts.

Tokuda has reason to be proud.He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades.After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State,today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school.

Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda’s daily routine.He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life.“I’m still learning.It’s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts,”he said.“Once I started,I just couldn’t stop.I think it’s also the magic of Chinese culture.”

Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10.He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out.“My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance,so he put his kid in,”he said.“I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting.”

But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking.

“One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming adversity,”Tokuda said.“As a little kid,my first lesson was like,oh,look,this is a thing that I can get through by diligence,perseverance(毅力) and dedication,and that was priceless for my life.”

Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu-related stories.“It is like in America,where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done,”he said.“I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can’t be found in books.They are sort of an oral history.”

Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture,including the dragon dance and lion dance,which he also learnt at the martial arts school.Because of this,he is now considered a cultural envoy (使者) in the eyes of the public.

(2021·山东青岛高一期末)

Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.

A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street.Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture.Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular.Famous chefs,such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.

On Wednesday,the United Nations,cultural agency,UNESCO,added the city’s “hawker culture,”to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago.Now that it has been recognized,Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO.The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.

“These centers serve as ‘community dining rooms’,where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast,lunch and dinner,”UNESCO said.

In the 1970s,Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers.These areas were part of an effort to improve the island.Now,the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting.The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market.Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.

But,now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old.Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices.They are less interested in working in small restaurants.
