  There were many talented young students at the World Inter School Rope Skipping Championships held in Dubai in November 2015. However, none was as surprising as 11-year-old Cen Xiaolin, who skipped 108 times in 30 seconds. And that is just the count of his right leg jumping over the rope because that is what the judges use for the score. All in all, the young boy managed to skip 216 times during the short period.
  Xiaolin was so fast that to get the right number, the judges had to replay the video of his record-breaking performance several times in slow motion. If that is not surprising enough, a short time later, he broke a second world record by skipping 548 times in three minutes!
  The fifth-grader attends Seven Star Primary School in a countryside village in Guandong in South China. The school considers skipping a serious sport and asks all students to practice it for 1.5 hours daily. It is therefore not surprising to hear that of the 28 medals for grabs, 27 were won by students from this unbelievable primary school. The team also won the overall group championship.
  Vocabulary
  skipping n. 跳绳
  championship n. 锦标赛
  grab n. 抓具
  (What in the passage tells you that the rest of his team did a great job in the competition as well?)

随着社会经济的飞速发展,人们对住宅装潢的要求越来越高。装修房子时,在进行墙面喷漆前有一道打磨工序。和刨墙一样,传统的磨墙是一件很耗费人工的事情,需要工人拿着砂纸或者磨墙机不停打磨,既耗时费力,又会产生大量粉尘影响工人健康。  墙面打磨是室内装修必不可少的工序,可由于粉尘多、噪声大,使得从事这个行业的人越来越少,导致供需不平衡。因此,从根本上解决墙面打磨问题,已是建筑装饰行业的一个必然需求。我们研发
刘秀是汉室宗亲,不过到他这一辈,身上流淌着皇家血脉的人已如过江之鲫,多得数不清了。像他这种身份的人,《汉书》里记载:“汉元至今,十有余万人。”所以他年轻时,就是乡里一个普通的老实孩子,爱看书,还喜欢种地,谁也看不出他有什么大出息。  刘秀的奋发,得益于一次经历。那一年,他到京城求学,正好碰见执金吾出行,执金吾大概相当于现在的京城卫戍区司令,“车骑甚盛”,那场面是相当的大。据《后汉书·百官志四·执金

最难的考试    期末考试成绩出来后,我大吃一惊,我的选修课《中国佛教与传统文化》竟然考了0分。我很不服气,于是去找教这门课的刘老师。  来到教师办公区,经过多方打听,我终于找到了刘老师的办公室。   我问:“刘老师在吗?”   一个身材魁梧、脑门发亮的中年男子回答道:“在啊,我就是。”   我迷糊了:这个刘老师和我印象中的刘老师不是同一个人。   我笑笑说:“不好意思,您是教《中国佛教与传统文化
