5．Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course，a silly belief.But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S.jye.ai elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.
In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan - a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name - and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan - little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. "Be formless，shapeless，like water，" he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.
（1）What does "a silly belief" in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A．China is most famous for its kung fu.

28．Anna was the school's best dancer，and this was what she told her parents everyday. "Mrs.Kelly says I am very gifted，"she said，"She says maybe I will be the best dancer in our ballet（芭蕾）team . "
Mrs.Kelly had said these things，but she had said so to a number of dancers in order to encourage them because she believed it's important to get students inspired.Anna was also inspired by her words to be winner and beat everyone else.However，Mrs Kelly actually preferred that Anna just liked to dance on the stage.
"Students!Students!"Mr.Kelly called to the small group of girls around Anna."I'd like to introduce to you our new student，Sally.She loves dancing as you do.I hope you all take time to say hi to her nicely."
Anna looked at Sally with dancing shoes in her hands.Sally did not have a dancer's body：She was short，with legs that looked like they belonged to a frog instead of an eleven-year-old girl.Anna felt relaxed and was sure this girl would not dance well.
In the following weeks，however，it turned out that Anna made a wrong guess about Sally's dancing performance.In fact，Sally was not jut a good dancer，but an amazingly gifted dancer.She danced in beautiful ways that Anna thought was impossible for such a short girl.
What's more，Sally was a nice girl.She often helped girls with difficult dance moves.She was active，She was smart，and everyone liked her.It seemed that Sally was taking everything away from Anna.
Anna was sad and mad.The school ballet team would pick out the best dancer in only two weeks.She worried that Sally would win the contest and become the best dancer.注意 ：（1）所續(xù)寫短文詞數(shù)應為150左右；
