Question

The Maum Sin Yong School says that they are the first in Colorado and the one of only two schools in the US to teach martial arts (武術(shù)) to students with mental diseases.
“They do everything that our regular classes do,” says Rob Hansen, Tae Kwon Do instructor. Hansen teaches the kids how to punch (拳打), kick, and block along with the values of the Korean martial arts. He says that they also learn confidence and how to improve their motor skills. “They’ve learned focus, just to be able to pick one item and pay attention to it.”
“Tae Kwon Do is pretty fun,” says Christina Hinkle. She was born with Down syndrome (唐氏綜合癥) and says she never wants to miss class. “Well, how come? It’s pretty fun.”
“Ever since she saw Karate Kid, she’s been running around the house, doing kicks and punches,” says Peggy Hinkle, Christina’s mother. Peggy says that her daughter processes information slowly and taking Tae Kwon Do lessons has helped her in all parts of her life. “It gives her a chance to be a regular kid.”
Wednesday’s class is not a normal class. Instead, it’s a day that all the students have been waiting for. “Today is actually the first day, and I’m actually going to be able to test these guys,” says Hansen. The students would receive their White Belts. However, in order to receive their belts, the students must show off their skills in front of a group of Black Belts.
“Nervous? No way. I’m so excited,” says Christina just before she displayed what she has learned over the past few months. She and the other students also answered questions about the history of Tae Kwon Do, as well as its philosophy (哲學(xué)).
“To me, it’s just really important for them to actively see that they are learning something,” says Hansen. “That they actually are able to be rewarded for everything that they’ve done in this class.” All the students passed. They received their White Belts.
“To see the joy in her face was very rewarding,” says Peggy. She videotaped the whole test and hugged her daughter telling her that she’s proud. “Christina feels like she could do anything,” she says.
Christina says that her next goal is to keep working on her skills so she can move up to a Gold Belt. She says, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I got the first rank.”

Answer 1

ABCA
1.第二段說(shuō)這些學(xué)員進(jìn)行常規(guī)的學(xué)習(xí)，同時(shí)學(xué)會(huì)自信，改善運(yùn)動(dòng)神經(jīng)，學(xué)會(huì)集中注意力，由此可知這個(gè)學(xué)校的宗旨是A。
2.第五段說(shuō)星期三的課不是常規(guī)課，學(xué)生將在一群黑腰帶級(jí)別的武術(shù)高手前接受檢驗(yàn)，以獲得白腰帶。由此可知這一天學(xué)生將被檢驗(yàn)其學(xué)習(xí)情況并授予武術(shù)級(jí)別。
3.第八段開(kāi)頭說(shuō)“看見(jiàn)她臉上的笑容就讓人覺(jué)得滿足了”，可見(jiàn)孩子們對(duì)學(xué)Tae Kwon Do很感興趣。文中沒(méi)有提到教練是否嚴(yán)格，家長(zhǎng)并沒(méi)有陪同學(xué)習(xí)，Tae Kwon Do可以提高孩子的某些能力，但不可能治愈精神方面的疾病。
4.通讀全文可知學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)Tae Kwon Do得到能力和快樂(lè)，同時(shí)家長(zhǎng)為孩子取得的成績(jī)感到欣慰。文章客觀地介紹了The Maum Sin Yong School的情況，沒(méi)有語(yǔ)句號(hào)召更多的孩子來(lái)上學(xué)；家長(zhǎng)送孩子進(jìn)學(xué)校之前就應(yīng)該知道目的；文章沒(méi)有提到要再辦類似學(xué)校，所以排除D項(xiàng)。
