七、(2025·南京市秦淮区七校联考)阅读表达。
Many Westerners think 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. Some Chinese kung fu stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like *Rumble in the Bronx* and *Enter the Dragon* made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most famous hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念)that come from *wudang quan*—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. 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 practise 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 change your attitudes(态度)or beliefs(信念)when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.

七、（2025·南京市秦淮区七校联考）阅读表达。
很多西方人认为每个中国人都会功夫。当然，这是一种愚蠢的看法。但功夫确实是中国文化的重要组成部分。
和大多数西方人一样，我最初是通过香港动作片接触到功夫的。像李小龙和成龙这样的中国功夫明星让功夫在西方世界流行起来。他们在《红番区》和《龙争虎斗》等电影中的酷炫且令人印象深刻的表演让他们在美国和其他地方家喻户晓。
然而，我个人对功夫的兴趣实际上是受到一个嘻哈团体的激发。20世纪90年代初在纽约成立的武当派（Wu - Tang Clan）是历史上最著名的嘻哈团体之一。
在他们的歌曲中，他们有时会提到来自武当拳（他们的团名就来源于这种中国武术流派）和少林寺的哲学理念。我第一次开始听武当派的时候还只是个青少年——当时我根本没想到自己后来会在中国生活！
我自己并不练功夫。然而，功夫背后的理念对我来说很有意思。当我在生活中面临挑战时，我经常会想到李小龙的一句名言。“要像水一样，无形无状，”他曾经说过。他的意思是，当你面对困难时，你应该准备好改变你的态度或信念。我认为这是一种应对生活的好方法。
