C(2025·江苏南京鼓楼区期末)
If you walk around a park in the morning, you might see people doing these slow and graceful movements. T’ai chi, a kind of Chinese kung fu, is a special and valuable part of Chinese culture.
In 2020, UNESCO added t’ai chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产). Many t’ai chi fans were happy to hear about this.
“This will make t’ai chi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practising it,” said Chen Bin, a t’ai chi master from the village of Chenjiangou, Henan. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style t’ai chi.
It’s true that doing t’ai chi is good for our health. It can make our muscles(肌肉) stronger and help us walk and move more freely. Our hearts can also work better by doing t’ai chi.
But t’ai chi is more than just a sport. “It shows traditional Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as being in harmony(和谐) with nature and using softness to beat hardness,” Chen said.
Today, more than 100 million people in over 150 countries are taking part in t’ai chi. It becomes an icon of Chinese culture. People all over the world get together to learn and practise it, sharing their own cultural understandings. It is such a good way for people from different countries to understand and experience(体验) our Chinese culture.

Have you seen any advertisements like “zero calories and no weight gain?” It is an advertisement about diet soft drinks. Are diet soft drinks really a good choice? 11
Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier, because they don't have sugar or calories. 12
In fact, diet soft drinks have some sugar, although very little. If there is 0.5 grams of sugar or less in a 100-gram drink, it can be described as a diet soft drink. 13 That is because there are artificial sweeteners(人工甜味剂）in these drinks.
When you eat sweet tasting things like sugar, you seem to want more. Your brain tells your body to prepare itself for more sugar. 14 Then you may want to drink more.
Some people don't like to drink water. They like to drink diet soft drinks. 15 Diet soft drinks can damage your teeth. The artificial sweeteners inside are also bad for your health. If you want to stay healthy, you should drink water instead of diet soft drinks.
根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。（有一项多余）
