Jonny：Hey! I'm just practicing Tai Chi(太极). Would you like to join me?

Jonny：It seems easy, but you need a lot of practice. You just follow me like this.
Peter：OK. Don't laugh __1__ me. I may look funny.
Jonny：Bend your knees slightly and reach out your arms like tree branches, naturally and __2__ (soft). Try to keep your body straight. Move slowly, then be sure to keep your balance and don't let your body shake.
Peter：I cannot control my body well. My legs become __3__ (pain)．
Jonny：Keep __4__ (hold) your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let __5__ stay in the air for seconds.
Peter：I feel my legs shaking. I cannot do this any longer.
Jonny：Be patient! Tai Chi __6__ (call) “shadow boxing” in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well __7__ strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The __8__ (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit.

Peter：Unbelievable! Oh... __9__ you don't mind, I'll stop and take a deep __10__.
答案与解析
本文是两人关于太极拳的对话。约翰尼在教彼得一些简单动作并向他介绍一些相关知识。
1．at 句意：不要嘲笑我，我看起来很可笑。laugh at 意为“嘲笑”。
2．softly 句意：膝盖微弯，自然地，缓缓伸出手臂，像树枝一样。所填词与naturally 是并列关系，
