Is getting a black belt(腰带) on your life’s to-do list? Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your hero.
Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in Judo (柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who have earned the tenth-degree black belt. Throughout history, only 16 people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro.
At her teacher’s requirement, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.
During a time when getting married, building a family and becoming a housewife were the norms(行为标准)，Fukuda broke from tradition, continuing Judo instead of getting married.
“All I did was Judo ... This was my marriage,” Fukuda replied tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my destiny (命运) was set. I just imagined how long the road would be.”
She described the Jiguro’s school as “old-fashioned and sexist(性别歧视的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an edict(法令) that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for 30 years. She finally got the sixth degree in 1972 when a women’s division（分部）was created.
Fukuda thinks Judo and her life to be “gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not external(外在的). She explained. “I believe this inner beauty is true beauty… All my life this has been my dream.”
Her dream was turned into reality, and the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a week at a women’s Judo training center.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?
| A．She is the first woman to achieve the highest rank in Judo. |
| B．It took her 30 years to get a tenth-degree black belt. |
| C．Her teacher wanted her to help spread Judo to other parts of the world. |
| D．Only one woman and fifteen men have ever earned the tenth-degree black belt in the history. |
Why did Fukuda pursue(追求) Judo all her life?
| A．To look for inner beauty. |
| B．To help Japan become stronger. |
| C．To spread Judo around the world. |
| D．To fight against tradition. |
Which of the following best describes Fukuda according to the article?
| A．Traditional | B．Popular |
| C．Determined (坚定的) | D．Curious |
Dogs are considered as man’s best friend. But what about cats? Sometimes cats can make equally wonderful friends. The following is a comparison of the two animals.
A Friend Helps You When You’re Sick
| Dogs |
When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. That’s when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread. |
| Cats |
When Tee sits and stares directly into her face, Alana immediately finds a chair. That’s because Tee is warning her that she is about to faint(昏倒), which can happen as often as three times a day. But Alana won’t get hurt if she sits down. Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers. |

Everyone has got two personalities（个性）—the one that is shown to the world and the other is hidden and real. You don’t show your hidden personality when you are awake because you are clear what to do and what not to do, but when you are asleep, your sleep position shows the real you. On a usual night, of course, people change their positions from time to time. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very open person. You usually believe people and you are easy to accept new lifestyle or new ideas. You don’t like to ask for help from others. You don’t like to trouble people, either. So you never express your real feeling. You are quite a shy person and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are rather a person who is not known well to others. You worry a lot and always easily get upset. You don’t pay attention to your job. You are always stubborn（倔强的）. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curling up（蜷缩） your body, you are probably a very nervous person, but you are very kind and patient. You are shy and don’t usually like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You are easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You are usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often feel sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people upset.

A smart diet, a healthy life
No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.
Tip One: Family Meals
Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
