If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostlymen wearing T?shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing agame with large round disks of wood. 1 Xiangqi dates back as early as the WarringStates Period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it islinked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty, Xiangqi was a populargame in China. 2 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat?sen and Zhou Enlai were big?fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actuallyquite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess,the object of the game is to capture the other player's“king”. Actually, in Xiangqi he isjust a general.
3 Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is alarge empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 4 Thisspace refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life?or?death war. Thewar was so influential that“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”has become a metaphor(隱喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese peopletoday see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they aresurrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. 5

Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especiallywhen you're 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, asmile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhatfoolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to followthe advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. Nomatter where you are, a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very?moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any13?year?old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Notto mention, how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heartbeatquickened, and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guarddown and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the“American girl”, 10 sets of handsimmediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their Englishwith me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other studentsthrough hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention,I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what tomake of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all, I wasthe first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.注意:續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

Then came the first class—Chinese painting._____________
Paragraph 2:
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile.___________
