【正文】 newed interests lead to its rediscovery. Qiu Feng, a local official in charge of tourism thought about utilizing Shi Cheng for entertainment on the lake and as a destination for diving clubs. On September 18, 2001, scuba divers made their first attempt underwater. We were lucky. As soon as we dived into the lake, we found the outside wall of the town and even picked up a brick, Qiu told Guangzhou Daily in an interview. More research was conducted, and it was discovered that the entire town was intact (1881), including wooden beams and stairs. After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded the preservation of the lost ruins. Looking at surface of the lake, dotted with over 1,000 islands, you39。d never know that an entire city was below. It39。s incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it. Until then, Shi Cheng will continue to remain inconspicuously submerged.（1）Why was Shi Cheng covered by water according to the passage? A.Because the city has a long history.B.Because the government could attract more tourists by doing so.C.Because the government needed to build a power station where it was.D.The mountains surrounding the city led to the consequence.（2）What does the underlined word initial mean in paragraph 2?

He is a Shifu, a Chinese word literally meaning a master, mentor or senior practioner of martial arts. Tokuda has reason to be proud. He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades. After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State, today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school. Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have bee Tokuda39。s daily routine. He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life. I39。m still learning. It39。s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts, he said. Once I started, I just couldn39。t stop. I think it39。s also the magic of Chinese culture. Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10. He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out. My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance, so he put his kid in, he said. I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting. But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking. One of the things martial arts teach me is overing adversity, Tokuda said. As a little kid, my first lesson was like, oh, look, this is a thing that I can get through by diligence, perseverance（毅力）and dedication, and that was priceless for my life. Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung furelated stories. It is like in America, where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done, he said. I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can39。t be found in books. They are sort of an oral history. Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture, including the dragon dance and lion dance, which he also learnt at the martial arts school. Because of this, he is now considered a cultural envoy (使者) in the eyes of the public.（1）Tokuda didn39。t want to learn kung fu because he had thought it was __________.
