四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】
Martial art has always been one of the major attractions of Asian culture to Americans. The Chinese martial arts came to the U.S.
with Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. Thanks to Bruce Lee, one of the most famous martial artists/movie stars, Kung Fu films
gained popularity among movie goers in the 70s. Lee helped put Chinese Kung Fu in not only his movies, but also in America’s cultural
awareness. Since then, traditional fighting sports in Asia such as Kung Fu, karate, or judo have become familiar to people in the U.S.
Before Bruce Lee, traditional martial arts from Asia were considered nothing more than well-planned stunts. Americans used to
think that punching and kicking in the movies were moves that had been designed by martial art directors to make them seem convincing.
In other words, they thought martial arts were like a series of difficult actions and moves put together for a show.
Bruce Lee, together with his successful movies, totally changed the idea people in America had about martial arts. People at the time
described an electric feeling when seeing Lee’s movies in the theaters, where anyone was enthusiastic about being a Kung Fu master
themselves! Bruce Lee successfully aroused the Kong Fu Fever in the Americans. Even though Americans have always preferred
wrestling and boxing, they grew more and more interested in martial arts and started to realize martial arts were good fighting sports as
well. Bruce Lee may not be the first to introduce martial arts to the States, but he surely is one of the biggest reasons why there are still so
many people learning martial arts everywhere in the States today.
