49、ies.D.Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內容可知,作者對于中國功夫背后的一些觀念有很大的興趣,并從中悟出了一些道理。李小龍的一句名言告訴作者,在面對困難的時候,要通過改變自身的態(tài)度和信念去不斷適應從而戰(zhàn)勝困難。DWhile visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list,the ever-changing ICEHOTEL,which opened its doors to visit
