第15题,Wang Jie is an excellent doctor in a big traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Hangzhou. Mike is his newly-made American friend who came to China to learn traditional Chinese acupuncture only two months ago. Last month, Wang Jie was promoted as deputy director of the hospital. Hearing the good news, Mike suggested going out for a drink. But to his great surprise, Wang Jie told him that he had declined the promotion. When asked why, Wang Jie took two Chinese sayings&quot;人怕出名， 猪怕壮&quot;and&quot;树大招风&quot; in broken English as the response, which made Mike even more puzzled.
正确资料:1)&quot;人怕出名,猪怕壮&quot;means that people are afraid of being popular or famed just as the pig is afraid of being fat.2)&quot;树大招风&quot;means that a big tree is easily destroyed by the wind. Just like the big tree, a famous person will be easily exposed to the public criticism. 3) Mike comes from America, which tends to be defined as individualist culture. In his culture, people value independence and try to be unique rather than similar to others.Since Wang Jie is a Chinese, whose culture is usually regarded as collectivist-oriented, he is afraid of being unique.;

正确资料:How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.


第17题,It is better to accept something small than to reject it and hope to get more later on.

A goose in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A frog in the hand is worth a swan in the sky.
A fish in the pot is worth two in the water.

And also because in Western culture saying that someone (even a family member) is old is inappropriate.
