Question

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.”That's an old1       in English. It means other places often look better，more interesting than the place2       you live. Some people worry3       young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and. instead, 4       Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good 5       Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for hol?idays,Christmas is nice, but it can6       have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese cul?ture I like best： 7      friendliness. Not all countries are as 8      as China.

It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn9       them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but10       you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.

Answer 1

 【主旨大意】這是一篇議論文。當今，我們中國的年 輕人有一種很奇怪的傾向：喜歡看外國影片、讀外國漫畫書、慶祝外國節日。針對這種情況，作者闡述了自己的看法：外國的文化可以去欣賞、學習，但不能忽略中國本土的文化。正所謂"別處的東西不見得比你所在的地方的東西好"。
