1、 What does it mean to be a Chinese? According to a survey, more than 40% of Chinese people believe the Chinese love the country and their families. 1. About one-third of foreign people describe the Chinese as hard-working and creative people. From 1931 to 1945, millions of soldiers lost their lives in the war against Japanese aggression. 2. After 1949, plenty of people worked day and night for the development of China.
While the love of the country joins the people together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in Beijing, said, “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age. 3. 他们选择或者放弃一份工作时,首先考虑的是家人。”
Besides, the characters of being hard-working and creative also come to light. Sheryl, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, said Chinese people were hard-working when she saw some men send the package. She said, “4. 似乎那些人从不需要休息。” A foreign university professor has found Chinese students in the lab could always come up with new ideas. “I’m really surprised,” he said. 5. The past 70 years saw China’s rapid rise to become an important country in the world. During the process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, has got a clearer understanding of Chinese traits(品质).

24、 “Your hair looks nice today.”
This is an example of a compliment. It feels nice when someone notices and praises you for something. But are there cultural differences in making compliments?
Sometimes I receive compliments for things that I don’t think it is worth. For example, when a taxi driver says “Wow, your Chinese is so good!” even though the only thing I said to him was “Hello, please take me to the airport.” It feels insincere to receive a compliment like this for saying just one simple sentence. However, I know he’s just trying to be polite.
It also seems like Chinese people are a bit more humble(谦虚的) than others when they receive a compliment. They often think little of the compliments they receive. I enjoy this quality, as people like this are more honest. I’ve noticed that older people are quite humble.
When and where should you give compliments? I try my best to compliment people in the service industry. People sometimes complain about the bad service in restaurants, stores and other places. But if I get good service, I’d love to compliment whoever served me, such as by saying “the food was delicious” or something like that. This will encourage them to continue to provide good service to others.
【1】What does the underlined word “compliment” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.问候 B.恭维 C.抱怨 D.关注
【2】What does the writer think of a compliment after saying one simple sentence?
A.Pleasant. B.Dishonest. C.Impolite. D.Humble.
【3】What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A.The writer often praises taxi drivers.
B.The writer speaks Chinese very well.
C.Praising others can be a way of being polite.
D.Most of the compliments we receive are not true.
【4】Chinese people think little of a compliment because they are ________.
A.humble B.uncomfortable C.relaxed D.upset
【5】Which statement is TRUE?
A.The writer only compliments people in the service industry.
B.It is not proper to complain about bad service very often.
C.Everyone who served the writer got a compliment from him.
D.The writer believes that compliments can be very encouraging.

Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museums and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!
Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as:
