24、 A young man entered the last interview of a company. The director found the young man’s academic grades（学习成绩）were very good.

       “Did you get any scholarships in school?” The director asked. “None.” The young man answered.

       “Was it your father who paid for your school fees（学费 ）?” the director asked. “My father passed away when I was one year old,so it was my mother who paid for my school fees.” the young man answered.

       “Where did your mother work?” the director asked. “My mother cleaned clothes.” the young man said.The director looked the young man’s hands. He had a pair of smooth and perfect hands. “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” the director asked. “Never,” the young man answered. “I have a request,” the director said,“When you go back home today,go and clean your mother’s hands,and then see me tomorrow morning.”

       The young man felt that his chance of getting the job was high. When he went back,he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange,happy but with mixed feelings. She showed her hands to the kid. The young man cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tears fell as he did that. It was the first time he had noticed his mother’s hands were so wrinkled. He realized it was this pair of hands that helped him pay the fees.

       The next morning,the young man went to the director’s office. “I cleaned my mother’s hands and I know that without my mother,I would not be the person I am today.” he said.

       “This is what I am looking for in my manager.” the director said. “I want a person who can appreciate（感激）the help of others to get things done. You get the job!”

25、   Our first expression is “in the red”. It is another way of saying that a business is losing money. In the past, numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink to show a loss.

A business magazine recently published a report about a television company. The report said the company was still in the red, but was able to cut its loss from the year before.

You can often tell from their faces if the businessmen are in the black or in the red.

A profit(盈利) by a business is written in black numbers. So a company that is “in the black”is making money. An international news service reported that a private hospital in Australia announced it was “back in the black with its first profit in three years.”

Another business expression is “run on the bank”. That is what happens when many people try to withdraw all their money from a bank. A run on the bank usually happens when people believe there is danger a bank may fail or close.

“When a run on banks was starting, there was not much they could do,” said a banking expert, “which means they will lose all the money saved in the bank.”

27、The documentary Born in China was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) and shows animals’ lives during different seasons.

It not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild-giant pandas and Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊), for example—but also shows traditional Chinese culture. The film mainly focuses on life and love within three animal families—giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards.

A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang. The panda’s gentle nature (本性) also shows how yin and yang, when perfectly balanced, lead to peace and harmony(和谐). This can be seen in the documentary when a giant panda mother guides her baby to gradually look for independence and explore the world.

Monkeys always have strong personalities. The best example might be the Monkey King, a character from the popular novel Journey to the West. On one hand he stands for impatience.

But on the other hand, he shows cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who feels like his life has been changed for the worse by his new baby sister.

He quickly joins up with a group of other free-spirited monkeys, but finally returns to his family and understands the meaning of responsibility.

A mother snow leopard faces the challenge of raising her two children in a harsh (严酷的) environment. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork, have inspired a form of pictographic boxing (象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts (武术).

“Born in China is a means to show Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the Binhai Times newspaper. “From five-animal exercises to pictographic boxing, Chinese people have learned from wild animals since ancient times.
