27、re leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked. the message was from my father. my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming, and underneath a poem by william blake. the flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky,

28、 inspired me. my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid. that may even be the reason why i love writing. i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back. i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift. i sent the photo of the cream-colored

34、e author has received. bif confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his september 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people

35、 in the united states will give him a passing thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to rea

36、ch a deeper understanding of china. in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the m

37、ain courses of chinese culture usually include chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantages of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of westerner philosophy. students in the united states, at the same time, are raci

42、n _. a. a biographyb. a history paperc. a newspaperd. a philosophy textbookcin his 1930 essay “economic possibilities for our grandchildren, john keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, w

43、hich make us feel superior to our fellows. he thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. he was greatly mistaken, however, in se

44、eing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands. decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. when a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior

45、to others probably never comes to them. their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.there are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. for example, porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market.

46、 priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. but in , the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. people who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. to get them, however, they

47、must pay almost four times the price.by placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, keynes actually reduced such demands. however, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.64. what do we know about the couple in paragraph 3?a. they wan

50、levision companies. many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. an attraction of sport programs for the major u.s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday

51、afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at

52、relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of maj

53、or corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few view

54、ers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers. this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is

55、 sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips. this is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars and computers. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ra
