9 . The Unity (和谐) of Man and Nature

The “unity of man and nature” is necessary and important in the cultural tradition of China. The Chinese believe in the unity of man and nature, a basic way to their philosophy (哲学) of life.       1     They are also celebrated for nature.   

    2     Zhuangzi, for example, believed “Heaven (天) and earth are parents to all things in the world”. The beauty of nature is to “give birth to all things” and “let all things grow”, while the duty of humans is to “make all things perfect (完美的)”. Heaven, earth, and humans should be one in unity.     3     They are necessary to each other, so they should treat (对待) each other with kindness.

The idea of unity of man and nature has been in the heart of Chinese people.     4     In most provinces of China, some rules have been made to reduce (减少) pollution. Many power stations (发电厂) that produce and provide safe and clean electricity have been built.     5    

Most of the Chinese, especially the young, are willing to protect the natural environment. China is now working with all other countries to make the earth a better place to live.

A．Each of the three has its own way.

B．The power is from water, wind, and sunlight.

C．There are plenty of great people in the history of China.

D．The ancient Chinese never placed themselves above nature.

E．It encourages modern Chinese to take action (采取行动) to protect natural environment.

F．Nature and man depend on each other.

G．Most traditional Chinese festivals build a right order of relationships among humans.

10 . A tree has roots (根). People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.

As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock (解开……秘密) the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.

As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key (关键). Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.

Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin(拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it?

• If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.   

• If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.

• If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.

Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.

1. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”?

A．Jim pays every time.	B．They each pay half.
C．They take turns paying.	D．Their parents pay for them.

2. How does the author (作者) explain his ideas about root words?

A．By giving a fact.	B．By taking an example.
C．By telling a story.	D．By having a discussion.

3. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root?

A．My brother is my senior by two years.

B．He was ill so he was absent from school.

C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law.

D．60 students were present at the sports meeting.

4. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
(①=Paragraph (段落) 1   ② =Paragraph 2, ...)

A．	B．
C．	D．
