     Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their
way to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,
he missed the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around
him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
     Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. "Tell me, Huihua,
how could people laugh when someone felllike that? Do they care at all? Shouldn't they go up and ask the
young man whether he was hurt?"
     "They knew he wasn't hurt too much." Huihua said.
     "But I still don't understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!"
     Chinese Perspective (觀點(diǎn))
     This is an example in which the Chinese and the westemers explain a smile differently. Very often, the
Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (緩解尷尬) when they are caught
in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any
more. People will help him instead.
     North American Perspective A westemer would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either
insensitivity (不關(guān)心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was
disliked. A westemer's reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him," Are you
OK'?" If a westemer fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件)
if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn't hurt, a common
joke is to say "Have a nice trip". However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each
other well.
1. Did Huihua help the young man after he fell down in the bookstore? 
    ________________________________________________________
2. How did Mary feel about Huihua's attitude towards the young man? 
    ________________________________________________________
3. In a westemer's opinion, what does the laughter in an embarrassing situation show? 
    ________________________________________________________
4. What does the underlined word "trip" mean? 
    ________________________________________________________
5. What is the main idea of the passage? 
    ________________________________________________________
1. No, she didn't.
2. She felt worried / uncomfortable.
3. It shows either insensitivity or pleasure.
4. It means falling (down) / Fall.
5. Chinese and westemers have different perspectives on the person falling.

Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas.
      2 Usually, all around good student, which was called "thrice good", was given to the students who
were virtuous (品德高尚的), talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage
