Question

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old     in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place      you live. Some people worry      young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead,      Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good,     Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can      have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:    friendliness. Not all countries are as      as China.

It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn      them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but      you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要从英语中一句古老的格言说起，就相当于汉语中的“这山望着那山高。”作者谈到了有些中国人在盲目效仿他国文化，而不认真领会中国文化的真谛。学习其他国家的文化固然很好，但是我们不能让他代替了自己的文化。我们要学会观察，学会学习，取其精华去其糟粕。用格言中的话说，那边的草并不总是比这边绿。
