31.在兽类中我最爱虎，在虎的故事中我最爱下面的一个。
深山中有一所古庙，几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。
同他们做朋友的，除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外，就是几只猛虎。
虎不惊扰僧人，却替他们守护庙宇。
作为报酬，和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。
每天傍晚，夕阳染红小半个天空，虎们成群地走到庙门口，吃了东西，跳跃而去。
庙门大开，僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课，也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西，即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前，虎们亦视为平常的事情，把他们看做熟人，不去惊动，却斯斯文文地吃完走开。
如果看不见僧人，虎就发出几声长啸，随着几阵风飞腾而去。
Instead of harassing the monks, the tigers voluntarily stood guard at the gate of the temple. As a reward for it, the monks would place some edibles in front of the gate for the tigers to eat.Towards evening, when the setting sun had dyed half of the sky red, the tigers would come up to the gate in groups to eat their fill and then left slipping and jumping. The monks usually left the gate wide open while peacefully engaged in their daily routine of chanting Buddhist scripture inside the temple. Normally none of their came out to watch the tigers eat. Sometimes, however, one or two monks did appear standing at the gate, but the tigers would remain unalarmed and, taking the monks for their friends, did nothing to harm them. They just kept on eating unhurriedly until they finished and left. Sometimes, when they found，monks at the gate,they would whisk away like the wind after uttering several thunderous roars.32.第二年正式签署和约，随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。
她对外国人万分惧怕，正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。
她在河南停留了很长一段时间，到了保定又逗留多日，好不容易才回到北京。
据野史记载，在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。
一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子，她颇为高兴，竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马褂。
后来太监报告说，有的官员发出了“人不如猴”的感慨，慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐，于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。
得到这殊荣之后，大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。
In the following year, a formal peace pact was signed. About a month later, Cixi leftXi’an at last. Sh e was utterly fearful of foreigners just as she was extremely arro-gant toward her own countrymen. She stopped far a long time in Henan and halted in Baoding for quite a few days before finally arriving in Beijing. According to unofficial accounts，an amusing episode took place during this long and drawn out journey. When a local official offered a monkey to her as a gift，she was so pleased that she ordered a yellow mandarin jacket to be conferred upon the monkey．later, a eunuch heard some officials complaining that people were considered less worthy than a monkey and went to inform Cixi，who realized that her order had been indeed a little too whimsical. So sheissued another edict granting each of the escorting officials a yellow mandarin jacket. Upon the receipt of such an unusual favor the officials did not know whether they should thank Cixi or rather the monkey for it.33.中国家庭一向尊老爱幼。
在大家庭里，老一辈人的意见受到尊重，小一辈的人得到全家的爱护。
中国宪法规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。
在城市里，不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人生活费并帮助他们干家务活儿。
在农村，尽管大家庭解体了，许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。
对他们来说，分家不过是分灶而已。
结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近，这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。
In extended families, older member's opinion was respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good care of by all. China's constitution stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, couples who do not live with their aged parents give the latter living allowances and help them with the house chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means cooking their meals separately. Married sons most often havetheir houses built near their parents’ Home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as before．34.三峡大坝的建造是举世瞩目的最伟大的成就之一。
我对这项宏伟工程仍然充满敬畏：谁能想像高山会被移动，世界最大的河流之一会被人驯服，就为了造福13亿人民！中国人民似乎没有克服不了的困难。
他们正在构筑自己的未来，其规模与人民的需要相匹配。
如果谁真正了解中国人民的需求需要付出多大的努力，他们就不会对这种努力说三道四。
每个工业化国家在其发展的历史进程中，都有一个重大的阶段进行基础设施建设，造福于民。
中国目前正处在这样一个阶段，并且面临比所有其他国家更多更大的任务。
可以肯定地说，中国人民有能力完成三峡工程。
No task seems too large for the people of China. They are building their future on a scalethat matches the needs for their people, who could fault this effort if they truly understood what it takes to provide for the people of China. In the history of every in-dustrialized nation, there has been a great period of building infrastructure for the bene-fit of its people. China is in this period now and the task is much greater than the ones that any other country has ever faced. There should be no question that the Chinese people have the ability to successfully complete the Three Gorges Project.35.我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的实事求是的优良传统和作风，作老实人，说老实话，办老实事。
这是一个共产党员的起码标准。
一定要言行一致。
理论与实际密切结合，反对华而不实和任何虚夸，少说空话，多做工作，扎扎实实，埋头苦干。
