文化教育類
From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two people watching Peking Opera. With the actress performing vividly on the stage, the old man is watching attentively. However, the little boy sitting beside does not even cast a glance at the actress and falls sleepy. It is obvious that he shows no interest in Peking Opera.
The cartoon reflects an interesting and usual respect of daily life. However, from a deeper perspectives, it also reveals the gradual loss of traditional culture in modern society. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon ? Possible reasons could be listed as follows: for one thing, quite a few people, especially youngsters, hold that Chinese traditional culture is out-dated and of little use in modern society. Perhaps, from their perspective, traditional culture form the distant past can hardly adapt to or keep pace with the ever-changing new world. Moreover, exotic cultures, to some extent, have also posed a great challenge to the traditional culture of China. As we can see, a large body of people have been attracted by foreign cultures which feature diversity, novelty and richness —Crazy fans of foreign TV programs, electronic products or even ways of life abound in our daily life.
However, no one can deny the significance of Chinese traditional culture. It is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and civilization. An individual or nation showing no respect to the essence of traditional culture cannot be expected to develop and be stronger. Hence, something could and should be done to reverse the inexorable decline in the emphasis of Chinese traditional culture. (263)
參考譯文：
如上圖所示，我們可以看到有兩個人正在看京劇。當女演員生動地在舞臺上表演，老者專心致志地看著。然而，坐在邊上的小男孩甚至都沒有瞥一眼女演員并且睡著了。很明顯，他對京劇沒有什么興趣。
這幅圖畫反應了日常生活中有趣而又平常的一面。然而，從更為深層的角度來看，它也揭示了現代社會中的傳統文化的流失。是什么導致了這個現象?是什么導致了這個現象?可能的理由可以羅列如下：首先，相當多的人，尤其是年輕人，認為中國傳統文化在現代社會中過時而且沒有什么用了。也許，在他們看來，來自遙遠的過去的傳統文化幾乎是不能適應和跟得上持續變化的新世界的。再者，外來文化也在某種程度上對傳統文化造成了巨大的威脅。正如我們所能看見的，相當多的人已經被以多樣性、新穎性和豐富性為特征的國外文化吸引了 — 對國外電視節目，電子產品甚至是生活方式狂熱的粉絲在我們生活中比比皆是。
然而，沒有人可以否認傳統文化的重要性。它是中國智慧和文明的結晶。一個不尊重傳統文化的精髓的民族和個人是無法發展和強大的。因此，我們可以也應該做一些事情，來扭轉現在人們對中國傳統文化的重視的不可遏制的下降。
