1 (20 points): "Harmony" is one of the most cherished values in Chinese culture. Confucianism advocates the idea that "Harmony is most precious", believing that with their ethical attainments people can handle affairs properly and create harmonious social relationships. Buddhism, Taoism and Mohism, as well as Confucianism, all advocate a harmonious relationship between people and between ethnic groups. Chinese people have always given priority to a harmonious relation in dealing with people in everyday life, as they know that a harmonious human relationship and society is of vital importance to human survival and development. Today when we're constructing a harmonious society, the idea of harmony has become even more important. Source Text

2 (30 points): Even if the word 'pop' disappears from the English vocabulary, the influence of pop will remain. Pop has become part of BritishCand AmericanChistory. There has always been a close cultural link, or tie, between Britain and English-speaking America, not only in literature but also in the popular arts, especially music. Before the Second World War the Americans exported jazz and the blues. Some pop groups, in particular the Rolling Stones, did more than just entertain. They wrote words which were deliberately intended to shock. They represented the anger and bitterness of youth struggling for freedom against authority, and for this reason they were regarded by some people as the personification of the 'permissive society'. The Beatles, on the other hand, finally won the affectionCand admirationCof people of all ages and social backgrounds. As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only of love, but of death and old age and poverty and daily life. They were respected by many intellectuals and by some serious musicians. Largely thanks to the Beatles, pop music has grown into an immense and profitable industry. Source Text
