Were friends.”“Id rather pay,” I replied.”If its free, I cant afford it!”Chinese often refu

17、se payment for professional services, insisting, “Were friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!According to the Americans, “Theres no free lunch,” me

18、aning that theres a price for everything, and Im always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairmanhas repeatedly refused to let me pay him.”Wait until you have somet

19、hing major to fix! ”he insists.I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that hed had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for

20、 Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money.But cash cant compensate(补偿)for the greatest gift-friendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to d

21、o.”“Actually, “I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably youre right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!”And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, “The

22、y were pocket-sized when you came here.Now theyre taller than you.How time flies!”How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the nex

23、t time someone says, “No charge.Were friends! “ I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because theres still no free lunch.56.Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free

27、 his mind and decided to do as the Chinese do.BDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dol

28、lars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He didnt say anything th

29、at was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three mill

30、ion jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” thats true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes

An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.60. How much did the lo
