The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man-courageous, courteous(谦恭的),manly, and intellectual.(有智力的).

A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher(哲学家), made an interesting comment about Cleopatra's nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!

Historically, man's nose had had a main role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy(嫉妒)and revenge(报复).

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, "to hold up one's nose" expresses a basic human feeling-pride. People can hold their noses up at people, things, and places. The phrase "to be led around by the nose" shows a man's weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who "follows his nose" lets his instinct(本能)guide him. For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase "to have one's nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to the persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sample of expressions in English dealing with "nose". There are a number of others. However, it should be "as plain as the nose on your face" that the nose is more than an organ(器官)for breathing and smelling!

The underlined expression "as plain as the nose on your face" means " ________ ".

A. easy to understand

B. too proud to expect others

C. weak to be controlled by others

D. jealousy enough to hate others

What is the passage mainly about?

A. The function(功能)of the nose.

B. A famous woman poet's wish.

C. A number of phrases about "nose". 

The West began to take more notice of the East.The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year.The first volume,which was published twenty years ago,set the tone for the whole work.In it,evidence was given to show that many inventions which,until then,western historians had claimed forEurope,were made first in China.The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians.However,the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first.China’s invention of paper,printing,the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed,but this new history has added advanced bridge design,mechanical clocks,paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.

In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times.It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China,where a static(稳定的) society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages.In recent years,the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again,and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year.But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?

A.ten years ago             B.last year                    C.five years ago            D.twenty years ago
