According to a joint survey by the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Daily and the news center of Tencent.com，76.9％ of the 5,21l respondents（调查对象），all being youths in their 20s, believe the society needs chutouniao（“leading birds”）who dare to take risks to show their worth，although，as the Chinese, saying goes, “The leading bird gets shot first．”or “One who takes the lead usually bears the brunt of an attack．”
About 58.2％of the respondents think that one has to work hard at all times, and one must know how to show off when the chance comes．53％of them also believe that it is necessary to be aggressive（进取的）,sometimes．
“I wish my employees will let me know when they have achieved something．”said LiuXueyuan，the president of a media company，as it is impossible for him to know all his employees well．However, showing off too much is of course no good, either．“One who likes to show off one’s achievement will also be the first to be noticed when one makes a mistake．”said Liu．He suggested that the employees should do their jobs steadily and surely．
Although most respondents think chutouniao are necessary，not many of them like to hobnob（亲近）with such persons．In fact, 65.9％ of the respondents simply don’t like them，while 7.1％ of the respondents expressed their hatred（厌恶）of them．
Faced with the conflict between “needed by the society” and “disliked by fellow beings,” quite a large number of people have let slip chances．59.6％ of the respondents regret it．

| Table Manners and Hygiene-East vs. West | |
| Mr. Wang 2008.3-15 6:30 PM | I started thinking about this issue at my brother-in law’s 60th birthday party last Saturday. Before we ate the main meal we sat around a table that was loaded with large bowls of snack items, chocolate-covered peanuts, munchies（小吃）, cherries, and a few other things. The eater had to reach into the bowl and grab（抓）a handful of snacks and then convey them to the mouth with the other hand. A lot of people were strangers to me and I observed a cat being carried around, a dog being petted, and a number of noses being rubbed, between eating handfuls of snacks. Ughh! I started thinking about Chinese table manners. My wife and I will share things from the same plate or cup but we always put serving spoons out with the dishes on the table. Often we don’t use them though. In my family we use our personal chopsticks to take food from the serving dishes. But we are careful and only touch food we will eat ourselves. |
| Miss Brown 2008-3-15 7:50 PM | I hate that too. It’s not like it happens everywhere you know. At least in the ‘Netherlands you’re not supposed to touch other people’s food. And if you touch something, you have to eat it. Basically a Dutch setup: 3 pans/bowls, 1 with meat, 1 with rice or potatoes and 1 with vegetables. Every pan/ bowl has its own “opscheplepel”(big spoon) and you’re not allowed to touch it with your mouth/ hands/ whatever. Only put the food on your own plate. Everyone has their own plate with their own set of spoon/ knife/fork. |
| Mrs. Black 2008-3-15 8:30 PM | In an English restaurant everything you eat comes ready allocated（分配）onto your plate. Usually you do not need to transfer things onto your plate, for the kitchen did that already. In the flu and cold season even touching a spoon handle or chopstick that others have used to transfer food will dirty your fingers with these viruses, so English restaurant style is the most hygienic(unless the waitress had flu, but then the manager will not allow a waiter or waitress with a raging cold to serve.) |
| Ms. Butterfly 2008-3-15 9:30 PM | If the communal（共用的）bowls contain foods you help yourself to by picking them up with a pair of chopsticks that no one uses for the purpose of eating, then communal bowls are not bad. Use communal chopsticks to transfer food from the communal bowl into your own bowl, and voila…. Sometimes people will use their own chopsticks to help themselves to items from communal bowls, thus transferring bacteria from their own body to the communal vessels. This can be seen in lots of hole-pin-the-wall restaurants. I personally favor silverware over chopsticks but that has nothing to do with hygiene（卫生保健）.One drawback of the use of chopsticks is: an inordinate（过多）amount of timber（木材）is misused in making disposable chopsticks. But I don’t like Mc-Donald’s dining style where you must pick up your French fries with your fingers! Nothing can be more elegant（高雅）and hygienic than using knives, spoons and forks properly. |

An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled（溺爱）and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express ‘thank-you’.” Well, how do you like that? First, I don’t think China’s youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.
Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It’s easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?
Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.
And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.
1. According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to
_______.
A. suffer from loneliness and anxiety
B. play endless online games

D. worry about life’s pressures
2. What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin?
A. Open but ridiculous.
B. Funny but meaningless.
C. Real and interesting.
D. Honest and responsible.
3. It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 that _______.
A. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled
B. parents focus mostly on children’s education rather than the personality building
C. there is a tendency that it’s harder to find close friends to have an honest chat with
D. teenagers will recreate a real and interactive experience to strengthen friendship
4. According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd?
A. To stay long in Internet cafes.
B. To play music in a band.
C. To abandon our own hobb
ies.D. To focus on extra courses.
