Question

 "The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. " That's an old 11        in English. It means other places often look better,more interest?ing than the place 12        you live. Some people worry 13        young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and. instead,14        Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas as well as cele?brating western holidays.

 Foreign books and soap operas are good,15        Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays,Christmas is nice,but it can 16        have the meaning for Chinese as the Spring Festival has,and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Au- tumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: 17      friendliness. Not all countries are as 18        as China. It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn 19        them,but they cannot replace our own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence,but 20        you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
