　　Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white．Westerners think of dragons as monsters．Chinese honor them as symbols of God．Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立)with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string．Now in the University if California, Berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures－polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth．

　　His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other．More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways．The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing Scholar, who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology．And Americans could profit enormously from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said．

　　“Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument, ” said Peng．“The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don't need to find the truth,, or maybe there isn't any．” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions．They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added．

　　In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “non-compromising, blaming one side-usually the mother-for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise” in dealing with the conflict．Compared to this angry, blaming American method, the Chinese were paragons(模范)of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle．

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.

One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

41． Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．A childhood Dream. B．A Mother’s Love.

C．A Graduation Party. D．A Special Birthday.

42．The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _________.

A．she could take care of things herself B．she hoped she would find a boyfriend

C．she wanted her to be happy and strong D．she thought education was most important

43．Who was the sender of the flower?

A．A boy the writer had run into. B．One of the writer’s neighbors.

C．One of the writer’s classmates. D．The writer’s mother.
