A
A drunk walks into a bar and says to the waiter, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill.”
So the waiter does just that and hands the man a bill for $57. The drunk says, “I haven't got it.”
The waiter slaps the guy around a few times, then throws him out into the street.
The very next day the same drunk walks into the bar and once again says, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill.”
The waiter looks at the guy and figures_to_himself that he can't possibly be stupid enough to play the same trick twice, so he gives him the benefit of the doubt, pours a round of drinks for the house, has a drink himself and hands the drunk a bill for $57. The drunk says, “I haven't got it.”
The waiter can't believe it. He picks the guy up, beats the living daylights out of him, then throws him out into the street.
The next day the same drunk walks back into the same bar and says, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink and give me the bill.” In disgust (厌恶), the waiter says, “What? No drink for me this time？”
The drunk replies, “You? No way! You get too violent when you drink.”

“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” That's an old saying in English. It means that other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid­autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best：its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener.
60．The author thinks young Chinese ________.
A. are foolish in learning our own culture
B. are ignoring our own culture
C. are interested in our own culture
D. are hating our own culture
61．In young Chinese people's eyes, which of the following is NOT the “greener grass”？
_________
A. Japanese cartoon books. B. Korean soap operas.
C. Christmas D. The Mid­autumn Festival.
62．In the author's opinion, what is the best characteristic (特点) of Chinese culture?
__________
A. Friendly B. Hardworking. C. Brave. D. Honest.
63.．What is the best title for the passage?
__________
A. Chinese Culture and Western Culture B. Simple Young Chinese
C. That Grass Not Always Greener D. Interesting Western Culture

Gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her. The simple fact that she desires to spend a year in another country is proof enough. I have also seen her show this curiosity in class. She asked some of the most interest
