24、

During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a government official named Yang Zhen.

One day, Yang ran into his old coworker Wang Mi during a trip.

In the past, Yang noticed Wang’s talent and promoted (提拔) him.

Wang never forgot Yang’s help and invited Yang to stay over for the night.

It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang’s bedroom. He handed Yang a bag and said, “This is to thank you for teaching me and helping me become who I am today.” Yang looked in the bag. It was full of gold ingots (金锭).

“Do I look like a person who accepts bribes (贿赂)? I thought you knew me well!” Yang said angrily.

“It’s late at night. No one will know if we keep it a secret.” said Wang.

“What do you mean no one would know? Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know and I know.” Yang said.

Wang left the room in shame.

What do we learn from it?

Yang Zhen was an honest and just person both in front of others and when he was alone. His virtue (美德) of shendu(慎独), or self-restraint, made him a great government official.

The idea of self-restraint was important in ancient China. For example, the book Dizigui teaches children to “enter an empty house as if it was occupied (入虚室, 如有人) ”. This means that even when nobody is watching, you should behave as if there are others nearby. If you can’t keep your rules and do bad things in secret, it may lead you down a troubled path.

This story is 2,000 years old. But the lesson is still important today. In 2017, President Xi Jinping told this story at an important meeting. He asked government officials to be free from corruption (腐败). But as students, you should also keep this lesson in mind. Will you save food when no one is watching? Will you be careful with the language you use on social media? We should often ask: am I still a moral (道德的) person when I’m alone?

【1】Yang Zhen promoted Wang Mi because ________ .

A．he knew Wang was talented

B．he wanted to thank Wang for his help

C．Wang was his old coworker

D．Wang lived a poor life

【2】We might describe Yang as being ________ .

A．two-faced

B．shameless

C．silly

D．just

【3】Why was Yang angry with Wang?

A．Because Wang gave his secrets away.

B．Because he found Wang wasn’t talented.

C．Because he found Wang accepted bribes.

D．Because Wang tried to bribe him.

China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

27、   Ray-Tokuda, a 54-year-old Japanese American. is proud of the title his school has given him. He is a Shifu, a Chinese word meaning a master of martial arts（武术）.

Tokuda has reason to be proud. He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for over 40 years. After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State, today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school.

Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda’s daily routine（日常生活）. “I’m still learning. It’s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts.” he said, “Once I started, I just couldn’t stop. I think it’s also the magic of Chinese culture.”

Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 1. He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out. “My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance, so he put his kid in.” he said, “I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting.”

But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than fighting. “One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming difficulty.” Tokuda said.

Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu-related stories. “It is like in America, where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur.” he said, “I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can’t be found in books.”

Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to show traditional Chinese culture, including the dragon dance and lion dance. Because of this, he is now considered a cultural envoy（使者）in the eyes of the public.
