Many Chinese people believe it will be a
13、 good year, because they like the animal itself.The ox has an important place in Chinese culture. It stands for the spirit of hard work and selflessness (无私).

14、ribes those who help others but ask nothing for themselves. Just as the Chinese writer Lu Xun once wrote, “Cows eat grass, but give milk.”To this day, the phrase “the spirit of ox” still refers to getting over anything that may get in the way of their development.

20、 older children a more disciplined(遵守纪律的) personality.The scientists also found that middle children are 30 percent more likely to become CEOs than their brothers and sisters. The scientists said the reason could be that middle children need to do more to get attention from their parents. This makes
21、 them more competitive, more flexible(灵活变通的) and better at negotiating(谈判).

26、ol. Carrying the bags everywhere made the students very tired. They felt heavy stones in their hearts. And they had to pay attention to them all the time, so they didnt forget them. The potatoes went bad and smelt terrible soon.Forgiveness is a gift to other people. However, it is also a gift to us
