Frankly, I appreciate myself very much.Yes, I admit I"m in many aspects not as good as other people, but I don"t think I"m always not good.When I find what I"ve done or written is okay, I"ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and if I receive praise for it, I"ll even become so excited as to add a few words to reward myself. True, I"m not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的). But I think otherwise. I appreciate other people.I appreciate anything good.Isn"t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others? We Chinese generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so.For example, a Chinese man will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning"my humble wife", and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning"my poor writings". But if you call his wife a "rustic (乡村的) woman" or his writings"trash", he would, I"m sure, declare he would make a clean break with you angrily.As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you. I don"t think it"s wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you"re really worthy of praise.As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon seller, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods.Well, why can"t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy? Lao Wang sells melons for a living.How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations (装模作样) of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons?He would sure enough die of starvation. Selfappreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work.Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.One will lose confidence in writing when he stops admiring his own essays. 1.

信息匹配 A. Reasons for Having Large Families in Some Countries. B. Calculation of Population Growth. C. Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率) D. High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries. E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries. F. Birth Control Programs. 1. _____ Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths.The growth rate is calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate.If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year. 2._____ Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died young.Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth. 3._____ Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in mortality rates in the developing nations.But fertility rates (出生率) have not declined as quickly, and the result has been high rates of population growth.Reduced population growth depends to some extent on decreased birth rates. 4._____ Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility, but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been tried.If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are supposed to benefit from them. 5. _____ To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need them.In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant contributions to household income.In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents. |
