Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom. They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture. Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong. Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act. Understanding your own cultural values is important too. If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier. Many proverbs are very old. So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were. For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb "Haste makes waste", because patience is not important to them. But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present. And many of the older values are still strong today. Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer, and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb "Time is money" is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before. A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures. In many cases, though, the same idea is expressed differently.
23. Why are proverbs so important?
24. According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time?
25. What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world?
选项
A、Old proverbs are constantly replaced by new ones.
B、Some proverbs are assuming more and more importance.
C、Certain values have always been central to a culture.
D、Certain values are shared by a large number of cultures.
答案
D
解析
短文最后提到一项对谚语的研究表明,世界上许多文化有着一些共同的价值观,D与短文中some values are shared by many cultures意思相同,因此为答案。短文中未提到用新谚语替代旧谚语(A),也没有说文化中某些价值观总是核心的(C),因此排除A、C。录音中提及谚语中表达的价值观有可能变弱,也有可能一直很重要,但没有说“越来越重要”,故不可选B。
