Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple 16 powerful concept ─ the ant philosophy. They have an amazing four-part philosophy.
First, ants never quit. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a great philosophy it is to never quit 17 (look) for a way to get 18 you're supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. That's 19 important attitude. You can't be so naive(幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People 20 have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. It’s important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 21 , "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And 22 the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 23 (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can't wait 24 (get) out. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it 25 (possible) can.
What a great philosophy to have----the ant philosophy：never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

A
One of the most common complaints of apartment-dwellers(居民) is annoying neighbors. Here are some ways to handle noisy neighbors.
Accept Some Degree of Apartment Noise
Before getting worked up over the noisy neighbors in the apartment, make sure to have realistic expectations. Everyone living in an apartment building is bound to hear noise from other units' televisions, music, and children occasionally.
Give Noisy Neighbors the Benefit of the Doubt
It's probably the case that the neighbor who is driving everyone crazy doesn't realize how far hi s noise is carrying.Remember that noise level is difficult to control with children. Babies inevitably cry in the middle of the night.
Meet the Neighbors and Be Friendly
Making a friendly gesture will surprisingly reduce apartment noise. Neighbors who know each other will probably be much more careful not to bother each other.
Address Noise Calmly and Face-to-Face
If a loud noise needs to be addressed, go to the offending apartment personally and knock politely on the door. Being polite will usually bring a polite response
Report Noisy Neighbors to the Landlord
If a noise issue becomes a constant problem or doesn't improve after a personal request, it's time to bring it up to management. Make sure to be objective and fair in your report, and be a ble to cite the frequency of the problem and provide details about it.
Things to Avoid when Dealing with a Loud Neighbor
There are some definite "don't"s when it comes to handling life with a loud apartment neighbor. Don't ?Seek revenge(报复) or try to "outdo" a noisy neighbor
?Complain to them face to face repeatedly about the same issue
?Suffer in silence
Doing these things may work for some time, but they're never good long-term solutions. Instead, they
26.
A. some neighbors are making noise on purpose
B. we can expect to hear little noise from our neighbors
C. we had better suffer in silence in face of noisy neighbors
D. we should realize that noise from neighbors is unavoidable
A. we could seek revenge on noisy neighbors
B. families with children can control the noise level easily
C. friendly gesture has a good effect on reducing apartment noise
D. people are aware that their noise has a great effect on their neighbors
28. The underlined word "exacerbate" in the last Paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. worsen
B. accept
C. improve
D. avoid
29. What should we do if a noise issue becomes a constant problem?
A. Warn the noisy neighbour of the problem.
B. Complain to the noisy neighbors repeatedly.
C. Report the situation to the landlord objectively.
D. Talk to the noisy neighbors face to face politely.
30.What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Who are your apartment neighbors?
B. How to be a popular apartment neighbor?
C. How to deal with noisy apartment neighbors?
D. How to make friends with apartment neighbors?
B
Dhaka's pedal-powered tricycles (脚踏三轮车) may not appear high-tech but they keep the commuters moving and do no damage to the environment.
Travel, they say, broadens your mind. I am not sure if it really does but it is certainly an experience in itself. Just like the food, the public transport is also an experience. Dhaka streets are full of carbon emitting buses and trucks and noisy cars.
Traffic jams are a part of daily life in Dhaka. Residents say vehicle-related pollution has been more and more
serious over the last few years. Perhaps to ease the situation, some of the many non-profit non-government organizations –and the civil society ought to launch a ―Save the Capital campaign‖.
It is true that in Dhaka at any hour of the day and in many areas, there are always crowds of people going somewhere – or just waiting for something to happen. One thing is sure: You will never feel lonely!
One form of transport which is extremely popular, widely available, cheap, private and eco-friendly is a three-wheeled invention called rickshaw(人力车). The most interesting feature of these slow-moving pedal-powered transport is the bright and colourful ―moving art‖ which decorates their side and back. The drawings range from romance to the wildest flights of fantasy. The scenes are common: airplanes, helicopters, and gun-battles, masked men in sports cars, rosy cheeked well-endowed women, palatial mansions, rivers and green landscape.
When you hire a rickshaw, make yourself ―comfortable‖ and tell the driver your destination, you have then become a part of the moving art exhibition. The rickshaws are decorated in vivid colours, from front to back.
We cannot deny that the rickshaw art however modest it may be reaches millions everyday – something only dreamt of by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Turner or Monet.
While at the local level the rickshaws provide a readily available cheap means of transport and a way out of the crowded Dhaka streets, on a broader and international level the rickshaws are contributing to help bring down the city’s po llution levels and ease global warming.
31. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.
A. explanation
B. introduction
C. comment
D. background
32.According to the passage, the writer agrees that ________.
A. we can broaden our mind when traveling
B. traffic jams is the most serious problem in Dhaka
C. we can experience public transport when traveling
D. Dhaka is the most famous travel destination
33.It is true that in Dhaka ________.
A. there are still not enough rickshaws
B. it is a little expensive to hire a rickshaw
C. rickshaws are very popular and eco-friendly
D. rickshaws are decorated with the drawings of famous artists
34.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the writer thinks highly of rickshaws
B. rickshaws will be popular all over the world soon
C. the drawings on the rickshaws covers limited topics.
D. the government has launched a ―Save the Capital campaign‖
35.What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce Dhaka to tourists.
B. To report recent news in Dhaka .
C. To teach tourists how to use rickshaw.
D. To provide some traffic information in Dhaka.
C
With Oscar Peterson's death on the 23rd December 2007, Canada, and the jazz world, mourns.
Oscar Emmanuel Peterson was born on August 15th, 1925, in a poor area of Montreal known as Little Burgundy. His father, Daniel Peterson, earned his living as a railway worker, but spent most of his spare time playing the piano, a passion he finally passed onto his son Oscar. However, Oscar, until he was 8 or 9, thought himself a budding professional baseball player rather than a musician. He spent more time playing ball than practising endless scales with his father -- that is, until he heard some jazz on the radio.
One of the jazz musicians Peterson found himself listening to on that old family radio was the partially blind, Ohio born pianist, Art Tatum. From then on he was hooked.
But Peterson's father knew that without a good formal musical education, the talented Oscar would be at a disadvantage. To this end, Daniel Peterson arranged for Oscar to have private lessons with a famous classical pianist Paul de Marky.
By the time Peterson reached his teens he was already playing in several local Montreal jazz and dance bands, attracting audiences with his unique technique sound.
And it was at that concert, in 1949, that Peterson first played with bassist(男低音) Ray Brown - a musical partnership that was to last until Brown's death in 2002. After that concert Peterson's career went from strength to strength, with at least five long playing records coming out each year from the mid-1950s.
A highlight of his career was an invitation to write a piece of music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
Throughout his long career Oscar Peterson was given many awards for his services to music. He was also, apart from Queen Elizabeth II, one of the few people to get his picture on a Canadian postage stamp.
In 1993 Peterson suffered a stroke(中风). In the last couple of years, he was only really playing with his right hand, which sounded better, and was faster, than most jazz pianists with two good hands.
Oscar Peterson died on the Sunday before Christmas from renal failure at his home in the Mississauga suburb of Toronto.
36. Who was disabled?
A. Oscar Peterson.
B. Paul de Marky.
C. Art Tatum.
D. Ray Brown.
37. Which of the following statements about Oscar Peterson is TRUE?
A. He was born in a rich area of Montreal.
B. His picture was on a Canadian postage stamp.
C. He always dreamed of becoming baseball player.
D. He had cooperated with Ray Brown for a short time.
38. What does the underlined word "hooked" most probably mean?
A. Attracted.
B. Surprised.
C. Shocked.
D. Annoyed.
39. Which is the right order of the following statements?
a. Oscar Peterson suffered a stroke
b. Peterson first played with Ray Brown
c. Oscar Peterson had lessons with Paul de Marky
d. Oscar Peterson played in local Montreal jazz and dance bands
e. Oscar Peterson wrote music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer
A. d-c-b-e-a
B. d-c-b-a-e
C. c-d-b-a-e
D. c-d-b-e-a
40. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. Oscar Peterson's career took off after the concert in 1949.
B. Oscar Peterson was given many awards for his success in music
C. Oscar Peterson’s father had a great influence on his road to success.
D. Oscar Peterson’ poor health prevented him from playing the piano after 1993.

If you’re trying to fi nd out what to study in college, a new report suggests you would do well choosing a major in science, technology, engineering or math.
The report, based on Census and National Science Foundation data analyzed by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, shows that professions that depend heavily on skills learned in these fields are the second-fastest growing occupational group in the United States, after health care.
While traditional fields like computer engineering and laboratory research make up about 5 percent of the work force, demand for science, technology, engineering and math skills is spreading far beyond, to occupations in manufacturing, transportation and mining, as well as to sales and management. As a result, the study argues that there is a shortage of so-called STEM workers.
With a shortage of people trained in such fields, many technology and scientific companies in the United States are forced to employ people from abroad, the study’s authors say.
According to the study, people with talent in science, technology, engineering or math don’t often major in such subjects during college in the first place. Of those graduating with such degrees, only 10 percent go into related fields such as engineering, physical science or architecture.
Compared with many other fields outside of these majors, STEM workers can earn higher wages. On average, 65 percent of those who hold a bachelor’s degree in such fields will earn more than those who hold master’s degrees in other subjects. Among those with associate’s degrees in the science and technical fields, 63 percent earn more than those who hold bachelor’s degrees in other subjects.
―I’m used to thinki ng of liberal arts as the foundational degree that gives you lots of choices in a career,‖ Mr. Carnevale said. Increasingly, he said, science, technology, engineering and math are important to a wide-ranging career. ―You get a bigger bump going in, and alm ost at every stage you have other choice s,‖ he said.
But don’t count philosophy or literature out, either. Mr. Carnevale said that in surveys of employers, one of the biggest complaints about technical workers is that they ―can’t talk and can’t write a mem o and have horrible interpersonal skills.‖ So maybe the best course of study is a double major.
41.According to the report, which is the fastest growing occupational group?
A. Education
B. Health care
C. Science
D. Accounting
42.What do many technology and scientific companies do in the USA because of a shortage of STEM workers?
A. They .plan to train STEM workers by themselves.
B. They hire STEM workers from foreign countries.
C. They persuade colleges to train more STEM workers.
D. They want to give up hiring STEM workers .
43. We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. A science degree is gaining a rising value.
B. Everyone should major in science, technology, engineering or math.
C. People with a science degree will have the best future.
D. Most people with a science degree go into related fields.
44. Mr. Carnevale believes that ________.
A. philosophy and literature are not so important for people with science degree
B. employers focus only on workers practical skills in related fields
C. employers pay little attention to technical workers’ interpersonal skills
D. people with science degree will have other choices in their career
45.What is purpose of this passage?
A. To persuade.
B. To educate.
C. To inform.
D. To advise.

With 75.5 million students enrolled in school in the U.S., 3.6 million tons of waste are produced by U.S. colleges and universities alone each year. Most of this waste comes from paper and more than half of the waste produced could be recycled, but instead winds up in the trash. The second biggest waste product that comes from schools is food waste. A single elementary school in the U.S. produces about 13,360 pounds of food waste. In a close third, is the energy that schools waste – about $1.5 billion is wasted every year by leaving the air conditioning, heating, and lights on when nobody is there!
Use simple and easy ways to stop contributing to your school's waste. You can't change it all, but change what you can. It does make a difference. For example, there are so many energy efficient ways to get to school. Since most of us live close to the school we go to or send our children to, ride a bike to get there or walk. You get a little exercise and save almost 100,000 gallons of gas per day. You can also take the bus.

From the passage we can know that there is a serious problem of wasting energy in schools in the U.S . The author also gives suggestion to stop this phenomenon.
In our daily life, we can see that people waste many recourses. For example, people order more food than they can eat. People go out without turning off the electricity and water, and so on.
There is no denying that wasting recourse is harmful. Many students get into the bad habit of wasting recourse and lack the sense of environmental awareness. It is bad for the development of themselves. What's worse, if these continue, we will have not enough energy in the future.
As a student, I will try my best to make contributions to save energy in my daily life. First, I would start from doing some small things, such as collecting used items for recycling, turning off the lights, and saving water. More importantly, I will educate my schoolmates to save energy.

卷一： 真题：中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。 土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。 土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(OXford)英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。 参考答案： The Chinese heated words usually reflect social changes and culture, some o f which are increasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, forexa mple, are both old words, but they get differentmeanings now. The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money withoutlimits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. T heword dama is used to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarde d as a special wordto call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase gol d when th e gold price decreasedsharply not long ago. Tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, ab out 120 Chinesewords have been added to it, becoming a part of English lang uage. 卷二： 最近中国科学院(Chinese Academy of Science )出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一 年展望的年度系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告，高技术发展报告，中国可持续战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域，如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。 Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its latest scientific findings and the prospect of the next year. The report consists of three parts: science development, more advanced technology development and the sustainable strategy of China. The first one includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of new particle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus. Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next few years. The second one announces some heated fields in applied science. For example, the 3-dimension print and the study of human organs. The third one suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the energy-saving and emission-reduction. 卷三： 北京计划未来三年投资7600亿元治理污染，从减少pm2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划
Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American. 49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay. “To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores. 思路： 1.大致介绍文章主要内容 2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词
05 It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one's impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served to much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe .The Europe that is now forming cannot be anything other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. (47) In Europe, as elsewhere multi-media groups have been increasingly successful groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian example would be the Berlusconi group while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind. Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete complete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. (48) This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989. Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution. (49) Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice - that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own. In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank will handle the finances necessary for production costs. (50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say "Unity we stand, divided we fall" -and if I had to choose a slogan it would be "Unity in our diversity." A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。
2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源：今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》)，是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律，往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译，内容相对于阅读而言，相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言，有些难懂。 二、难度：5句话共151词，相当平稳。其中48题最长，35词;50题最简单，24词。可以说，不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分，不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点：今年的5句话中，有2句(46，48)是简单句，另外3句(47，49，50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译，并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以，中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中，定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解： 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组：out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉)，by its nature(就其本质而言，从本质来说)，uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析：整个句子是一个简单句，由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语，修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语，修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语，修饰character and destiny。 参考译文：这项运动，由多种强大的动机驱动，建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家，并且从本质上来讲，塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组：product(产物)，principal(主要的;首要的)，peoples(民族)，impact(影响) 结构分析：句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces，破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语，修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语，修饰impact，其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits，修饰country。 参考译文：美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民，和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组：peculiar(特有的，独特的)，interplay(互相影响)，sheer(独特的) 结构分析：整个句子是简单句，主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担，谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中，of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置

2014.12.1st 反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道家对自然地感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题，一是家庭生活的各种幸福场景，画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶，男人在耕耘收割，妇女在织布缝衣，小孩在户外玩耍。另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣，画有渔夫在湖上打渔，农夫在山上砍柴采药，或是书生坐在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家和道家的生活理想。 Rural life ideals reflected in Chinese arts and literature is an important feature of Chinese civilization. This is largely attributed to feelings of Taoism to the nature. There are two most popular themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One is various scenes of happy family life with the elderly drinking teas and playing chess, men plowing and harvesting, women sewing and weaving, or children playing outdoors. The other is a variety of fun in rural life with a fisherman fishing on the lake, farmers cutting firewood or collecting medicinal herbs, scholars reciting poems or painting pictures under a pine tree. These two themes represent separately Confucian and Taoist ideal life.
