I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong． Coming from cold and cloudy England， I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T﹣shirt and a short skirt． Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK， my legs were very white．In the UK，this is not a fashionablelook at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin．The darker the skin is，the better the look is．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

As I walked around one shop， two shop girls didn't take their eyes off me the whole time， talking quietly to each other in Chinese． I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop， she asked me what was wrong． I complained（抱怨） about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs． I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin．My friend laughed，" they weren't laughing at you． They were saying how nice your legs are． Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours． In fact， there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them．"

It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have． The grass is always greener on other side． If the woman of the west and east thought the same way， western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter．

Traditional Chinese culture is catching the world's eyes． The good traditional Chinese culture is our great treasure． President Xi Jinping says we should have a high of culture confidence． There are so many great works in the course of Chinese history such as Di Zi Gui，Lun Yu，Meng Zi and so on． Xi Jinping and other leaders often borrow some wonderful sentences from them． Dao De Jing is also one of them．

It is widely believed that Lao zi， a famous Chinese philosopher and the founder of Taoism， was the writer of Dao De Jing．There are only 5000 characters in the book， but it is considered as one of the oldest and most important philosophy books of ancient China．It includes two parts， Dao and De．

Dao means "the Way"． It doesn't tell us how to choose the right way， but it really shows that one should act through naturalness and non﹣action．

Naturalness refers to a natural state of being， an attitude of following the way of nature．Lao Zi thought that everything in the world has its own way of being and developing．Birds fly in the sky；Tigers live in the forest； Fish swim in the water； Flowers bloom and flowers fall． He gave advice to the people who have strong feelings to control the world． He said they should give up the desires （欲望）．

Non﹣action （无为） does not mean that one should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved． What he meant is that human should follow the way of nature and try not to break the rule of nature．

De means"Virtue（德行）"． Lao zi thought the great virtue is like water．And he thinks nothing in the world is weaker than water， yet nothing is stronger than water when it comes． It can nearly destroy everything strong． In ancient China， there is also a saying， water can hold the boat， it can also make the boat tum upside down． Water is a typical （典型的） example of the weak beating the strong．

Of course， there are many other wonderful things we can learn from the book． Today， Dao de Jing still plays a role in the development of Chinese thoughts． It is becoming more and more popular with people around the world．

B．	Because Lao zi thought nothing in the world is weaker than water．

D．	Because water can hold the boat．

B．	We should choose the right way to success．
