【正确答案】 1、正确答案：I returned to my hometown during the National Day holiday. Along the Yellow River stood my village, where more and more village folks were driving cars. Although their appearances had not changed much, I was excited to see them own cars, each of which cost over 200, 000 yuan. However, my excitement disappeared when I learned about two incidents from a chat on the street. The first one happened in the neighboring village, where a man was killed in his home by three brothers from the same village. The story began with a dispute over the land rents. A local bully wanted to lease land from a villager, but the owner was unwilling to accept the low price offered. So the bully hired someone to beat up the owner and threatened that killing him was nothing but a couple of ten thousand yuan. The enraged owner then garnered the support from his two brothers. Hence the murder, and four shattered families. The second incident took place in my own village. One of our village folks needed to drive through the neighbor"s field to harvest corn. The neighbor, an old granny, refused as that would crush her crops. As the argument escalated into a quarrel, the old lady lay down on the ground and challenged, " If you want to pass, drive over my body! " And so did the driver. The case was settled for a couple of ten thousand yuan. While I was young, the village was so safe that we need not shut the doors at night. When I came back from school and occasionally there was no one home, the aunty next door would always invited me to her place for a meal. Everything seemed so natural. During the harvest seasons, when we asked our neighbours for help, the appreciation was a simple meal accompanied by a hearty chat. Now, attitudes and values towards life in the village have undergone tremendous changes. We all know that our government is developing the rural areas in full force. And I am looking forward to a better life in my hometown. But the incidents set me thinking: Should we do more to instruct and guide people in accordance to cultural values?
