{{I}} Read the following text carefully and then translate the
underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on
ANSWER SHEET 2.{{/I}} Our own culture seems very
natural to us. {{U}}58. We feel in our hearts that the way that we do things is
the only right way to do them. Other people's cultures often make us laugh or
feel disgusted or shocked.{{/U}} We may laugh at clothing that seems ridiculous to
us. Many people think that eating octopus or a juicy red piece of roast beef is
disgusting. The idea that a man can have more than one wife or that brothers and
sisters can marry each other may shock other cultures. Ideas of
what is beautiful differ from one culture to another. {{U}}59. The Flathead
Indians of North America used to bind the heads of babies between boards so they
would have long sloping foreheads. In the Flathead culture, long sloping
foreheads were beautiful. Other cultures might think that they are
strange-looking and unattractive{{/U}}. A tirbe of Peruvian Indians shaped their
children's skulls into tall, narrow, domes. The Chinese used to bind women's
feet because they regarded small feet as beautiful. (These small feet were also
a sign that the husband was wealthy. Because the women could not walk very well,
they could not do much housework, and so the small feet showed that the husband
could afford to have many servants. {{U}}60. Many people cut scars into their
bodies or tattoo themselves so that others in their culture will think they are
beautiful. Objects are inserted in holes in the nose, lips, and ears in a number
of different cultures{{/U}}. In many twentieth-century societies, rouge, lipstick,
eye shadow, perfume, and hair spray are all used to increase
attractiveness. When people die, different cultures dispose of
their bodies in different ways. Sometimes bodies are burned. Sometimes bodies
are buried in the ground. {{U}}61. In many cultures in the past, people were
buried with food, weapons, jewelry, and other things that might be useful in the
next life. For example, the ancient Egyptians buried people with little human
figures made from clay. These clay figures were supposed to work for the dead
person in the other world{{/U}}. A religious group called the Parsees exposed
their dead bodies on platforms for birds to eat. Some people practice a second
burial. After the bodies have been in the earth for several years, the bones are
dug up and reburied, sometimes in a smaller container. These
are just a few of the many different customs that are found in different
cultures. {{U}}62. Most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of
different cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different
people do the same things in different ways.{{/U}}
