问答题 Interlocutor:
I'm going to give you a picture and I'd like you to first describe it briefly, and then give your comment on what you see in the picture.
(Put Picture for Candidates in front of both candidates.)
【正确答案】Candidate A: From the picture, we can see that a man is painting the shadow of the tree on the ground. As a saying by Abraham Lincoln goes, character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. Today, there are many people who pay great attention to reputation, but forget to cultivate a good character. They try their best to get known by people, but if they really have a reputation, it will vanish soon, or even turn to a bad reputation. A good example in point is that nowadays, many people are spreading gossips about themselves or air sensational views to attract eyeballs. Their so-called reputation does come to them quickly, but it is short-lived and is only a reflection of their decayed character and blundering actions. Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, Candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question? (Half a minute for asking and answering the question.) Candidate B: How could we solve the social problems of seeking for fame? Candidate A: I think that is a task of education. The educational institutions should have for their object the formation of character, letting people understand that the world may take your reputation from you, but it cannot take your character. They should also teach people to pursuit self-identity through proper ways. In addition, the media should also be regulated to avoid fickle information.
