The sources of anti-Christian feeling
were many and complex. On the more intangible side, there was a general pique
against the unwanted intrusion of the Western countries; there was an
understandable tendency to seek an external scapegoat for internal disorders
only tangentially attributable to the West and perhaps most important, there was
a virile tradition of ethnocentrism, vented long before against Indian Buddhism,
which, since the seventeenth century, focused on Western Christianity.
Accordingly, even before the missionary movement really got under may in the
mid-nineteenth century, it was already at a disadvantage. After 1860, as
missionary activity in the hinterland expanded, it quickly became apparent that
in addition to the intangibles, numerous tangible grounds for Chinese hostility
abounded. In part, the very presence of the missionary evoked
attack. They were, after all, the first foreigners to leave the treaty ports and
venture into the interior, and for a ling time they were virtually the only
foreigners whose quotidian labors carried them to the farthest reaches of the
Chinese empire. For many of the indigenous population, therefore, the missionary
stood as a uniquely visible symbol against which opposition to foreign intrusion
could be vented. In part, too, the missionary was attacked because the manner in
which he made his presence felt after 1860 seemed almost calculated to offend.
By indignantly waging battles against the notion that China was the sole
fountainhead of civilization and, more particularly, by his assault on many
facets of Chinese culture per se, the missionary directly undermined the
cultural hegemony of the gentry class. Also, in countless ways, he posed a
threat to the gentry's traditional monopoly of social leadership. Missionaries,
particularly Catholics, frequently assumed the garb of the Confucian literati.
They were only persons at the local level, aside from the gentry, who were
permitted to communicate with the authorities as social equals. And they enjoyed
an extraterritorial status in the interior that gave them greater immunity to
Chinese law than had ever been possessed by the gentry. Although
it was the avowed policy of the Chinese government after 1860 that the new
treaties were to be strictly adhered to, in practice implementation depended on
the wholehearted accord of provincial authorities. There is abundant evidence
that cooperation was dilatory. At the root of this lay the interactive nature of
ruler and ruled. In a severely understaffed bureaucracy that
ruled as much by suasion as by might, the official almost always a stranger in
the locality of his service, depended on the active cooperation of the local
gentry class. Energetic attempts to implement treaty provisions concerning
missionary activities, in direct defiance of gentry sentiment, ran the risk of
alienating this class and destroying future
effectiveness.

单选题{{B}}Passage One{{/B}}
We are all naturally attracted to
people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel
comfortable with people with physical qualities similar to ours.
You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to
behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy those we are close to or love or
admire, So a sportsman's individual, way of walking with raised shoulders is
imitated by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same
way; an employee finds him- self duplicating his boss' habit of wagging a pen
between his fingers while thinking. In every case, the influential person may
not consciously notice the imitation, but he will feel comfortable in its
presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he
finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to him.
Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all
their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without being aware
of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection
or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical
mirroring. The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer's
movements, tilting her head in the same way to judge a color match, or folding
her arms a few seconds after the customer, as though consciously attracted by
her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and
understands her needs--a promising relationship for a sale to take place. The
clever lawyer, trying in a law-court to influence a judge, imitates the great
man's shrugging of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his
speech. Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you
blink every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does,
your mirroring has become mockery and you can expect trouble. So, if you can't
model sympathetically, don't play the game.
