As a traveller,businessman,and owner of the Linden Center Hotel,sixty-year-old American Brian Linden has lived in the village in South China's Yunnan province for nearly twenty years.He now thinks of himself as one of the"cool new Dali people".
    Brian was born in Chicago,the USA.He first visited China in 1984.He got a scholarship(獎學(xué)金) from the Chinese government and came to study in Beijing.During his stay,he showed great interest in Chinese culture and would love to be its communicator(交流者).
    After working and traveling in over a hundred countries,he gave up his job in the US,sold his house,moved to China with his wife and two sons in 2004.He wanted to find a place and create a new lifestyle.After a tour around China,Brian and his wife at last decided to live in Xizhou,a small town not far from Dali.
    "I'm a fan of China's traditional(傳統(tǒng)的) buildings.Xizhou is a beautiful town with hundreds of old buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties.Traditions here remain as alive as ever,and the local people treat me like family,"said Brian.
    It cost Brian all his money to turn a Bai style house into a hotel for foreign tourists.Of course,the Dali government helped him a lot.Now the house is famous as the Linden Center Hotel.It offers international education programmes to European and American schools.It also opens 50% of its space to the public.This gives a place for more people to communicate with the villagers.It offers free English classes to villagers once a week.
    When talking about his future(未來),Brian said that he plans to do more to share with the world the beauty of China."We want to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China.I hope that through my hard work,more and more people will fall in love with China."

  • 菁優(yōu)網(wǎng)1.Being talented is not enough There is a story in the book History as a Mirror by Chinese historian Sima Guang.
       Zhi Xuanzi was the head of Zhi,a big family of Jin during the late Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).He wanted a man named Zhi Yao to be the head of the family.
       However,another man in the family,named Zhi Guo,was against the idea.Zhi Guo said Zhi Yao was good at many things.For example,he was good at riding and shooting.He was decisive and talkative.But Zhi Guo pointed out that he had a big moral weakness(道德上的缺點(diǎn))-he was unkind.
       Still,Zhi Xuanzi didn't agree.Zhi Yao became the head of the family.He quickly made the Zhi family the strongest in Jin.However,because of his aggressive style(咄咄逼人的風(fēng)格),three other families worked together to fight against the Zhi family.Finally,the Zhi family was beaten.
       Sima Guang used this story to talk about how important virtue(德行)is.Talent is not enough.Excellent people must have both talent and virtue.
    菁優(yōu)網(wǎng) If a person has virtue but no talent,he or she might work inefficiently(低效).If a person has talent but no virtue,he or she might go in the wrong direction.Having both talent and virtue has been a common pursuit for people in China.Those who have both were called xiancai(賢才)in ancient times.If you ask which one is more important between the two,it must be virtue.Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track(走對路).

    (1)Who wrote the book History as a Mirror?
    .
    (2)When and where did the story happen?
    .
    (3)What was Zhi Yao's weakness?
    .
