* Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years
In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons
This is not their primary aim In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese
cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West
to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius‟s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.”
36 Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons ?
A Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness B Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness
C Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism D Originality, freshness, and astonishment
