问题许多经常接触中国的外国人都对中国人勤勉的品格有着深刻的体会。许多西方人都承认在勤奋刻苦方面不敌中国人。一些外国人到中国后发现，中国人加班十分普遍，留给自己的时间则少之又少。中国人为什么会这样勤劳呢?中国传统的社会是以农为主的社会，小农经济比重最大。由于土地有限，人们获得财富主要靠日出而作、日落而息的辛勤劳动。在这种经济模式下，勤奋是必然的，否则会饿肚子。中国古代社会还有一部分人是靠商业获得财富。虽然社会离不开商业，但是，重农轻商的传统思想下商人的社会地位不高，一夜暴富的大商人往往被人看不起。总的来说，中国传统社会不管是占人口大多数的农民，还是占少数的商人，大都必须一点点地积累财富。可以说，中国人的勤劳是长久以来独特的自然环境和社会环境造成的。

选项

答案 A lot of foreigners who have frequently contact with the Chinese are deeply impressed by their diligence. It is acknowledged by quite a number of westerners that they themselves are less assiduous than their Chinese counterparts. Those who have come to China find it common for the Chinese to work extra hours with little time left for their personal life. How come that the Chinese are so diligent? It is because the traditional Chinese society was dominated by agriculture, small-scale peasant economy being the major form. As the arable land was limited, working from dawn to dusk became the primary way for most people to acquire wealth. It was diligence that kept a person from starving under this economic pattern. Although there were some people who acquired much fortune by engaging in business, and commerce was actually essential for the development of a society, businessmen still suffered discrimination due to the traditional thought of "valuing agriculture while despising commerce". Businessmen who made great fortune overnight tended to be looked down upon. In general, both peasants who accounted for the majority of population in traditional Chinese society, and businessmen who were the minority, had to accumulate wealth bit by bit. It can be concluded that the diligence of Chinese people has been the product of both its unique natural and social environment.
