Questions 61 -65 are based on the following reading passage. The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 61 - 65, you are required to recognize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box. Paragraph 1 and paragraph 5 have been placed for you in Boxes.
A. To begin with, moral values in America are like those in any culture. In fact, many aspects of morality are universal. But the stories and traditions that teach them are unique to each culture. Not only that, but also culture influences how people show these virtues.
B. Do Americans have any morals? That’s a good question. Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions. Some voices, though, are calling Americans back to traditional moral values. William J. Bennett, former U. S. Secretary of Education, edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do just that. Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character. The success of Bennett’s book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. But what are they?
C. Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, "I think I can, I think I can. " At last, the train was over the top of the hill. "I thought I could, I thought I could," chugged the happy little train.
D. One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet. When his father asked him about it, George said, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet. " Instead of punishment, George received praise for telling the truth. Sometimes American honesty—being open and direct—can offend people. But Americans still believe that "honesty is the best policy. "
E. In no way can this brief description cover all the moral values honored by Americans. Courage, responsibility, loyalty, gratitude and many others could be discussed. In fact, Bennett’s best seller—over 800 pages—highlights just 10 virtues. Even Bennett admits that he has only scratched the surface. But no matter how long or short the list, moral values are invaluable. They are the foundation of American culture and any culture.
F. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In the fall of 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.
G. Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of "The Good Samaritan" from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need.

中国历代统治者对户口的管理都极为重视,他们将户口多寡作为国力盛衰与社会治乱的标志,建立了从中央至州、县、乡的完备户籍管理体系。但究其原因,是将户籍作为调派劳役、征收赋税的主要依据,以此维护建立在小农经济基础上的特权。这是一种源远流长的文化烙印,纵使历史的车
