There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace .Many artists tried.The king looked at all the pictures .But there were only two he really liked,and he had to choose between them.One picture was of a calm lake .The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it .Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds.All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains,too.But they were rugged(崎岖的）and bare(光秃秃的）。Above them was an angry sky ,from which rain fell and in which lightning (闪电）played .Down the side of the mountain tumbled (跌下）a waterfall .This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely ,he saw behind the waterfall a small bush growing in the rock .In the bush a bird had built her nest(巢）.There,in the middle of the angry water ,sat the bird on her nest—in perfect peace .

Which picture do you think won the prize ?The king chose the second picture .Do you know why?“Because ,”explained the king .“peace does not mean being in a place where there is no noise,trouble ,or hard work.Peace means being the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart.That is the real meaning of peace.

As we know ,there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture.We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used.Let’s look at the words about animals and plants .Most expressions in Chinese about the dog,for example,“a homeless dog”，“a mad dog”,“a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”,have negative(消极的）meanings.But in western countries,dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans.In English,people use the dog to describe positive(积极的）actions.For example,“you are a lucky dog ”mens you are a lucky person.And “Every dog has its day .”means each person has good luck sometimes .To describe a person’s serious illness,they say “sick as a dog”.The word “dog-tired”means very tired.However ,Chinese love cats very much.But in western culture,“cat”is often used to describe a woman who is cruel .There are many other examples of how “cat”is used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries.People think the rose stands for (代表）love,peace,courage and friendship .And the rose is the national flower of England,American and many other countries.
