32、f the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature and also a well-known legend and myth throughout East Asia,es 1in China, and among Chinese throughout the world. The novel has been immensely popular in China for over 400 years due to its fresh and complicated plots, distinctive and life-like
33、characters, profound ideological content, and light-hearted style. The historical background to the novel is asfol 2: In the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang(602664)traveled alone through Central Asia to the land of Tianzhu(present-day India)to seek original Buddhi
34、st scriptures. The journey covered thousands of miles and took 17 years, and Xuanzang passed through 138 states, writing a brilliant page not only in the history of Buddhist culture but also in the history of Sino- 3cultural exchange. All kinds of stories about hisque 4for the scriptures soon circul
35、ated among the people, and with the passage of 5and the gradual spread of these stories, they acquired a more and more mythical color. In this novel a total of 87 chapters are dedicated 6 the story of the Tang priest Xuanzangs adventure. Although he is helpless when it comes to defending himself, th
36、e bodhisattva Guanyin helps by finding him three disciples of superhuman ability, who aid and protect him on his journey. In return, the disciples will receive 7(enlighten)and forgiveness for their sins once the journey is done. Along the way, they help the local inhabitants by defeating various mon
37、sters. The fact that most of the monsters and demons are trying to obtain 8(immortal)by eating Xuanzangs flesh, and are even attracted to him as he is depicted as quitehan 9, provides much of the plot in the story. This epic story is a captivating read: Spiritual and religious themes underlie the st

39、ection A_London, EnglandVirtually every country in Europe is in an immigration mess. Governments are trying to balance the concerns of their citizens, their countrys economic problems, and the humanitarian needs of immigrants. Native-born Europeans are worrying that their cultures and economies are
40、being harmed by immigrants. Meanwhile, the immigrants keep coming. Some come looking for asylum because of racial, religious, or political oppression in their native lands. Others are trying to escape grinding poverty or war at home. With fifteen million people unemployed in the European Union(EU)al
41、one, outsiders are often resented. Some people fear that asylum seekers are too expensive for the EUs social welfare systems. Others are worried that economic migrants may take their jobs. Still others worry about the weakening of traditional local cultures in places where there are large numbers of
42、 immigrants. Right-wing parties in Austria, Denmark and Belgium have successfully campaigned against immigration , using fear of the loss of national identity. Meanwhile, criminals are making money on the desperation of would-be immigrants. People-smuggling has become a highly organized and profitab
43、le business. Because smugglers care little for the people they are transporting, tragedies sometimes result. Even if they survive the trip, illegals are often mistreated in sweatshops, where they work for much less than normal wages in terrible conditions. Some of them spend decades paying back the
44、transportation fees. Women and children are sometimes forced into sex slavery and prostitution. To make matters even more confusing, there is another side to immigration. Many European countries have a shortage of skilled workers in areas like information technology. “We need immigration,“ declared
45、German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder recently. Barbara Roche, the UKs immigration minister, has made it easier for non-British students to stay. “In the past we have thought purely about immigration control,“ she said. “Now we need to think about immigration management. “ High-tech workers are not the only ones who are needed.
