A
When I paid for my bicycle repair, the repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We're friends.”
“I'd rather pay，”I replied.“If it's free, I can't afford it！”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We're friends now！” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I'd have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, “There's no free lunch，” meaning that there's a price for everything, and I'm always looking around to figure out what this means.
Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him.“Wait until you have something major to fix！” he insists.
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money.But cash can't make up for the greatest gift—friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.”
“Actually, ” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you're right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I！”
2
And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocketsized when you came here.Now they're taller than you.How time flies！”
How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they
cannot keep. They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge.We're friends！” I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I'll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there's still no free lunch.
16．Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?
A．Because he was an upright man.
B．Because he didn't know the repairman.
C．Because he thought it natural to pay for other's service. D．Because he didn't want to help others in return. 17．Generally, the author thinks that ________.
A．Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends B．Chinese are good at the exchange of equal values
C．Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends D．Chinese are helpful but don't treasure time
18．The best title for the passage should be “________”． A．Still No Free Lunch
B．A Good Lesson from Chinese C．True Help or Not
D．Learn to Both Give and Receive 19．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．All the Chinese help foreigners on purpose. B．Chinese like to ask for help.
C．The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.
D．The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.

In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology(MIT) said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.

MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes
materials from more than 2，000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online
courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.
