* 1.概述 24.In the picture, a young man is talking with an elderly man who is sitting at the table with a book in his hand and looks very learned. The young man is bending his body listening to the elderly man with a big smile, thumbing to show his agreement and compliments to him. However, there is another picture in a bubble over the young man’s head: he has his arms crossed over his breast and his nose in the air, showing he complies with the elderly man in speech but disobeys in his heart. The problem with this young man is immodesty, which is fairly common among young people. Some of them have too high an opinion of themselves, totally ignoring other people’s, especially old people’s suggestions and advice, regarding them as being out of date. Consequently, their immodesty often drives them up against the wall. In fact, we should know no matter whom we are and no matter how talented we are, we are unlikely to be all powerful and the old people’s experience and advice are treasures in our life, which we should try our best to learn from. *
