EthnocentrismThe advertising campaign of D&G highlights the Italian brand's sense of "superiority." It portrays Chinese culture in a disrespectful and derogatory way. This is a typical sign of ethnocentrism and has hurt the feelings of Chinese people.Ethnocentrism refers to the behavior or belief that favors the nation, culture, or group to which one belongs, often accompanied by feelings of dislike for other groups. Influenced by ethnocentrism, one usually regards his or her own culture as "more appropriate, natural, correct and good" and regards other cultures as "inferior and abnormal." So ethnocentrism is very likely to lead to pride in one's own culture and prejudice against other cultures.(3) Ethnocentric people tend to identify with "out-group" people and judge them in a positive light.A True.B False.

Only 1% of the education budget is 69 spent on the oldest third of the population.The 70 include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in 71 , that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are 72 state pension age.“ 73 needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources 74 young people cannot meet the new 75 ,” says the report’s author, Professor Stephen McNair.

To Lease（租赁）or Not to LeasePlanning to lease a car because you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying．Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease a new Subaru Forester, you might pay 300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about 400 per month. Over a three- year lease, you would save 3,600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back．Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend 300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease, therefore, allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However whatever car you can afford to buy, you get to keep it, and it will always have resell or trade-in（以旧换新）value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over. Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage（里程）fees. In addition, when you lease, you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.By now, the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model you can afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no giving back, and that makes all the difference.People usually think leasing a car can save money.A、TrueB、falseC、Not Given
