The West begun to take more notice of the East. (西方国家开始越来越关注东方国家)The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.
In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?

Harrington Wilson's selling technique was 【C1】______ itself. It was nothing more than a 【C2】______ manipulation of human vanity. He was aware that there were a number of people who professed to know a great deal about antiques, and even more who would rather not confess that they did not and who accordingly practised little tricks and subterfuges to 【C3】______ their ignorance from their neighbors.
The women--they were mainly women--jostling round his stall, picking over his shoddy wares, would sometimes run a finger round the rim of a cup or hold it knowingly up to the light as if to test its luster, and plates were 【C4】______ turned upside down in search of china marks. To such a customer, Harrington would lean forward, benevolent and confidential, and in a conspiratorial whisper would murmur: "No, madam. I'm afraid it's not genuine (Wedgwood, Sevres--whatever it might be) but it is a superb copy--no one 【C5】______ ever suspect that it was not real, unless, of course, you told them. I can let you have it for—I could sell it for much more, but it would be unethical of me to try to pass it off as genuine..."
The customer, overwhelmed by such honesty and privately determined not to be quite so honest about the article to heir friends, would then willingly pay $ 2 for something that 【C6】______ Harrington a few pence. The profit 【C7】______ on these transactions was obviously so great that he was soon able to 【C8】______ another stall and then a shop and yet another and so on. He enlarged his specialties, dealing 【C9】______ spurious Victoriana, Georgian silver, trinkets and bric-a-brac, eventually branching out into reproduction furniture and paintings. Without any deliberate intention of doing so, he acquired an 【C10】______ knowledge of the antique business and as time went on, was accounted one of the greatest experts of his time.
【C1】______
A.simple
B.simplication
C.simplicity
D.simply
