* Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all
these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a
good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious

purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years.
In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays
cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a
variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in
the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing
education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all
appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus
served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do
not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese
cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible
among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They
offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the
particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old
Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France,
America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West
to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West.
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of  
