　　Living in an age when information explodes and the pace of life becomes increasingly rapid, people may gradually lose their rational thinking and judgment and tend to draw a hasty conclusion upon seeing or hearing something. However, what is seen or heard can be quite deceptive and misleading.

　　In fact, numerous examples can be enumerated in our daily life. For instance, beggars in rags that look miserable can be easily seen nowadays, but it turns out that many of them are professional ones and it is astonishing to learn they go to luxury shops after their “work” of the day, smartly dressed. Another case in point is like this: a mother came to her son with two apples, telling her son to choose one, but the son quickly took a bite of the both. Seeing this, we may regard this son as impious and selfish, but it turned out that he was checking which one was tastier and gave his mother the sweeter one.

　　From what has been discussed above, we may conclude that it is just unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something. Only by serious thinking, comprehensive analysis and objective judgments can we come up with more reliable conclusions.

　　Chinese hot words1 usually reflect social changes and culture2, and some of them are becoming increasingly popular in foreign media3. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they have gained new meanings.

　　Tuhao used to mean landlords in the countryside who oppress their tenants and servants, but now it refers to those who spend money without control or those who like to show off their wealth4. That is to say, a tuhao owns a lot of money but has no taste. Dama is used to describe middle-aged women, but now it refers specifically to5 those Chinese ladies who bought gold in bulk when gold price fell not long ago.

　　The words tuhao and dama may be included in the new edition of Oxford English Dictionary6. So far, about 120 Chinese words have been added to Oxford English Dictionary, becoming a part of the English language7
