答案
I think it is optimism. Beacuse optimistic people have a positive outlook on life.(开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可。)
Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac sign, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 1 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 2 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person's success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.
However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to 3 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 4 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 5.
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor's feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 6. Then, as Horse and Goat were both 7 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Some people wonder 8 the cat isn't one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox's back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn't 9 the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 10 in our daily lives.
The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it's made up, it's definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!
