48.What is the most important quality of our traditions according to the passage? ( No more than 15 words )
阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
When I was young, I asked my grandmother, “Why is the sea so big?” She thought for a moment and replied, “Because he knows how to combine all the rivers”, smiling. Today, I can still recall that smile on my grandmother’s face because from that lesson, I have learned the importance ofintegration.
Kipling said, “East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met. They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in arts. Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West, but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our use so that we can enjoy the best of all worlds. This is our best tradition.

Reading Comprehension (22%)(A)Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time. He was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1924. He was named after his father, a salesman. His mother, Dorothy, was an actress in the local theater.Marlon Brando moved to New York City when he was 19 years old in 1943. He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research. One of his teachers was Stella Adler, who taught the "Method" style of realistic acting. The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories and emotions to identify with the characters they are playing.Marlon Brando learned the Method style quickly and easily. Critics said he was probably the greatest Method actor ever. One famous actress commented on his natural ability for it. She said teaching Marlon Brando the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.Marion Brando appeared in several plays. He got his first major part in a Broadway playin 1947, at the age of 23.

He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony.

His later life was marked with fami ly tragedies. His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene’s boyfriend. Cheyene later committed suicide. Brando became lonely.

Total plastic card use is expected to exceed £269 billion in 2014, just a whisker ahead of the predicted £268 billion for cash payments, said banking industry body the Association for Payment Clearing Services.The group, which represents the major banks, said credit cards had become “demonized”（魔鬼化）as one of the main causes of ballooning debts, but added: “Without plastic, our society would virtually stop .”Last year, the number of plastic cards in use in China grew by 13 million, or 9%, to 160million—the equivalent of 3.5 cards per adult.

In 2015 it is expected that personal plastic card usage alone will overtake cash payments,” said Chen.

Cash will always remain there for low-value payments.”Meanwhile, 2013 was the year that e-commerce “came of age” in the China. More than 18 million people bought goods or services online, up 50% in 2012. Credit cards accounted for 69% of the 200 million transactions, with debit cards mopping up most of the remainder.Last year was a landmark year for another reason一the first reduction in card fraud for eight years. Fraud losses on plastic cards fell by 5% to £402 million as measures to combat crooks started to take effect.A new generation of cards containing computer chips is being introduced, and by the end of this year most people making face-to-face purchases will have to type their four-digit Pin number into keypads at tills and will no longer have to sign receipts.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)68.
