I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The Oxford English Dictionary (OED, ) is thinking of adding the Chinese word tuhao to its 2014 edition . The word has become popular in China during the past few months to describe newly rich people who spend money in extravagant(,)ways. Tuhao has in Western countries, too, to describe similar people in their countries. The adoption of the word by foreign countries is an example of China's spreading influence in the world not just economically, but also socially and culturally. People are paying attention to what is happening in China and are picking up some Chinese words in the process, especially those words that express unique Chinese ideas that cannot be easily translated into English. The OED is also thinking of adding hukou and dama to the already 120 Chinese words in its dictionary. Hukou refers to China's system of residency permits and dama refers to middle-aged Chinese women whose gold buying habits influence the global gold markets. The news that the OED was adding these words has met with some criticism . Some people say the words embarrass China, but others insist that in a globalized society it's natural for words to spread and be adopted elsewhere. In fact, a word like tuhao expresses the humor of China. It's easy to pronounce and very accurate at poking fun at rich people who have more money than taste. Question: _ may be adopted in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014 according to the passage. Options: A: Tuhao B: Hukou C: Dama D: All above

Christmas Day is very popular in China, especially for young people. Should Chinese people celebrate Christmas Day? 60% people think that we should not take Christmas so seriously, 10% think everyone should celebrate Christmas. Some people think celebrating Christmas Day can help them understand western culture better. Some people think it is a great holiday to have a good time with their families and friends.
