参考译文：
As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has a splendid culture of more than 5,000 years.
Respecting the old and caring for the young is a traditional Chinese virtue. As early as the Han
Dynasty, the government issued laws many times to advocate and reward behavior relating to
treating the old with filial respect. The Chinese people treat their offspring with love, kindness and
strictness, embodying a strong sense of moral responsibility. The tradition of respecting the old
and taking care of the young has been carried forward in modern times. At present, the old and the
young in China have their own legal holidays—Elders’ Day and Children’s Day. Besides, the
government has issued specific laws to protect women and children; and some laws also stipulate
in explicit terms that Chinese citizens have obligations to support parents and rear children.

are a secure investment because these bonds have the financial backing and full
faith and credit of the federal government. Municipal bonds, also secure, are
offered by local governments and often have 36 such as tax-free interest. Some
may even be 37 . Corporate bonds are a bit more risky.
