解析：
2. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the proverb Knowledge makes us humble, ignorance makes us proud. You can give an example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
（分数： 2.00 ）
正确答案： （ 正确答案： On Knowledge and Virtue As the well-known proverb goes, Knowledge makes us
humble, ignorance makes us proud. This proverb reveals that people with much knowledge tend to be humbler, while those who are ignorant tend to be more arrogant. I can't agree with this proverb any more. Indeed, the phenomenon as described in the proverb is fairly common in our daily life. How does this phenomenon appear? On the one hand, people with much knowledge tend to keep learning all their life. They try their best to make progress and never give up absorbing new ideas throughout their life. Just as the old saying goes, One is never too old to learn. On the other hand, the ignorant are accustomed to being self-righteous and arrogant. Their pride clouds their vision, which makes them remain stagnant. They think themselves know everything and speak loudly among people everywhere. But if we make a detailed inquiry, we may find that they know nothing at all. All in all, we should keep learning all the time. Never be proud with arrogance, or we will come to a standstill one day.） 解析：
