Question

A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China---“tuhao”     56    loosely translated means new rich. There    57    (be) more than 100 million references to the word “tuhao” on social media since early September this year.

It's being used to describe    58    from the new People's Daily building to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling-bling （惹人注目的昂贵首饰） and the new gold-coloured iPhone.

In Chinese “tu” means earth and “hao” means rich. To say someone is a tuhao is to imply they come    59   a poor peasant background and have made it rich quick but don't quite have the manners or taste to go along with it. It's    60    the term new rich but has even more negative meaning suggesting a certain vulgarity( 庸俗 ).

This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich

but   61    (happy) man. He goes to a Buddhist monk for advice and expects to    62   (tell) to live a more simple life. But the monk replies instead with the phrase: "Tuhao let's be friends!"

Chinese Internet users are highly   63   (create) in their use of language and are constantly inventing and re-inventing words for better expressions of some social phenomena. In this case the popularity of the word “tuhao” seems to reflect the fact   64     in current Chinese society many people laugh at    65    with wealth but are secretly jealous.
