Module 5 Great People and Great Inventions of Ancient China Period 3 Grammar. 阅读理解Born in the County, Anhui Province, Tao Xingzhi(October 18, 1891July 25, 1946)was one of the greatest educationalists, social activists and patriots in modern China. When he was young, Tao lived in a poverty-stricken area and had witnessed miserable life of Chinese people, especially that of the peasants who accounted for 80% of the nations population, under the suppression of foreign invaders at that time. After graduating from Nanjing University as the top student with the highest scores in all courses, Tao set out for the US to further his education. At first, he studied politics in University of Illinois but soon he found that politics offered no help for saving the country, and then he changed his major into education. Six-year experience abroad let Tao Xingzhi come to realize the sharp contrast between China and developed countries, and drove him to make up his mind to change the situation in China. Tao declined a number of invitations from many famous universities and gave up high salaries as a college professor. Instead, he established Xiaozhuang Normal School in the suburb of Nanjing to develop educational cause in rural areas. When he returned to China from Japan in 1939, Tao established Yu Cai School in Sichuan Province for the kids who lost their family in Sino-Japanese War. He picked out those with special talents and trained them to be useful men for the nation. Zhou Enlai, former Chinese premier, once paid a visit to this school and gave a high praise. As an educationalist, Tao devoted his entire life to the educational cause for Chinese. Quite different from other mainstream educationalists at that time, Tao emphasized life education and advocated that“life education means an education of life, by life and for life”. Because of overtoil(积劳成疾), he died on July 25, 1946 in Shanghai. Chairman Mao praised him as“a great educationalist for the people”. In memory of this great man, Tao Xingzhi Museum was built in Shanghai in 1986. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇人物传记, 介绍我国杰出的人民教育家、社会活动家和爱国主义者陶行知先生一生对中国的教育尤其是对普通民众的教育所作出的伟大贡献。1.
