would be happy if he lived in the modern world. he would see his works and philosophies still popular among teenagers even though they speak internet slang (网络语言), like pk, plmm and gg.in changzhou no 2 middle school, jiangsu, all senior 1 students now take a course in lun yu (the analects of confucius, 论语), once a week. the school aims to improve students appreciation of the confucian heritage as well as ancient chinese civilization.students attendance in this course will account for 30 percent of their chinese score on the final exam. this reward encourages their interest in the course, which is difficult but full of wisdom, said cao yongzhong, a chinese teacher at the school.it wont be easy for students to enjoy the analects of confucius in ancient chinese as they have so many other subjects to learn and exams to prepare for.cheng yun, 17, didnt like the additional burden at first, but now it turns out to be a course that she looks forward to. i thought it would take up my time for homework, but it doesnt. confucius sentences are short and concise (精炼的). i even use some of his wise sayings in my compositions, which makes my writing more persuasive, cheng said.despite the fact that all students are required to learn some chapters of the book when in junior school, they may be too young to understand the truths revealed by confucius.although i prefer the language we use nowadays to confucius, the master said in the book does help me shape my personality, said zhang junzhuo, 17.here are some of confucius sayings. see if you can figure out to which sentences they are in the analects of confucious: learning without thought is labour lost; thought without learning is perilous. the superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. the gentle man is open and at ease; the mean man is full of worries and anxieties. dont do to others what you would not want done to yourself. the mechanic who wishes to do his work well must first sharpen his tools.59. which do you think is the best title for this passage?a. difficult but interesting b. “confucius says” into classesc. i appreciate lun yu d. the analects of confucius60. what does the phrase “account for” in paragraph 3 mean?a. to explain why something happens. b. to form a particular amount or part of something. c. to tell the number of something. d. to work out something.61. what can we infer from the passage?a. students can easily enjoy the ideas in lun yu.b. youll get 30 marks from learning lun yu. c. learning “lun yu” is an additional burden to students, as they have so many other subjects to learn and exams to prepare for.d. the no. 2 middle school stress that students should enjoy ancient chinese civilization.c dear kind-trustee-who-sends-orphans-to-college,here i am! i traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. its a funny feeling, isnt it? i never rode in one before.college is the biggest, most puzzling place i get lost whenever i leave my room. i will tell you more about it later when im feeling less confused; also i will tell you about my lessons. classes dont begin until monday morning, and this is saturday night. but i wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted(认识的).it seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you dont know. it seems strange for me to be writing letters at all ive never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.before leaving yesterday morning, mrs. lippett and i had a very serious talk. she told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. i must take care to be very respectful.but how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called john smith? why couldnt you have picked out a name with a little personality? i might as well write letters to dear flagpole or dear clothes-line.i have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though i had found a sort of family. it seems as though i belonged to somebody now, and its a very comfortable feeling. i must say, however, that when i think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. there are just three things that i know: i.you are tall. . you are rich. . you hate girls.i suppose i might call you dear mr. girl-hater. only thats rather rude to me. or dear mr. rich-man, but thats rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. besides, being rich is such a very external（外在的） quality. maybe you wont stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in wall street. but at least you will stay tall all your life! so ive decided to call you dear daddy-long-legs. i hope you wont mind. its just a private pet name we wont tell mrs. lippett.the ten oclock bell is going to ring in two minutes. our day is divided into sections by bells. we eat and sleep and study by bells. its very lifeful. there it goes! lights out. good night.observe how precisely i obey rules due to my training in the john grier home.yours most respectfully,jerusha abbottto mr. daddy-long-legs

feel _.a. too busyb. restricted by rulesc. pressed for timed. full of energy65. jerusha decided to call the trustee dear daddy-long-legs _. a. in order to show her respect for himb. because it was his only inner qualityc. in order to make them feel closer to each other d. because she had always
