most people would say confucius (孔子). september 28th is his birthday. although he was born 2,562 years ago, people still remember him on this day.confucius lived in the kingdom of lu, part of todays shandong province. he lived during the spring and autumn period. his childhood was sad. his father died when he was only 3 and he had to work to help his mother. but young confucius didnt give up studying. he visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry (诗歌) and sports.later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in chinese history. at that time only children from noble (贵族) families could go to school, but confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. he had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. today, people still follow confucius lessons. he told us that everyone has something worthwhile to learn and to teach. when i am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some area. i select their good qualities and follow them. i take their bad qualities and change them in myself. he also taught us that thinking is very important to studying. all studying but no thinking makes people confused (困惑的) . all thinking but no studying makes people lazy. confucius was not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. his most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. a kind person should care for others. be strict with yourself, but be kind to others. he said.41. from paragraph 2, we can learn the following except _.a. confucius was born in a poor familyb. confucius mother was a learned womanc. confucius worked hard to realize his dreamd. confucius showed great interest in many fields42. in confucius opinion, everyone who _should go to school.a. is clever b. works hard c. is noble d. wants to learn43. according to the article, confucius would probably agree with the following except_.a. you should take care of yourself first and others laterb. when you learn something, youd better use your thinkingc. dont get angry easily with others, but try to be tolerant(宽容)d. a top student can learn something from a low-level studentbalice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the white rabbit anywhere.she tried to open the doors, but they were all locked(锁上). how will i ever get out again? she thought sadly. then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldnt open any. then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimeters high. the little gold key unlocked this door easily, but alice couldnt get through it- she was much too big. so she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers. “id like to be out there-not in this dark room. why cant i get smaller? it was already a very strange day, and alice was beginning to think that anything was possible. after a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. she put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. round the neck of the bottle was a pieceof paper with the words drink me in large letters. it can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles, she said. what will it do to me? she drank a little bit very slowly. the taste was very nice and very soon alice finished the bottle. i think im getting smaller and smaller every second. and she was. and now, she said happily, i can get through the little door into that beautiful garden. she ran at once to the door. then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. she ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! the key was high above her, on top of the table. she tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldnt do it.at last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. she opened it, and found a very small cake with the words eat me on it.nothing could surprise alice now.44. where did alice find the little gold key according to the story? a. in the garden. b. on the floor. c. in the glass box. d. on the glass table.45. we can learn that alice felt a little _from the underlined sentence. a. proud b. angry c. afraid d. excited46. what do you think alice will probably do at the end of the story? a. wait for the white rabbit. b. eat the small cake. c. climb up the table leg again. d. sit on the floor and cry.ca famous study was done in a school by a professor (教授) from a university. at the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. they were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. but the fact was that these students were only average (中等), and they were not the best students at all. well, guess what? at the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. what made these average students change so much to become top students? the only difference was the change in their teachers attitude (态度) . because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected (期待) more from them and so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. so they worked harder to do as well as they could. do you know? if you expect the best from people, theyll usually want to give you their best. a great leader said, treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and youll make him even worse. but treat a person like hes already a success, and youll help make the best he can be.like the true story of 7-year-old johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, johnny, youre the most terrible boy in this class. im sure youll never change. the next year johnny had a new teacher. and on the first day of class, she talked with johnny after school and said, johnny, ive heard a lot about you! but do you know that i dont believe a word of it? and every day after that, this new teacher treated johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when johnny did terrible things. later on, johnny became a school leader.47. the five average students became top students mainly because of _. a. the professors study b. the change in the professors attitude c. the teachers hard work d. the change in the teachers attitude48. why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old johnny? a. to show the importance of encouragement. b. to show that the boy was clever enough. c. to let us know the famous boy. d. to let us know how good his new teacher was.49. according to the story, we can learn that _. a. the research began at the end of the school year b. the students scored highest only because they worked hard c. if you expect the most from people, youll get the least d. little johnny like his new teacher very much50. what does the passage mainly tell us? a. if you want to get more, you should have new teachers. b.
