At that time only children from noble 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 we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的)All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is 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 person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.24.

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didnt have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he couldhe huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm if it had not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild. Thats where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.28.

Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _.A. was very hardworking B. watched Grylls TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survival D. did the right things in the dangerous situationDTo help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead (铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children. Now, theres a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag,” Charles Schumer, a government official said. “Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix Super Markets from Florida to test them for lead. The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials. Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish. Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food. But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be freed.The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida. But publix has more than 1,000 stores across America. Publix says that its bags dont break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce (降低) the lead levels in them.The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead. People who are worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.32. What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags _.A. cant be reused B. are as bad as paper bagsC. are a waste of money D. can be a danger to people33. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “_”A. foods B. bags C. supermarkets D. officials34. Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when _.A. food is put in them B. the paint is separated from themC. they are put with other rubbish D. they are thrown away35. Whats the best title for the text?A. Look Out for Reusable Shopping Bags B. Time to Invent Greener Shopping BagsC. The effect of Shopping Bags D. The Return of Paper Bags第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Memorizing an essay is a great way to pass tests and increase your overall knowledge. 36 Here are some techniques to help you memorize an essay easily.37 Start early when you need to memorize something.
