Answer the following questions based on the above passage.1）Benevolence. In a broader sense “benevolence” covered respect, generosity, trustworthiness, kindness, intelligence, wisdom, courage, loyalty, consideration and filialness.2) The reason why Confucianism was dominant was it conformed to needs of the ruling class. It presented a utopian world for both the ruling class and the common people.3) Confucianism stressed five constant virtues, namely benevolence (ren), righteousness (yi), propriety (li), wisdom (zhi) and fidelity (xin) as basic ethical codes.4) According to Confucianism, women had to obey absolutely their fathers when they were not married, to obey their husbands absolutely after in the wedlock and to obey absolutely their sons in their widowhood.5) Morality, proper speech, modest manner and diligent work were basic virtues women ought to have.6) The five basic human relations refer to the relations between “father and son, monarch and officials, husband and wife, elder brother and younger brother, and friends”.7) The ten aspects of righteousness meant that “Father should be loving and son filial; the elder brother should be good and the younger respectful; the husband should be righteous and wife obedient; the senior should be kind and the junior humble; the monarch should be benevolent and the officials loyal, which stressed the mutual rights and obligations of the ten parties”.8) Goodness means to show concern to every one. At the same time, assistance to other people should be sincere. To the ruling party, Goodness means to treat the common people as human beings rather than with utter disregard for human life.9) There is no private property and all facilities are for public use. Every one is put in the right place so that they can do their best. Officials elected are noble and competent. Common people give full play to their abilities and make a valid contribution to society. In such a world, people show consideration for each other and every one lives a happy life. The young get a proper education; the elderly are well looked after; widowers, widows, orphans and the childless can be equally cared for. Society maintains stability and prosperity without theft, robbery or war. So far we can see that the benevolence Confucius refers to is actually fraternity. Heaven and earth are parents, all human beings are sisters and brothers.

Section D Supplementary Reading Task 1. Translation:(1) 君子就是任何可以代表仁德品格的儒雅之士，他们对于祖先、家庭和上天也奉行孝道，谨守礼仪，严守传统。在一般人的想象中，君子总是留着白色胡须，穿着质量不错的衣衫，甚至留着长长的指甲。孔子奉行的儒家学说可以被看做是一种政治和政府被视为伦理道德和传统延伸的哲学。只要统治者是仁德的，政府就自然而然会为了人民的福祉而运作。(2) 他相信理想的社会是可以通过仁政来实现的，这样的社会里面，人人都仁善并且拥高尚道德情操。孟子非常关注政府、法规和命令体系的运作和功能，强调一切应该以国家的稳定和仁爱的精神为重心。仁政的原则要求所有的政治行为都是人性化的，并且以人民的利益为出发点。孟子相信一个（好的）政府应该使得它的一切子民拥有一定量的财产，比如土地、房屋，而且不用缴纳太多税款，这样他们能够丰衣足食地过着舒适的生活。(3) 孟子眼中的“士”是历代仁人志士追求的目标，但理想与现实毕竟存在着差距。纵观古今.士林中虽有很多“富贵不能淫，贫贱不能，威武不能屈”的大丈夫但也不乏趋炎附势、卑鄙无耻之徒。因此孟子与同时代的思想家荀子将“士”划分为“仰禄之士”和“正身之士”，认为“仰禄之士”一旦步入官场宦海，便无独立人格可言；只有那些不为名利所动的正身之士“才称得上正人君子.(4) 处世做人,贵在有德;与人相处，贵在以德待人。中国人的所谓“处世”,首先是要“做人”，故“为人处世”不可分割。“做人”即是立身处世。而“做人的要义在于，人的行为必须合乎应该具有的道德规范做，做人就是以德律己，以道德待人。中国传统处世之道的尚德倾向，还表现在强调主张人际之间
