课时梯级训练(十六)　Section Ⅴ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2023·芜湖高一检测)Confucius，a famous teacher，was a politician and thinker who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period.During his lifetime，he planted the seeds for China's transformation by teaching thousands of people.Today，he is thought to be one of the world's greatest teachers. Confucius grew up in a poor family.As he grew up，Confucius worked to help his mother earn money.When he wasn't working，he would read.His favorite thing to do was to learn.His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn.One day，rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops. Confucius did this until he was 30 years old，but he always wanted to do more.He didn't like the way rulers treated their subjects．He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was.Later，he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”．Confucianism states that by educating yourself，loving your family，and respecting tradition you could become a better person.Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self­discipline.For the rest of his life，Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self­discipline and the importance of education.He even opened China's first school to teach both the poor and the wealthy as equals.Although he became very famous among China's lower classes，the rulers of China never accepted his teachings.Eventually，his philosophy of self­discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace.Today，Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education，equality，and peace over war，money，and injustice. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了春秋时期的政治家和思想家孔子的个人经历和历史地位以及他创立的儒家思想中的一些内容。 1．What does the underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
