Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (贡献) to the education today. Confucius lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. 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. ( ) 9.

On Oct. 24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese space company (公司 ), sold two space travel tickets in a livestream. This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. The tickets were 1.5 million (百万) yuan each. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each. The space trip will last about 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers(乘客) will sit in a spaceship. It is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide. There are six big windows and space for six people. The spaceship will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some security training before the trip. The trip will use the company’s Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on oxygen and kerosene (煤油), so the company can reuse the rocket. This makes the launch (发射) cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace.

What else can you do? Remember that the present(现在的) moment is the most important. To pay attention in class, do your best not to daydream. 19 Save thoughts about things outside of the classroom for later. 20 Everyone learns in different ways!

This term, we had a new subject to learn — physics. When our teacher asked someone to be the physics monitor (课代表), I put up my hand and got the role. But it was not as easy as I thought. In the beginning, I found that many students did not hand in (上交) their homework, so I was a little worried. I shouted at the students. It made the students angry. One girl asked, “Why are you shouting at me? You’re making it seem like it is all my mistake.” Then I found that, it was my mistake in fact. I should talk to my classmates in a kind way and not get so angry. After this, I changed how I spoke. “Excuse me. Could you please finish your homework?” I said. Later, I was surprised that many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly. I found the best way to do this job is to talk with my classmates in a friendly way. Now, I am getting better and better with my classmates. This job makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day. 41．When did Sally have the new subject—physics? 42．Why did Sally feel a little worried at first? 43. What is the best way for Sally to do the job? 44．Do you want to be one of the subject monitors? Why or why not?
