Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.

Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).

While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.

Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying(遵从) and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.

(       ) 1. Which are the most important of the Five Constants?

A. Ren andyi.        B. Ren and li.      C. Li and xin.      D. Yi and zhi.

A. 博学于文，约之以礼。       B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。       D. 君子和而不同，小人同而不和。

(       ) 3. Which of the following is an example of li?

A. Building a peaceful society.         B. Taking care of one’s children.

C. Obeying rules for drinking tea.     D. Learning all through one’s life.

(       ) 4. What does the passage mainly tell us about Confucianism?

A. Its general virtues.                        B. Its long history.

C. Its new challenges.                       D. Its golden rules.

Recently, a primary school in Changsha, has put Virtual Reality (VR) technology(虚拟现实技术) to good use in an English class. When the students put on the VR glasses, it seemed that they were taken into a new world where they could see, touch and feel. The world felt so real that they could enjoy the views along the way while allowing more knowledge to be kept in mind.

VR language learning is now starting to be widely used in many schools. Think of it like this. Now you are learning English in China, you don’t have the atmosphere to use English, but if you learn English in English-speaking countries like America or the UK, it’ll be much easier for you to make progress.

Nowadays, a lot of apps have also been designed to serve VR language learning. The app “House of Languages” is one of them. It is already available on the Samsung VR. It can sense your movement and the acts of your eyeballs, arms and hands, so you don’t have to sit still like in traditional classes.

When you are learning English in it, a lovely racoon(浣熊) called Mr. Woo, will guide you to communicate in English. You can use English by finishing tasks Mr. Woo gives you. For example, you will be asked to find “certain things” at your “home” according to the English words that Mr. Woo gives you. After you’ve found these “things”, you should “take them”, “come back” to Mr. Woo and “give them” to him. Then he will say thanks to you. Sometimes, Mr. Woo may have some activities like a family party so that you will have more tasks to finish in that situation. You will learn English so quickly that you will even forget you are learning.

Virtual Reality is showing increasing promise in language education and the day isn’t far away when it will become one of the main medias in education. What about you? Would you learn a new language in Virtual Reality?

(       ) 1. What does the underlined word “atmosphere” mean in paragraph ②?

A. skill                     B. plan                C. environment                 D. ability

(       ) 2. What is the good thing about using the app “House of Languages”?

A. It’s got better teachers than the other apps.               

B. It makes English learners finish tasks in a situation.

C. Learning on this app costs less money than in a real class. 

D. Students can learn English without moving around.

(       ) 3. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?

(①=Para.1, ②=Para.2, ③=Para.3, ④=Para.4, ⑤=Para.5)

A.①/②③④⑤     B.①/②③/④⑤      C.①②③/④⑤     D. ①②/③④/⑤
