Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today. On September 28, people hold different kinds of activities to celebrate Confucius’ birthday.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He 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 from them.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble (贵族) 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. 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 (礼仪). “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others,” he said.

3.Before Confucius started a school, who could go to school?

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Coffee and Love for Others
Lili Time is one of the many cafés in Shanghai, but it is a little bit different. Some customers say they do not go there to drink coffee. Instead, they want to enjoy the “special” service.
In 2013, when Zhang Lili was working in her first café, a customer gave her a note. It read, “I’m deaf. I can’t hear anything but I really love coffee. Would you give me the chance to become a barista (咖啡师)?” And the rest, as they say, was history. This person became the first deaf barista in that cafê. And there started Zhang’s story with the deaf community (社区).
In 2019, Zhang and her husband started Lili Time. Over the past few years, it has become a place filled with love. After winning hearts in the deaf community with creative ideas, this café now attracts new crowds, shining like a lighthouse.
Some other cafés also have deaf baristas, but they use QR codes (二维码) to help with ordering. Lili Time does not. People need to order their coffee by talking to their baristas, even though they speak slowly and sometimes not clearly enough. But this is Zhang’s plan. She wants deaf people to talk to others and be more confident. She doesn’t sell coffee by delivery service, either. She wants there to be communication between her customers and her baristas.
At the same time, Lili Time provides a space for people to teach others skills. Some may teach how to take photos, for example; people from other countries may teach English, French, and so on—all for free. They come here every week. They just love helping others.
Now, Zhang is thinking about opening more cafés. She has come to know a lot about children who have other problems. And she thinks that her new cafés may help these children in one way or another.
Many Shanghainese believe this is a special café.

What did people from the New Stone Age look like? For a long time, nobody knew. But modern technologies have now showed us the faces of two men from that time.
Last month, a group of Chinese researchers released the portraits (肖像) of these two men. They were based on their skulls. These head bones were discovered at the Yangshao Village site in Henan Province.
The researchers believe the two men both lived near the Yellow River. One man likely lived around 5, 600 years ago, during the Yangshao culture. He was about 40 years old when he died. The other was around 50. He might have lived about 4, 000 years ago. This was the Longshan culture period.
At present, there are no written records of these ancient people. The researchers collected lots of data from the skulls. They used the data to create 3D models of the men’s faces. Then, they studied populations with the closest genetic (基因的) background. This helped them to rebuild the muscles. Genetic studies also showed other features of the two men. These include their skin color and what their hair was like.
“The project lets us know the faces of our ancestors,” said one of the researchers. “It also helps us learn something about the rich cultures of ancient society. ”

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题).
A student reporter (SP) from New Star Weekly is having an interview with Tina about helping others.
SP: Hi Tina! I heard you did something amazing. Can you tell me about it?
Tina: Sure! It all started when I was at the grocery store with my dad. We saw an elderly lady trying hard to move her groceries, and we offered to help her carry them to her car. That’s when I got the idea of helping more people like her.
SP: That’s really kind of you! What did you do next?
Tina: After that, my dad and I shared our phone numbers with some elderly neighbours. We told them they could give us their shopping lists, and we would buy their groceries. This way, they would reduce the risk (风险) of visiting the stores and carrying the heavy bags all the way back home.
SP: Wow, that’s a great idea! Did more people join in?
Tina: Yes! My dad even made an online group to find more volunteers. Pretty soon, lots of people wanted to help, and that’s how the Good Neighbour Project started. Now, there are over 6,000 people helping in different cities.
SP: How does the Good Neighbour Project work?
Tina: It’s simple. People who need help with their groceries, like the disabled or the elderly with difficulty in moving around, can call the Good Neighbour Hotline. We connect them with a volunteer who buys their groceries and delivers them for free. They only pay for the groceries, not for the delivery.
SP: That’s awesome, Tina! Any final thoughts?
Tina: I just think if you see someone who needs help, you should go for it. Kindness doesn’t take much, but it can have a huge influence!

Betty was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime music club at school, which she went to only because it was cold and rainy that day. At the same time, her friends were in the playground playing baseball—a sport that Betty hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Betty. She thought it was cool that there were so many different shapes and sizes of drums, and she wanted to hit them to see what they sounded like.
Now Betty is fourteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own video channel and gets over a million hits a year. What’s amazing is that Betty hasn’t ever been to a drum lesson. “You can learn anything on the internet, so I’ve never felt it was important for me to take classes,” explains Betty.
Giving concerts wasn’t easy for Betty at the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom. At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened. So, does Betty enjoy being famous now? “________.” she says. “All I want is to show others what I love. I don’t think I’m someone special. I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts.”

Cao clearly remembered that day. One evening in March, he was having dinner at the school dinning hall. Then he saw a classmate’s face turning purple.

Cao learned the Heimlich maneuver during a safety education class at school. “The teacher showed us how to do it and we practised with each other,” said Cao.
His school organises safety education classes every month and encourages students to take online classes. The reason for organising these classes is to help students learn how to act correctly when facing with a dangerous situation. The school wants all students to be prepared and know what to do to stay safe and help others if needed.
When talking about the safety education, Cao said, “Many students think it’s unnecessary to learn safety skills. But I think, as middle school students, we must take safety education seriously. Learning these skills can save lives when it’s really needed.”

If you are outside, move away from buildings and street lights. They could fall and hurt you.
If you are in a crowded room away from the door, don’t rush to the exit. You will find too many people trying to get out at the same time. Instead, hide under a desk or table. Don’t use an elevator when you are in a tall building. You may get trapped (困住).
Stay in a safe place until you are sure it’s OK to leave. Some aftershocks (余震) may follow an earthquake. These are as dangerous as the earthquake.

Will You Help Others?
There is an issue which has caught large numbers of net friends’ attention again recently. Three pupils helped an old man who fell to the ground and were framed (诬陷) by the fallen man that they had knocked him over. The man asked compensation (赔偿) from the three pupils and even went to their homes to live. Most netters sympathize (同情) with the three children and accuse (谴责) the man of making use of children’s kindness to cheat money. They also doubt whether nobody is going to help others in the future. The three kids and their parents may feel sad about it. But I don’t think we should refuse to help others. Why? First of all, not all strangers are cheaters. Actually, there are few cheaters in our society. Just imagine, what if one day you are in trouble and no one wants to help you? Should we be onlookers when other people fall down or get injured in front of us? We should learn from the three kids. It isn’t their fault for helping the man. Their problem is that they are unlucky to meet a cheat. Secondly, helping others is the traditional virtue (美德) of China. We shouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to help others because of a few negative behaviors. We are educated to offer help to others from childhood. If everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and turns a blind eye to the people in need, the society will become cold and there will be only suspicion (猜疑). In fact, helping others is helping ourselves. There is an old saying in China, “One good turn deserves another.” It means rewards will first come to the nice guys who are good persons and who keep helping others.
1.What did the fallen man ask the three pupils for?
2.Who sympathizes with the three pupils and accuses the man?
3.How may the three kids and their parents feel about helping the old man?
4.What will happen if everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and turns a blind eye to the people in need?
5.According to the writer, can we refuse (拒绝) to help others?
6.What can we learn from the passage? (No more than 20 words)

Lili Time is one of the many cafés in Shanghai, but it is a little bit different. Some customers say they do not go there to drink coffee. Instead, they want to enjoy the “special” service.

Some other cafés also have deaf baristas, but they use QR codes (二维码) to help with ordering. Lili Time does not. People need to order their coffee by talking to their baristas, even though they speak slowly and sometimes not clearly enough. But this is Zhang’s plan. She wants deaf people to talk to others and be more confident. She doesn’t sell coffee by delivery service, either. She wants there to be communication between her customers and her baristas.
At the same time, Lili Time provides a space for people to teach others skills. Some may teach how to take photos, for example; people from other countries may teach English, French, and so on—all for free. They come here every week. They just love helping others.
Now, Zhang is thinking about opening more cafés. She has come to know a lot about children who have other problems. And she thinks that her new cafés may help these children in one way or another.
Many Shanghainese believe this is a special café.

What did people from the New Stone Age look like? For a long time, nobody knew. But modern technologies have now showed us the faces of two men from that time.
Last month, a group of Chinese researchers released the portraits (肖像) of these two men. They were based on their skulls. These head bones were discovered at the Yangshao Village site in Henan Province.
The researchers believe the two men both lived near the Yellow River. One man likely lived around 5, 600 years ago, during the Yangshao culture. He was about 40 years old when he died. The other was around 50. He might have lived about 4, 000 years ago. This was the Longshan culture period.
At present, there are no written records of these ancient people. The researchers collected lots of data from the skulls. They used the data to create 3D models of the men’s faces. Then, they studied populations with the closest genetic (基因的) background. This helped them to rebuild the muscles. Genetic studies also showed other features of the two men. These include their skin color and what their hair was like.
“The project lets us know the faces of our ancestors,” said one of the researchers. “It also helps us learn something about the rich cultures of ancient society. ”

After she told him that his clothes were spotless, the conversation continued for a few more rounds until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly.

Recently, 16-year-old Cao Chenzhe from Taizhou, Jiangshu Province, got 5,000 yuan for his brave act of using the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法) to save a classmate’s life.
Cao clearly remembered that day. One evening in March, he was having dinner at the school dinning hall. Then he saw a classmate’s face turning purple.
“Oh no, something is stuck in his throat!” Cao quickly found the problem and used the Heimlich maneuver. After trying many times, a large rice ball came out of the classmate’s throat.
Cao learned the Heimlich maneuver during a safety education class at school. “The teacher showed us how to do it and we practised with each other,” said Cao.
His school organises safety education classes every month and encourages students to take online classes. The reason for organising these classes is to help students learn how to act correctly when facing with a dangerous situation. The school wants all students to be prepared and know what to do to stay safe and help others if needed.

When an earthquake happens, you must act quickly. The first several seconds are important.

Stay in a safe place until you are sure it’s OK to leave. Some aftershocks (余震) may follow an earthquake. These are as dangerous as the earthquake.

Will You Help Others?
There is an issue which has caught large numbers of net friends’ attention again recently. Three pupils helped an old man who fell to the ground and were framed (诬陷) by the fallen man that they had knocked him over. The man asked compensation (赔偿) from the three pupils and even went to their homes to live. Most netters sympathize (同情) with the three children and accuse (谴责) the man of making use of children’s kindness to cheat money. They also doubt whether nobody is going to help others in the future. The three kids and their parents may feel sad about it. But I don’t think we should refuse to help others. Why? First of all, not all strangers are cheaters. Actually, there are few cheaters in our society. Just imagine, what if one day you are in trouble and no one wants to help you? Should we be onlookers when other people fall down or get injured in front of us? We should learn from the three kids. It isn’t their fault for helping the man. Their problem is that they are unlucky to meet a cheat. Secondly, helping others is the traditional virtue (美德) of China. We shouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to help others because of a few negative behaviors. We are educated to offer help to others from childhood. If everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and turns a blind eye to the people in need, the society will become cold and there will be only suspicion (猜疑). In fact, helping others is helping ourselves. There is an old saying in China, “One good turn deserves another.” It means rewards will first come to the nice guys who are good persons and who keep helping others.
1.What did the fallen man ask the three pupils for?
2.Who sympathizes with the three pupils and accuses the man?
3.How may the three kids and their parents feel about helping the old man?
4.What will happen if everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and turns a blind eye to the people in need?
5.According to the writer, can we refuse (拒绝) to help others?
6.What can we learn from the passage? (No more than 20 words)
【答案】1.He asked them for compensation. 2.Most netters. 3.They may feel sad about it. 4.The society will become cold and there will be only suspicion. 5.No, we can’t. 6.We should help others though there are negative behaviors.
【导语】本文主要讲述了三名学生帮摔倒老人反被诬陷索赔的事件,探讨是否应帮助他人,倡导别因负面情况拒绝助人,助人也是助己。
1.根据“The man asked compensation (赔偿) from the three pupils”可知,摔倒的老人向三名小学生索要赔偿。故填He asked them for compensation.

5.根据作者的观点“But I don’t think we should refuse to help others...First of all, not all strangers are cheaters.”和“Secondly, helping others is the traditional virtue (美德) of China.”以及“In fact, helping others is helping ourselves.”可知,作者是支持帮助他人的,因此我们不能拒绝帮助他人。故填No, we can’t.
