    Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius（孔子）,  whose birthday was September 28. 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 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.
    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.

5．根据材料内容，选择正确答案。

C
    Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
    Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
    In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
    But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.
    Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?

A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B. Because he did something wrong.
C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.
D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.
（2）If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means ________.

A. he gets top scores                                            B. he gets medium scores
C. he gets extremely bad scores                          D. he gets the worst scores
（3）The underlined words “high expectations” in this passage means “________”.

A. 很高的待遇                       B. 很多的自由                       C. 很高的期望                       D. 很多的关爱
（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.

A. the differences between Chinese education and American education
B. Chinese students are better than American students
C. American parents are not strict enough with their children

6．阅读理解
    Do you know the whales in the sea? There are many relatives（亲属） in the whale family and they always live together with whales.
    Few people know dolphins（海豚） are part of the whale family. Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They breathe air, and they have babies and feed them with milk. Dolphins are famous for their wonderful shows. They can jump high out of the water and show turns in the air. These jumps give the dolphins time to breathe.
    Porpoises（鼠海豚） are also in the whale family and are quite like dolphins. But they are different in the size and shape of the mouth. The dolphin's mouth is long and thin, but the porpoise's is short and thick. Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins make sounds to talk with each other under water. But porpoises do not do this. Both of them are smart and friendly to humans.
    Not all the members of the whale family are friendly. Big whales are much easier to be angry than smaller dolphins or porpoises. An angry whale can be dangerous. Perhaps this helped to create the story of Moby Dick that sank （使下沉） a ship and made all the people on it die in the sea.
（1）According to the passage, the porpoise     .
A. is a kind of mouse                                            B. is friendly to humans
C. is much bigger than the dolphin                    D. has a longer nose than the dolphin
（2）What can we learn from the passage?
A. Dolphins and porpoises have great differences in their habits.
B. Whale families often like swimming and living in groups.
C. Porpoises make sounds to communicate with one another under water.
D. Dolphins jump high out of the water to have fun.
（3）The underlined part "Moby Dick" in the last paragraph is probably     .
A. a ship                           B. a dolphin                           C. a porpoise                           D. a whale
（4）Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Food that Whales Eat                                    B. Whales' Eating Habits
C. Members of the Whale Family                      D. Differences Between Dolphins and Porpoises
