Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution 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. He said, "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled, while 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. He said, "A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others."

One cold winter night in Shanghai, I was walking home after long tiring work. I was having trouble with my job in the bank. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up living there. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible danger. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets(毛毯).

Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, all I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. When I reached home, I realized what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Now I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched carefully for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) come to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Chen?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help.

32. One cold winter night, the writer felt ______ when she was back home after work.

A. disappointed and helpless.

B. lucky and helpful.

C. excited and cheerful.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old well educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.

The father asked his son, "What is that?"

The son replied, "That is a crow."

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this?"

The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow."

After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this?"

At this time, with some expression of irritation (恼怒) on his face, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow."

A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this?"

This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'! Are you not able to understand this?"

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent (单纯的) child.

Dear Emily,

I am so delighted to hear from you. As for my favorite sport, I’d say it’s badminton.

When I watched Lin Dan playing badminton at the Olympic Games, I was deeply impressed by his excellent skills and I decided to be just like him. I fell in love with badminton as soon as I started playing it and formed the habit of playing it with my friends at weekends. As time goes by, I have greatly improved my skills. Now I am on my school badminton team, which makes me very proud.

Playing badminton not only builds up my body, but also helps me make a lot of new friends. It makes my life more enjoyable.

续写

Paragraph 1:

After reading the diary, the son’s eyes were filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritated while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: When I reach old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?

Paragraph 2:

Feeling ashamed, the son fell to his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless love on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you the best way.” I hope everyone understands that if your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but take good care of them, and be kind to them, no matter how they behave.
