Confucius's main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people.
Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius
is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC (公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once
been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big
city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi,
who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years
old, he tried to get involved in politics (介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but
when this idea didn't work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰
相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving
advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn't like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went
back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.

could be educated because more books could be printed. Paper provided an important way to communicate with knowledge.
Paper was first made in China about 2000 years ago. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before
the year 1400. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. After that, the forestry countries of Canada.
Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important countries in paper-making. Today Finland
makes the best paper in the world. And it has biggest paper industry in the world.
When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books, letters, envelops, and writing paper. So paper plays an
important role in our lives.
Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated (隔热) with paper. You perhaps see homeless men
sleep on a large number of newspapers. They are insulating themselves from the cold. In Finland, in winter it is sometimes

Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know
4 / 9what the weather will be like days or even months later. What's the secret? They are following the 24 Solar Terms (节气),
which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added it to the list of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)．
In ancient times, most Chinese people made their living on farms. So, weather changes were important for them.
Without satellites, the Internet or the weather broadcast's help, Chinese ancient people studied the sun's movement with a
sundial(日晷仪). They also paid attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and crop growth. As early
as the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors had already established four major solar terms. During the Zhou Dynasty, eight
solar terms marking the four seasons were established. Until the Han Dynasty, the present 24 solar terms was established
completely. The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe(惊蛰) is when insects wake
up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China's fifth great invention, after papermaking, printing, the compass and
gunpowder. Now, people still say, “Do not show your feet after hanlu(寒露). ” Why? It's because the solar term hanlu marks
the coming of cold days.
11．How did the 24 Solar Terms come into being?
A．With the help of satellites.
B．With the help of weather broadcast.
C．By learning from people working on farms.

A．our grandparents have magic powers
B．Jingzhe is regarded as the start of cold winter
C．the 24 Solar Terms was established step by step
D．weather changed more often in ancient times than it does now
15．The saying in the last paragraph shows ________.
A．why hanlu marks the coming of cold days
B．how the 24 Solar Terms guides people in their daily lives
C．when the 24 Solar Terms was honored as China's fifth great invention
5 / 9D．what are five great inventions of China

They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel
writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of
travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted
to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible
for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from
such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three
months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother
but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he
travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and
many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu
Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research
the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas,
and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was
slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He
died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death,
much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the
world.
16．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother?
A．Strict but interesting. B．Supportive and open-minded.
C．Helpful and hardworking. D．Kind but uneducated.
17．Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.
A．it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people
B．it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time
C．it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail
D．it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in
6 / 918．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?
A．It was the first travel book ever written in China.
B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C．It was mainly about the different people of China.
D．It was only made public after Xu died.
19．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Xu Xiake's Life Story B．Xu Xiake's Discovery
C．Xu Xiake's Travelling Experience D．Xu Xiake's Book
20．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?
a. He went on his first journey.
b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.
A．a-e-d-c-b B．d-e-a-b-c C．d-e-a-c-b D．e-d-a-b-c
