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 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.
31．Which are the most important of the Five Constants?
A．Ren and yi. B．Ren and li. C．Li and xin. D．Yi and zhi.
32．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
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。
33．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.

That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all levels of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most tea
grows in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the
drink in China. It was not long before green tea could be bought from the market. However, it was only for the rich
people.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased rapidly . Black tea arrived at this
time. At first this tea served exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little
milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British colour.
In the 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have
“afternoon tea”. They drank tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid hunger between lunch and dinner. It is a still
going today but has become less popular in recent times.
