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.”

One day a man found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining (剩余的)bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been. We could never fly.
8. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story? A．It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.. B．It was flying among the trees in the forest. C．It was trying to make a cocoon for itself. D．It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
9. Why did the man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon? A. to kill the butterfly B. to take the butterfly home
C. to help the butterfly come out easily D. to stop the butterfly growing bigger 10. What do you think of the man?
A．Patient but cruel. B．Kind but unwise. C．Careful and wise.. D．Brave and funny. 11. What does the last paragraph tell us?
A．Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it. B．Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life. C．Every good deed will come with a good result.
D．The greatest happiness in the world is to help others. D
