Kong Zi called Confucius(551-479 B.C.).and Soerates(469 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart,and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of there great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Soeraes was not asked by rulers how to goversn offectively.Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, foeusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand,advised those in gowernnent and many of his students went ment
Conful suggested Rule as a principle for the corduet of “Lo not others what you would not want to you.”He assumed that all men were equal at some potential than others, are that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socraes focusesd on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential a develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concerm.For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.

China Calls for Unified International Rules Against Internet CrimeCyber security has always been a serious issue as the Internet industry is ever growing. Nowadays, people can easily connect to the Internet with a simple click of a mouse. But the global network can be easily destroyed by a single leak. The world is facing a difficult situation in keeping web security.Currently, there are no unified international rules for maintaining Internet security. China has called for unified international rules against Internet crime. Last year China and some other countries handed in a draft Code of Conduct on Information Security to the UN.World leaders and experts discussed the possible Internet threats facing the world. They agreed that the only way to deal with Internet security threats was to trust each other and strengthen cooperation. The threats cannot be solved by any one country alone. And for these reasons, countries would have a greater chance of trusting each other in dealing with such threats.Though great efforts were made to issue common regulations for the Internet, few results have been achieved yet. Theres still a long way to go for unified global Internet security rules and regulations.26. Maintaining web security is () for the world.A. easyB. a piece of cakeC. difficult27.

第三篇The IcemanOn a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200 meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have beenpart of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.The word"bandits"in Paragraph 4 could be best replaced by______________.A:robbersB:shooters C:soldiers D:hunters

One would think that in a world torn by economic problems,a world that constantly worries about economic affairs and talks of economic issues,the great economists would be as familiar as the great philosophers or statesmen.Instead they are oniy shadowy figures of the past,ancl the matters they so passionately debated are regarded with a kind of distant awe.Economics,it is said,is undeniably important,but it is cold and difficult,and best left to those who are at home in perplexing realms of thought.Nothing could be further from the truth.A man who thinks that economics is only a matter for professors forgets that this is the science that has sent men to the battlefield.A man who has looked into an economics textbook and concluded that economics is boring is like a man who has read a basic book on tactics and decided that the study of warfare must be dull No,the great economists pursued an inquiry as exciting-and as dangerous-as any the world has ever known.The ideas they dealt with,unlike the ideas of the great philosophers,did not make little difference to our daily working lives;the experiments they urged could not,like the scientists',be carried out in the isolation of a laboratory.The notions of the great economists were world-shaking,and their mistakes nothing short of calamitous."The ideas of economists and political philosophers,"wrote Lord Keynes,himself a great economist,"both when they are right and when they are wrong,are more powerful than is commonly unclerstood.Indeed the world is ruled by little else.Practical men,who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences,are usually the slaves of some departed economist.Madmen in authority,who hear voices in the air,are extracting their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas."The great economists can be called worldly philosophers,for they sought to embrace in a scheme of philosophy the most worldly of all of man's activities-his drive for wealth.It is not,perhaps,the most elegant kind of philosophy,but there is no more intriguing or more important one,Who would think to look for Order and Design in a poor family and a speculator breathlessly awaiting ruin,or seek Consistent Laws and Principles in a mob marching in a street and a greengrocer smiling at his customers?Yet it was the faith of the great economists that just such seemingly unrelated threads could be woven into a single fabric,that at a sufficient distance the chaotic world could be seen as an orderly progression,and the noise resolved into a harmony.

What Makes a Soccer Player Great?Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the bestEnglish soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.The author attributes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPTA: his family backgroundB: his neighbourhoodC: his practiceD: his height

问答题Practice 1 Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. There in the world would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the fools whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year, and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why fools are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.

问答题The History of the Olympic Games The first Olympic games at Olympia were held in 776 B.C. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 B.C. were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The games were held every four years from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D. when they were abolished by the Christian Byzantine Emperor Theodosius I. The ancient Olympic Games lasted for 1,170 years. If the Modern Olympic games last that long, they will still be held in 3066 A.D. The ancient Greeks were highly competitive and believed strongly in the concept of competition or contest. The ultimate Greek goal was to be the best. All aspects of life, especially athletics, were centered around this concept. It was therefore considered one of the greatest honors to win a victory at Olympia. The fact that the only prize given at Olympia was an olive wreath illustrated this point. The athletes competed for honour, not for material goods. In ancient Greece, games were closely connected to the worship of the gods and heroes. Games were held as part of religious ceremonies in honour of deceased heroes. Games were also held in the context of many ancient fertility festivals. Later, the Olympic games began to be usurped by the prominent cult of Zeus, and eventually lost much of their religious character. The Greek calendar was based on the conception of the four-year Olympiad. When Greek historians referred to dates, they most often referred to a year within the Olympiad that the event occurred. The winner of the state race in a given year had the Olympiad named in honour of him. The first Oympiad is therefore known as that of Koromikos of ELis, the winner of the state in 776 B.C. Every four years for over 1,100 years, from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D., thousands of people ceased all warfare and flocked to a small sanctuary in north-western Greece for five days in the late summer for a single reason—to witness the Olympic Games. During that time, competitors from all over the Greek world competed in a number of athletic events and worshipped the gods at the sanctuary of Olympia. However, unlike modern Olympics, only free men who spoke Greek could compete and the games were always held at Olympia instead of moving around to different sites every time. From the beginning, the games at Olympia served to strengthen the Greek sense of national unity. During the Hellenisitic period, Greeks who came to live in foreign surroundings such as Syria, Asia, and Egypt, strove to hold on to their own culture. One of the ways they did was to build athletic facilities and continue their athletic traditions. They organized competitions, and sent competitors from their towns to compete in the Panhellenic games. In the 2nd century A.D., Roman citizenship was extended to everyone within the Roman empire. After this point there were many competitors from outside of Greece, and the Olympic games became more internationalized. When the Greek government reinstated the games in 1896, this internationalized character of the competitions was preserved by Baron de Coubertin. Now, the Olympic games attract competitors from countries all over the world.
