In China students seldom _______ what their teachers say.

Confucius is one of a handful of individuals who have shaped world history. His fame can be compared to great leaders and emperors, but Confucius neither commanded an army nor ruled a state yet his teachings shaped the soul of China. Confucianism，the great system of moral philosophy, or Confucius as he is known in the West, became the basis for personal and government morality in China. For a period of almost 1,500 years, the teachings of Confucius formed the basis of the Chinese state religion. Even today his teachings continue to influence modern China and its culture.

Confucius was born in the year 551 B.C. in the state of Lu, in what is now the modern Chinese province of Shandong. At the age of 19, Confucius married and entered into government service for the state of Lu. He also began acquiring a band of disciples who were drawn to his teachings about personal behavior and morality.

In 497 B.C. when Confucius was 54 years old, he was forced to leave the state. He traveled through out China, surrounded by a band of faithful followers, teaching his moral philosophy. He eventually returned to his native state of Lu, where he attempted to influence the ruler.

Confucius died in 479 B.C.. His son and his most promising pupils had died before him and it seemed that his teachings would not take root. But his students had collected many of his sayings in a book which came to be known as The Analects of Confucius, and in time the seeds that Confucius had planted took root and spread through out China. In time, Confucianism became the official state religion of China.

The teenage years should be the best years of your life!Young people often hear adults
The teenage years should be the best years of your life!
Young people often hear adults say this, but many teenagers disagree. They simply don’t feel like they’re in the midst of their best years. The pressures of school exams and concerns about relationships with family and friends create a great deal of stress for the average teenager. Many find ways to cope with the stress. But for a large number of teens, their problems seem impossible to deal with. When this happens, the young person may fall into depression.
In mainland China, a survey found that 16 percent of college students suffered from fear, anxiety, or depression. Increasing mental health problems have prompted the government to look for possible solutions.
This growing trend extends beyond Asia, too. Studies in the U.S. and the UK show that teenage depression is on the rise. A 2004 report stated that emotional problems among Britain’s youth have increased by 70 percent over the past 25 years.
Faced with these startling numbers, mental health professionals are hoping to raise awareness. Depression can range from mild unhappiness to thoughts of suicide. For this reason, adults should take the illness seriously. Parents can do this by learning about the causes and symptoms of teen depression.
Some factors that may lead to teenage depression are:
●Overwhelming expectations by parents and other adults
●Parental separation or divorce
●Death of a loved one
●Moving to a new location
●Physical illness
Most of the time when teens are depressed, there’something wrong in their lives, says UCLA psychology professor Constance Hammen. Kids often get depressed because bad things happen to them that they don’t have the coping skills to deal with.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of depression, you need to talk with someone. There’s no shame in being depressed. Most people suffer from it at one time or another.Unfortunately , feelings of depression may cause you to feel hopeless about your life and your future. But another person can help you put things in perspective.
(1)In paragraphs 3 and 4, a survey in mainland China and a 2004 report are mentioned to ______________.
A、indicate the contrast between mainland China and UK
B、show teenage depression is a serious problem in mainland China
C、show teenage depression is a growing problem in UK
D、indicate teenage depression is a growing problem in many countries.
(2)Why do kids often get depressed according to Constance Hammen？
A、Because bad things often happen to them.
B、Because there’s something wrong in their life.
C、Because they can’t deal with the problems.
D、Because they are weak.
(3)All of the following can fall into the category of depression EXCEPT __________.
A、stress
B、mild unhappiness
C、some mental or emotional problems
D、thoughts of suicide
(4)If you feel depressed, you should __________.
A、be ashamed
B、feel hopeless
C、talk to someone
D、enjoy your best years
(5)The word it in the last paragraph refers to ______________.
A、a problem
B、depression
C、shame
D、a disease

Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage: The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”
The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them -- as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents -- has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.
Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
(80) The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”
第11题：The best title for this passage might be_____.
A. Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese
B. Next Hot Language to Study: Spanish
C.Next Hot Language to Study: French
D. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese
