They found that in soccer matches over the last 55 years, teams with a red kit (队服) always played better in home games than any other kit color. Another study showed that wearing green can make people become more creative. People will have more new ideas if they wear green clothes.

If a person wants to be a gentleman (君子), he should pay attention to what he does and says. Then what are the rules for a gentleman on words and actions Let’s find out the answers from Confucius, one of the greatest teachers in ancient China.
In the West, some people believe that how someone says something is more important than what he says. However, Confucius didn’t think so. He believed that gentlemen should choose their words carefully, even if that may make people feel bored.
Confucius believed that words are important so they should follow etiquette (规矩). But he also put forward his idea of what gentlemen should do: work hard. He said that gentlemen should not be lazy and need to focus (集中注意力) on their work to improve themselves.
These rules for gentlemen’s words and actions have influenced Chinese people for a long time. Today, many Chinese people still prefer to have a practical (务实的) spirit rather than saying pleasant words.

Her mother was very much alarmed, and said, “Take the money back to the good old man at once. It must have got into the bread by accident.”

Hi! I’m the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway (铁路), I’ve felt happy recently because a new high-speed railway now links (连接) the two cities. Do you want to know my story
I was born in 1909. I’m 114 years old now. The one who made me was Zhan Tianyou. He was a brave and smart man. He believed China should build its own railways without other countries’ help. So he built me, China’s first self-built railway.
At first, my trains used steam (蒸汽) and they were very slow. Their top speed was only 35 km/h. Then, the trains started to use diesel (柴油). Later, there were even better trains which used electricity (电). But it still took more than three hours to travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou Hebei.
In 2020, the new high-speed railway opened on Dec 30. I was so excited. It will help people travel more faster. The high-speed train has a top speed of 350 km/h! It only takes 47 minutes to travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou.
During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the two host cities of the event, welcomed lots of people from around the world.
I’m too old to keep working these days, but people will keep me as part of history. It’s a little sad. But I’m still proud (骄傲的) of all the changes China has made. Zhan Tianyou must be proud too.

If a person wants to be a gentleman (君子), he should pay attention to what he does and says. Then what are the rules for a gentleman on words and actions Let’s find out the answers from Confucius, one of the greatest teachers in ancient China.
In the West, some people believe that how someone says something is more important than what he says. However, Confucius didn’t think so. He believed that gentlemen should choose their words carefully, even if that may make people feel bored.
Confucius believed that words are important so they should follow etiquette (规矩). But he also put forward his idea of what gentlemen should do: work hard. He said that gentlemen should not be lazy and need to focus (集中注意力) on their work to improve themselves.
These rules for gentlemen’s words and actions have influenced Chinese people for a long time. Today, many Chinese people still prefer to have a practical (务实的) spirit rather than saying pleasant words.
Of course, as culture has developed over time, we should also view (看待) his words critically (批判性地). Choosing our words and actions according to the situation is also a form of wisdom (智慧).
34. Which of the following picture is the photo of Confucius
A. B. C. D.
35. What is more important for Westerners (西方人)
A. What to say. B. How to say. C. When to say. D. Where to say.
36. Which of the following the Confucius’s idea
A. Words are more important than actions.
B. We shouldn’t say anything that may make others feel bored.
C. Gentlemen should work hard to improve themselves.
D. Actions are more important than words.
37. Which of the following statement is TRUE
A. Gentlemen pay more attention to actions than words.
B. The ideas of Confucius haven’t influenced Chinese.
C. We should believe Confucius’ ideas all the time.
D. Chinese prefer to have a practical spirit.
38. What’s the article about
A. Health. B. Sports. C. Nature. D. Culture.

Once there was a famine (饥荒). A rich old man sent for 20 of the poorest children in the town and said to them, “In this basket there is a loaf (一条面包) for each of you. Take it, and come back to me every day at this hour till we live through this famine.”
The hungry children quickly gathered around the basket and started to fight over the bread. But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not join in the fighting. She stood far away quietly and waited until the children left. Then, she took the only loaf in the basket, kissed the old man’s hand, and went home.
The next day the children acted the same as before, and poor Gretchen got an even smaller loaf. When she came home and her mother cut the loaf open, many pieces of silver (银子) fell out of it.
Her mother was very much alarmed, and said, “Take the money back to the good old man at once. It must have got into the bread by accident.”
As the little girl gave the money to the old man, he said, “No no, my child, it was no mistake. I put the silver pieces into the smallest loaf to reward (奖赏) you. Always stay as happy and thankful as you are right now. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is your own.”
With the help of money, the girl and her family begin to live a happy and rich life.
39. Why did the rich old man gather the poorest children from the town
A. To ask them to work for him. B. To give them lessons on sharing.
C. To help them live through the famine. D. To teach them how to fight for food.
40. What did Gretchen do when the other children fought over the bread
A. She joined the fight for a big loaf. B. She waited quietly and didn’t fight.
C. She laughed at the fighting children. D. She ran away from the place.
41. Why did Gretchen’s mother want her to give the money back
A. Because she thought it was a mistake.
B. Because she wanted Gretchen to ask for more money.
C. Because she wanted the old man to reward Gretchen.
D. Because she wanted to show thanks to the old man.
