She pulled off her quilt. “Ezra,“ she said. "If I could just have some water,“ she told him. He poured it from the water-pot. She heard no ice cubes clinking （叮当声）；they must have melted. Yet it seemed just minutes ago that he'd brought in a whole new supply. He raised her head, rested it on his shoulder, and tipped the glass to her lips. Yes, half-heated -not that she minded. She drank gratefully, keeping her eyes closed. His shoulder felt steady and comforting. He laid her back down on the pillow.“DR. Vincent's coming at ten,“ he told her.“What time is it now?”“Eight-thirty.""Eight-thirty in the moming?“Yes.”“Have you been here all night?” she asked.“I slept a little.”“Sleep now. I won't be needing you."Well, maybe after the doctor comes.9,It was important to Pearl that she deceive the doctor. She didn't want to go to the hospital. Her illness was pneumonia （肺炎）,she was almost certain; she guessed it from a past experience. She recognized the way it settled into her back. If Dr.Vincent found out he would take her out of her own bed, her own house, and send her off to Union Memorial, tent her over with plastic.

His moral teachings emphasized self-cultivation（培养），imitation: of moral exemplars, and the attainment of skilled judgment rather than knowledge of rules. His teachings rarely rely on reasoned argument, and moral ideals and methods are conveyed indirectly. His teachings require examination and context to be understood. A good example is found in this famous anecdote:底焚。子退朝，日:，募人乎? ”不冏焉。When the stables were burnt down, on returning from court Confucius said, （iWas anyone hurt? ” He did not ask about the horses.X.ll （tr. Waley）, 10-13（tr. Legge）, or X-17（tr. Lau）By not asking about the horses, Confucius demonstrates that the sage（圣人）values human beings over property, but not directly; readers are led to reflect on whether their response would follow Confucius and to pursue self-improvement if it would not have. Confucius, as an exemplar of human excellence, serves not as an all-powerful deity（未申人）or a universally true set of abstract principles, but rather the best model for others. For these reasons, according to many commentators, Confucius's teachings may be considered a Chinese example of humanism.One of his teachings was a variant（变体）of the Golden Rule, sometimes called the "Silver Rule“ owing to its negative form:己所不欲，勿施於人。''What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.ff子直冏日:“有一言而可以身行之者乎?"子日:“其恕乎！己所不欲、勿施於人。”Zi Gong a disciple asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?”The Master replied: "How about "reciprocityf! Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.” Analects XV.24, tr. David HintonOften overlooked in Confucian morals are the virtues to the self: sincerity and the cultivation of knowledge. Virtuous action towards others begins with virtuous and sincere thought, which begins with knowledge. A virtuous nature without knowledge is likely to be influenced by corruption, and virtuous action without sincerity is not true righteousness（正义）. Cultivating knowledge and sincerity is also important fbr one's own sake; the superior person loves learning fbr the sake of learning and righteousness for the sake of righteousness.1、The horse example in the first paragraph is to show that Confucius.A. paid much attention to moral teachingsB. meant others to understand his teachings by self-reflectionC. directly demonstrated his emphasis on human beingsD. never inhumanly forced others to do what he didn't like to do2、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A , The importance of the virtues to the self.B. How to define the virtues to the self.C. The relationship between sincerity and knowledge.D. Why the virtues of the self are often overlooked.3、Which of the following principles of Confucius is mentioned in this passage?A. Example is better than teaching.B. He who practices virtues will have neighbors and friends.C. Keep what you say and carry out what you do.D. By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wild apart.Text 3Durian（榴莲）is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome （基因组）and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell.However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds （含硫化合物），became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.1、What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B , Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.2、What does the underlined word “evolved“ in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C.
