24、
Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution 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.” “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others,” he said.

26、If you’re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your beside or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read” sign on it. Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eoo. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.
If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a steam of information at an artificial(假的) point. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don’t feel guilty over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references(参考书) more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today.
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s good for you and good for the world around you.
【1】What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Feelings of guilt over new books.
B.A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C.The collection of unread books.
D.A large personal library.
【2】According to the author, more unread books mean ________.
A.your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong
B.you limit yourself from the unknown
C.you have known a lot about the world
D.you are eager to know the new world.
【3】What's the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?
A.Negative.
B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive.
D.Uncertain.
