had made a new outlook,a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind

years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting
to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how
these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.
Neither philosophers 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 than Confucius. Unlike
Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus,Socrates was able to be
more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius,on the other
hand,advised those in govemment service,and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:" Do not do to others what
you would not want others to do to you. " He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had
more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the
individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. 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 concern. For Confucius,
however,the family was the centre of the society,with family retations considered much more important
than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates" ideas.
C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers" ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
B. the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
B. Potential.
C. Knowledge.
D. Community.
B. comparison and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. definition and classification

Ingles,51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is the youngest mayor of the US. As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005 , he registered to vote on Sept.
22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign(战役) ,

the kitchens of his neighbours. "They"d look at me, and say, ‘ How old are you? How much experience
do you have?" And I say,’I"m still in high school" ," he said.
Sessions promised Hillsdale"s voters he would renew the local economy. "I was hopeful the whole
time, "he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up
in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. "From 7:50 a. m. to
2:30 p. m. , I"ll be a student. From 3 to 6, I"ll be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
"He did a very brave thing that couldn"t have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vetted, a councilman
in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about his town. He"s
been here all his life. "

He was born on August 30,1930. __1__He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water. When his
family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for the Washington Post. Buffett ran his five
paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was
making $175 a month,a full-time wage for many men.
__2__He spent $1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $50 a

Operated Machine Corp.
Already a successful small-time businessman, Buffett wasn"t interested in going to college but ended up
at the University of Pennsylvania—his father encouraged him to go. __3__But he was turned down in
what had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett"s

strategy.

In the dictionary, the word" applause" means to clap your hands to praise or welcome. Clappingis not
usually used to protect against something. But when David Beckham made this mistake, he was punished with a red card.
The England football captain was shown a yellow card by referee Arturo Dauden Ibanez during a
match between Real Madridand Valencia in Madrid, Spain on Oct. 23.
Beckham then half-turned his back on Ibanez and applauded. His protest made the referee very angry. In return he gave Beckhama red card. The Spanish Football Association withdrew the red card last week due to Real Madrid"s protest. But Beckham still has to pay a 60 euro fine for his mistake.

yards away from his own half on the first day of the 1995/6 England football season. He then led England
into the quarter finals of the 2002 World Cup.
But he is more than a footballer. His handsome appearance isas powerful as his outstanding
performance on the field. Few pop stars can match him in terms of pure style. He has attracted millions of
teenagers to follow his way of dressing.
"I have come to accept that if I have a new haircut, it is front page news. But having a picture of my
foot on the front page of a national newspaper is a bit exceptional. " he once said.
He appears in advertisements as often as on the field. Beckhamis now the richest footballer in the world with an average annual income of 8 million pounds, mainly from advertisements for beauty treatments,

"I practiced quite a lot on this," said Sun with a childish grin
(露齿而笑), "There need to be some surprises for my fans, because
they"ve waited for so long. " After a year"s delay because of
the SARS outbreak, the Singaporean pop queen was finally able to
begin her first tour of China on June 5 in Guangzhou. Her next stop
will be Beijing,on June 12.
"I"m so happy to show my best here and now and to share my
happiness with my fans," she said. Music has been an inseparable

piano at her father"s suggestion at the age of five. She soon found
