While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the
United States will give him a passing thought.It"s nothing personal.Most Americans don"t
even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn"t mean that Americans don"t care about Confucius.In many ways he has
become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding
of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in
Western universities.More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes
in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main
courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some
social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese
wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United
States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world
where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make
money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker"s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce
Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his
birthday is.

The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album
history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变)
popular culture dramatically. And it wasn"t just the suits and changing lengths of hair the
four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for.
The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude
to life.
Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners
today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The
music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to
an end, with the release of the entire band"s music in a digital makeover. It is probably the
biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial
Times.
The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the
band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969,
featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road
itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images.
Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers
gathered there to show their appreciation.
Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be
forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have
endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartney"s biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They
were the first rock band… and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band

and tests passed.
In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult
when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is
learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive
into the grownup world.
"Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school, " said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the
pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. "It"s like you"re not cool if you
don"t have a car, " she said.
According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985.
Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some
teenagers don"t want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more
for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has
made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his
learner"s permit.
Chad said he has accepted his parents" decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky, " he said, "But I"d rather be alive than driving, and I_don"t_really_trust_my
_friends_on_the_road,_either."
In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to
becoming an adult?
B. Driving into the GrownUp World
C. Teenagers" Driving in America
D. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult
B. they are never experienced drivers
C. older people always drive better
D. they never drive carefully on the road
B. Whether the kid is old enough.
C. What traffic condition there is around.
D. Whether it"s practically needed.
B. he didn"t agree with his friends
C. he might not be safe if his friends drove
D. he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him
B. a cultural difference between America and China
