Book 8 Unit 1 综合训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AIf Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a strong wind to help him put them out.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 advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) 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.语篇解读：本文阐述了西方学生学习中国文化的现象，并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家——孔子的思想仍然受到世界人们的追捧。

Until 同步检测Ⅰ.阅读理解As parents，we always want what is best for our children.But finding that balance between allowing them to spread their wings and become independent and keeping them safe seems to be becoming increasingly difficult.In the past few weeks there have been two cases in which teens have murdered younger children.The truth is that we just don’t know，so how can we possibly let our children out of our sight？I know my son is capable of going to use the bathroom at a restaurant by himself，but I don’t know who else might be in that bathroom that could harm him.I know that he is capable of finding his way through the short wooded path at the park that is within yelling distance，but there is another access to the wooded area where someone could snatch him and take him out the other side before I would know it.Even when “all the other kids are doing it”as a mother my answer is “no”，because the what­ifs are too great.But we also can’t live in fear.At some point we will have to let them out of our sight or the sight of their teachers.When I think about 10­year­old Jessica Ridgeway walking to school in Colorado and 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale riding her bike，I think that their parents must be devastated(不安的)that they allowed them out on their own，but I also think that by those ages I hope that my child will be able to do the same thing.They were old enough to do them，but they still were victims to the evil of their neighbors.The world will never be rid of evil people.And it’s probably not even possible to say that it’s more evil now than it was when I was a kid.The news didn’t spread quite as far or as quickly as it does now with the Internet so people weren’t faced with stories about it every single day.I don’t know when will be the right time to let my son become more independent in this world.In the meantime，I will try to teach him how to protect himself without trying to scare him into being afraid to leave the house.Life isn’t all good，and while I try to shield him from the evil in this world，it’s important that I also teach him about it so that he is well armed if something bad happens to him－which I pray never happens.【文章大意】作者就两个孩子独自上学而被害这一事件进行思考：如何在让孩子独立和保持安全之间寻找平衡？1．According to the passage，what is becoming more and more difficult?A．How to allow children to spread their wings and become independent.B．How to keep dangers off children and do what is best for children.C．How to let children become independent and keep them safe at the same time.D．How to prevent teens from murdering children who are younger.解析：选C。
