阅读下列短文,从每小题的选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。(共15小题,每小题1.5分)
A
School is starting soon. Last year I bullied(欺负) a boy. (I'm a girl.) I attacked him even though he's stronger because I knew he wouldn't hit a girl. I want to apologize but I don't know how. I feel bad for doing this. He doesn't trust me. How should I show him I have changed ---Lily
Firstly, be proud of yourself for changing. It's not easy to admit (承认) that you bullied someone or to stop once you start. Offering an apology to someone you bullied is a great first step toward starting over. If you can, tell him, "I want to apologize for my actions last year." Speaking from the heart can help. Tell him, "I feel really bad for what I did. It's been on my mind all summer." People who are bullied often have difficulty trusting others, especially the people who bullied them in the past. So don't expect the other person to accept your apology. Secondly, be patient. It will take time. You've probably heard that "actions speak louder than words". So after offering words of an apology, you then need to show him that you've really changed: be kind and helpful to him. Thirdly, you can remember: first, what you're doing takes courage and you can be proud of the fact that you are taking real steps to change. Second, whatever happens, you're building some good skills and learning more about yourself and the kind of person you want to be.

“Why do I live Why do I wish for anything, or do anything Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death ” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough, so he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published, and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life, but soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So, in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.

Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 26 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念) Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 27 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”.
28
After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 29 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
30 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.”
A.There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).
B.Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition.
C.To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.
D.They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.
E.On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone.
F.Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育).
