主题：尊重校园里的非教学人员
(2023·山东济宁·校考三模改编)
短文导读：本文主要讲述了一名中学生和他的几位同学发起了一项活动，旨在让学生看到并尊重学校里的非教学人员。
阅读理解B
Would you say “Good morning!” to your school's cleaners It's a problem that many students don't respect these non-teaching workers. Ding Jiacheng wanted to make a change.
Ding, a high school student, worked on a project to make more students see and respect those non-teaching workers who play important roles in their school life. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big. It was a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems.
“My team members and I sent questionnaires(问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believed that every student should do so.”
The team also paid attention to the communication between students and workers.
“When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory (寝室) workers,” said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.”
The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about their work. Students also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding's team made videos to show staff working around the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to help them know more about each other. “We've also made a series of stickers(贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.”
“The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive influence through our creative ideas,” Ding said.
( )1. Why does the writer begin the passage by asking questions
A. To explain facts.
B. To give opinions.
C. To express disagreement.
D. To catch readers' interest.
D
( )2. Where does Ding Jiacheng come from
A. Harvard University.
B. Tsinghua University.
C. A high school.
D. A primary school.
C
( )3. What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about
A. Why many students don't follow school rules.
B. How asking questions helps students learn.
C. How Ding's team worked on their project.
D. What these non-teaching workers do in the school.
C
( )4. Which of the following did NOT Ding's team do on their project
A. They made posters.
B. They made videos.
C. They made a series of stickers.
D. They held a basketball match.

( )5. What can we learn from the passage
A. We should pay more attention to our teachers.

According to the record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27th of the lunar calendar (农历) each year, the birthday of Confucius, the emperor would go to the Confucius' Temple to show great honor to Confucius. He would also worship (敬奉)the great old teachers and invite royal (王室的) teachers to dinner. And on that day, teachers enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts. Besides, the best teachers who were chosen from the whole country would be given 500 liang silver coins each as prizes.
Normally, in ancient times, the parents paid tuition fee (学费) with money or food. Sometimes calligraphy works (书法作品), paintings as well as books may be given to the teachers as gifts.
Among all the gift-giving traditions, the first meeting gift was a must. There were many traditions when students met their teachers for the first time. Before they met their teachers, they needed to tidy themselves and get well dressed. Before giving their teachers a “gift”, they needed to kowtow (磕头)to the Confucius' picture and then to their private teachers.
Though the way we celebrate the festivals is different, the meaning of showing our thanks and respect to teachers is common.
