【题目】Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people will think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (贡献) to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

【题目】What do you think of open-book exams? Do you have anything to say about this kind of exam? Here are several opinions about open-book exams from some students and their teacher.

May

We students have so many burdens (负担) in our school life. Maybe the examination is the greatest one. Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter I think. At least it means that we need not learn so many things by heart any more.

Hill

Open-book exams do not mean students do not need to recite (背) the textbooks any more. Instead it shows how much students really understand about the textbook. It may mean we need to spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks.

Sun

We need a long time to learn for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good even if we have spent a long time studying. But if we are able to take textbooks into our exams we will save time and we won’t have so many headaches.

Tang (teacher)

Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do not need to understand the textbooks any longer. They only depend on the textbooks and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams. Sometimes they might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much time looking for answers.
