Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would 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 learnt music, history, poetry and sport.
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’s lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learnt. “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.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others,” he said.

【分析】
本题为人物传记类阅读理解题，需结合原文细节，通过定位问题对应段落、对比选项、梳理逻辑顺序等方法解题。具体思路：5题定位孔子学习途径的原文；6题结合上下文猜测词义；7题梳理孔子生平事件的先后顺序；8题对比选项与原文观点，找出不符合的一项。
【解析】
5题：根据原文第二段最后一句“He visited many famous teachers and learnt music, history, poetry and sport.”可知，孔子是通过拜访多位名师学习这些内容，对应选项D。

7题：梳理原文事件顺序：③孔子3岁时父亲去世（第二段）→①童年时帮母亲工作（第二段）→④后来创办中国历史上第一所公立学校（第三段）→②一生有约3000名学生（第三段），正确顺序为③①④②，对应选项A。
8题：对比选项与原文：A、C、D均为孔子的观点；原文第四段明确指出“we all have something worthy to be learnt”，而非“只有贵族有值得学习的”，故B不是孔子的观点，对应选项B。
