阅读理解KongZi,alsocalledConfucius(551-47

C) lived only a hundred years apart , and during their lifetimes there was no contact （联系）between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers（哲学家） came from shaped their ideas , and how these ideas in turn ,shaped their societies.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:” Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.1.Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common,B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.2.Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .A.all men were equal when they were bornB.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper classC.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdomD.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to3.What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A.Family.B.Potential（潜力）.C.Knowledge.D.Community.
