16、helped many people learn about nature, the world, and human beings.Confuciuss social philosophy largely centers around the concept of “ren”, which is “loving others” and “honoring ones parents”. Those who have developed “ren” are “simple in manner and slow of speech”. For Confucius, such concern for
17、 others is proved through the practice of the Golden Rule: “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.”Confucius thinks a good ruler was to have “de” or “virtue” which allows one to win peoples support without using any force and keep good order in his state without troubling himself, a
18、nd that a ruler should rule his people by his own example and treat them with love and concern.A characteristic of Confucius thought is his emphasis (强调) on education and study. “A good teacher is someone who knows well the ways of the past and the practices of the ancients” and he also thinks “He w
19、ho learns but does not think is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy; these were handed down only through his students. Lun Yu, a book compiled(编撰)by some of his students, is considered the most dependable source of
20、information about his life and teachings. One of the historical works that he is said to have compiled and edited, The Spring and Autumn Annals, is describing Chinese history in the state of Lu from 722 to 481 BC.Since Confuciuss teachings and philosophy was so advanced, it was the education for Chi

24、 get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?A new study, led by Andrew Gallup from Princeton University and Omar Eldakar from the University of Arizona, both in the US, has indicated that yawning could be the brains natural way of regula
25、ting temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Science D.The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawne
26、d at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal
27、to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched (拉伸), which enhances blood flow and may also help cool the brain.The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amoun
28、t of time they spent outside. The longer people spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.However, the result was the opposite in winter. The numbe
29、r of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summer time.According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to better understand the way our brai
30、ns work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.12. What happens when people yawn?A. Their brains feel cooler.B. They avoid feeling bored.C. Their blood flow slows down.D. Their brains feel more energetic.13. What can we conclude from
31、the new study?A. The longer people spend outside in winter, the less they yawn.B. Yawning is designed to help the body cool down in hot weather.C.
