自然界发生的瘟疫直接危及人类的生存和发展，而人类社会运行中出现的经济危机也同样威胁到人类的命运走向。阅读材料，回答问题。材料一 1918年初，第一次世界大战进入到了命运攸关的关键时刻。美军却在这时暴发了流感病毒，病毒在四个月内，就完成了向全世界传播的过程。同时病毒也在不断地变异，到了盛夏，明显突变为一种新的具有毁灭性的病毒感染。病毒的伤亡数字在战争中得到了掩护，战争双方为了维护军队士气，纷纷隐瞒疾病的流Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.” As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles. We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different. The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives. As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make you own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.【小题1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others. B．Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn. C．It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves. D．Reflecting upon other people’s strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes. 【小题2】The underlined part “this type of learning” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to_______.A．learning from other people’s mistakes B．learning from others’ experiences C．finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have D．reflecting others’ strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves 【小题3】From the fifth paragraph, we learn that _______.A．sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship B．our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes C．some reflection will help to improve ourselves D．reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life 【小题4】The passage is probably taken from __________.A．a magazine about life B．a book about travel C．an advertisement D．a research report 【小题5】What does this passage mainly talk about?A．How to improve oneself. B．How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves. C．How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life. D．How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings.
