【推荐1】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”。

Reading Lu Xun’s works has become common memories of Chinese students. From a young age, we start to study his articles such as From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study and My Old Home.

This year marks the 140th anniversary (周年纪念) of the great writer’s birth.

Born on Sept 25, 1881, his real name is Zhou Shuren. He went to Japan to study medicine as his father died of an illness. But seeing the dark sides of Chinese society of the early 20th century, he decided to pick up a pen instead of a scalpel (手术刀).

He spent his whole life telling thoughtful stories, trying to open up the eyes of Chinese people. For example, The Kong Yiji Story criticized (批判) the exam-based education system. A Mad Man’s Diary pointed out that the old society was a “man-eating” one.

So many years has passed. What do young people think of him? That’s the question we asked for this month’s Young World.

“His life experiences really encouraged me a lot as he changed his dream to save the country,” said Zhao Zhihan, 13, from Beijing. “When we make choices, we should consider what they are for.”

“Lu Xun’s works still have a meaning today,” another man named Mian told us. “His thoughts force you to think. Reading an article by him is more meaningful than reading tons by nobodies.” Mian explained.

1. This article not only gives us a general introduction to Lu Xun but also mentions his influences by showing two interviewees’ opinions.

5. Mian thinks reading tons of works by nobodies is as meaningful as reading Lu Xun’s works.
