【解析】

本文介紹了孔子不僅是最偉大的思想家，而且是最偉大的老師。兩千多年來(lái)，孔子的思想一直存在于人們的日常生活中。作為儒家思想的創(chuàng)始人和中國(guó)歷史上偉大的文化大師，孔子已經(jīng)成為中國(guó)文化和精神的象征。

【1】句意：他不是壽命最長(zhǎng)的人，但卻是思想影響世界時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的人。

根據(jù)后文的“For more than 2,000 years, ____3____ ideas have been around in people’s everyday lives.”可知，此處表示孔子的思想影響最長(zhǎng)，位于助動(dòng)詞has后，用過(guò)去分詞，故填influenced。

【2】句意：他不僅是最偉大的思想家，而且是最偉大的老師。

not only, but (also)表示“不僅，而且”，故填but。

【3】句意：兩千多年來(lái)，孔子的思想一直存在于人們的日常生活中。

修飾名詞ideas用形容詞性物主代詞或名詞所有格，上文的“while he is the one whose thoughts”，可知，此處指的是孔子的思想，故填Confucius’ / his。

【4】句意：為什么他的想法如此受歡迎？

根據(jù)前文的“Even they have gone far into east and south Asia, people can still hear them today.”可知，他的想法都傳到東亞和南亞，因此非常受歡迎，故填popular。

【5】句意：孔子說(shuō)年輕人應(yīng)該照顧老人。

謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞take后，用名詞，take care of照顧，故填care。

【6】句意：人們應(yīng)該放棄為自己著想而為別人工作。

give up放棄，位于情態(tài)動(dòng)詞should后，作謂語(yǔ)，用動(dòng)詞原形，故填give。

【7】句意：作為一個(gè)偉大的老師，孔子說(shuō)，一個(gè)善良的人應(yīng)該嚴(yán)格要求自己。

修飾單數(shù)名詞teacher，great是輔音音素開(kāi)頭，因此用不定冠詞a修飾，故填a。

【8】句意：作為一個(gè)偉大的老師，孔子說(shuō)，一個(gè)善良的人應(yīng)該嚴(yán)格要求自己。

be strict with對(duì)……嚴(yán)格要求，故填strict。

【9】句意：善良和誠(chéng)實(shí)是當(dāng)今世界最好的行為。

根據(jù)“Confucius said that a kind person should be ____8____ with yourself.”可知，此處表示善良，根據(jù)and前后表示并列關(guān)系，and后honesty是名詞，因此and前也是名詞，故填Kindness。

【10】句意：作為儒家思想的創(chuàng)始人和中國(guó)歷史上偉大的文化大師，孔子已經(jīng)成為中國(guó)文化和精神的象征。

the+名詞+of表示“……的……”，the symbol of……的象征，故填symbol。
