The history of Teachers' Day traces back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC220 AD). According to the record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27 each year, the birthday of Confucius, the emperor would go to the Confucius' temple and pay tribute (敬意) to the ancient philosopher followed by court officials, and would also invite royal teachers to the imperial court for a banquet. On this day, teachers around the nation enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts.
The capital, all states and counties would also hold ceremonies to worship Confucius. Excellent performing teachers would be chosen from academies and learning institutions nationwide, reporting to the royal court and given 500 liang (两) silver coins as awards.
Until the Qing Dynasty, the ceremony, on August 27, was of a larger scale. The teachers' salaries in schools and academies around the nation were raised, and wellperforming teachers would be awarded official titles or promoted to higher positions.
Normally, an ancient teacher's income included salary, accommodation and festival gifts. There was no fixed tuition fee. Generally the parents paid teachers according to their household income. Both money and basic foodstuff could be paid in exchange for tuition.
In private schools, teachers always received money or gifts from the host family at certain festivals or at the beginning and end of each semester.
The festivals in which teachers received gifts varied from region to region, while the most valued ones were the Duanwu, MidAutumn and Chinese New Year festivals, as well as Confucius' birthday and the private tutor's birthday.
Among all the giftgiving festivals, the first meeting gift was a must. When students met their private tutors for the first time, they had to kneel down to Confucius' spirit tablet and then to their private tutors, before presenting a “gift”.

The people of Austria call their country Osterreich, which can be translated as “eastern realm”. The origin of the name goes back to the 10th century, when Austria was an eastern border area of the Holy Roman Empire. From this early beginning, Austria itself grew into a great empire. During the 16th century, its emperor was the ruler of about ten countries. Today Austria is a small but rich nation in Central Europe.
Religious holidays and other festivals are joyful occasions in Austria. In some religions, for example, there is an exciting festival for scaring away the winter. Weddings are very special occasions in the villages. These are days of much singing and dancing. One of the most exciting dances to watch is the Schuhplattler that in this dance the men slap their bodies while the girls twirl (旋转) around them in their bright dresses. They dance to the music of the zither or the violin. The musicians play faster and faster toward the end of the dance until the dancers are out of breath.
A favorite holiday throughout Austria is St Nicholas Day. This is the day when Saint Nicholas visits Austrian children. The night before, the children always remember to leave their shoes where Nicholas will find them. In the morning the good children find beautiful presents in their shoes, but the bad children find only pieces of mud, which means nothing to them. Krampus, a blackfaced monster who is half human and often half horse, is supposed to accompany Saint Nicholas on his travels. Bad children are especially afraid of Krampus. It is said that he carries a broom to hit very bad boys and girls.
In Austria, there are three music festivals each year that attract thousands of music lovers from all over the world. Tickets to operas, concerts, and plays in Austria are often sold out weeks in advance. Even rehearsals (排练) are usually well attended by students. When the old Vienna State Opera was bombed during World War Ⅱ, thousands of desperately poor Austrians contributed small amounts of money to repair the building.

Ⅲ.短文改错
Apologizing can be harder than realizing you've acted poor. To truly apologize to a friend, you had to be sincere and let your friend to know how much he means to you. This may be easy said than done. But if you swallow your pride and show some sincere regret, they will have a true apology ready. Besides, sending gifts can be good choice for you to make. And if you do this kind of thing instead of talk to your friend face to face, you're just hiding behind gifts. After all, gifts cannot say word like “I'm sorry”. So it is of great important to apologize in person.
答案:

After all, gifts cannot say like “I'm sorry”. So it is of great to apologize in person.
1.poor→poorly 考查副词。句意:向朋友道歉比意识到自己的行为有多糟糕更难。应用副词修饰动词,故将poor改为poorly。poorly “糟糕地,差强人意”。
2.had→have 考查动词的时态。本文的基本时态是一般现在时,且此处说明的是一般的事理,亦应用一般现在时,故将had改为have。
3.去掉know前的to 考查非谓语动词。let sb. do sth.是固定用法,意为“让某人做某事”。故to多余。
4.easy→easier 考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的“than”可知,此处应用比较级形式easier。
5.they→you 考查代词。此处指你将准备好一个真正的道歉。故将they改为you。
6.good前加a 考查冠词。句意:送礼物也是你能做的一个不错的选择。choice “选择”是可数名词。其前无限定词修饰,且此处表示泛指,故应用不定冠词a。
7.And→But 考查连词。由前面的“a good choice”和后面的“you're just hiding behind gifts”可知,前后句之间是转折关系,而不是顺承关系,故应用转折连词But。
8.talk→talking 考查非谓语动词。instead of “而不是”,of是介词,其后应用名词、代词或者动名词作宾语。故将talk改为talking。
9.word→words 考查名词的单复数。句意:毕竟,礼物不能说像“我很抱歉”这样的话。word作“话语”讲时是可数名词,其前无限定词修饰,应用复数形式。
10.important→importance 考查名词。句意:因此亲自去道歉很重要。be of+名词=be+名词相应的形容词形式。故将important改为importance。
