A
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend(超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.  Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems

His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later, the paper was still in the boy’s nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

The boy’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May. May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.

科目：高中英語 來源：廣西自治區(qū)模擬題 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀理解。
     A boy was born to couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy
was the apple of their eyes. When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,
preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
     The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened
to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages (劑量). When the child fell down, the mother
hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was unconscious. She was terrified how to face
her husband.
      When the distraught (心煩意亂的) father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
his wife and uttered just four words.
     What do you think those four words were? The husband just said,"I love you, darling".
     The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive (積極主動的) behavior. The child is dead. He
can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he
have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had
also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her. 
     Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a
job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by
giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world
to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness.
     If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
are actually not as difficult as you think.
1. The meaning of the underlined phrase is ____.
A. an adult
B. a healthy boy
C. the love of the parents
D. a naughty boy
2. Why was the mother terrified to face the husband?
A. Because she was afraid of her husband.
B. Because she thought that was her fault.
C. Because she poisoned her son herself.
D. Because she wanted to kill herself.
3. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Be careful to do everything.
B. Forgive what you shouldn't forgive.
C. Treasure what you have now.
D. Envy can mislead the way you go.
4. Which column of a paper can we find this article?
A. Financial aid to students.
B. Grand view of science.
C. Enjoying the countryside view.
D. Life and society.
