It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. 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 nations. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, 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 endless serious problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious tests that tell 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 resolve. 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.21、 From this passage, it can be inferred that _.

Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most important American contribution(贡献) to international eating habits. The name hamburger has nothing to do with ham(火腿).

Now young people in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move; a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other. There have been cries to anger from Italy and Spain about the shortening of the usual lunch break. Instead, young people have discovered a lunch for which they dont have to stop at all. However, there are clouds over the hamburgers world. People who concern about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health.

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 31 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 32 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 33 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 34 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are of-ten used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather, The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 35 AStill, people say every dog has its day. BWe do not want it to rain cats and dogs. CSome people are compared to dogs in bad ways. DDogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people. EThere are many other expressions waiting for you to explore. FThat means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. GThey take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用英语知识运用第一节第一节 完型填空完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。In January 2009, during the first weeks of a six-month stay at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia for leukemia (白血病) treatment, Michael wandered over to his hospital window in search of relaxation.
