became a successful businessman. when asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, because my father was a drunk. however, the successful businessmans answer was also because my father was a drunk. when asked why he succeeded.” the same background. the same upbringing (培养). however, the results were quite different. why? the reason is that they had different choices. the brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.there was a time in my life when i thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. have you ever heard the saying “when it rains, it pours”? that was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when i was in trouble. so what do you think i got? “rain”. more and more “rain”. i couldnt understand why bad luck was always with me.pam golden says, “youre either living in the problem or youre living in the solution.” now, when im faced with what i used to think was a negative (消极的) situation, i use a different way to think about it. i force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. sometimes i write down some ideas that may be a solution, which i combine with the lessons i have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, i find a solution to the problem soon. it seems that i should thank the difficulty i met with. the rain that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which i can benefit.now, it doesnt “rain” as much in my life as it used to. in fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! sometimes i do get a rain, but i think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.27. the example of the twin brothers shows that _a. making good choices is the most important. b. education decides a persons future.c.

are easy. b. meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing.c. fortune is what it takes to succeed d. things at the worst will mend.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, its hard to beat running. after all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet. 31 if youre not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss. 32 when comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. in a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.running is time-efficient. even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33 running is convenient. though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal（武器，装备） of gps gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. you can do it alone. you can do it almost anywhere. 34 for this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because its cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.two words: runners high. 35 fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal levelrunning can actually get you high. scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hard run. that happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?a. form the good habit of running.b. running works even when youre at rest.c. you will never stick to a habit if you dont like it.d. the first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you dont enjoy it, you wont stick with it.e. you dont need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.f. if youre already a runner, keep on.g. most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.三、 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，
