television when she won the honor of miss teen usa 2004. are you ready? is what she heard. then she said, i shook my head no, and then they said yes and it was announced again. it was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from destrehan, louisiana-she was still on cloud nine i was so shocked! i never believed that it could actually really happen. present in the audience（观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, at asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）shes always been my role modelive danced with her since i was six. shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. ive learned to get over bad lifes experiences and learned how to move on because of her.one of those bad lifes experiences for shelley happened three years ago when her brother brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. he was 18. she found writing helped her get through the rough days. she said, i write a lot about my brother. i write a lot, a lot, a lot.”as miss louisiana teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens（青少年）about the dangers of drinking and driving. in her role as miss teen usa, sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to

to the teens?a. be yourself with the support of friends.bmeet friends whenever possible.c. go easy on yourself and others.d. have a good role model.clife is difficultthis 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. 50. from the passage, it can be inferred that _. a. everybody has problems b. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life c. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain d. people like to complain about their problems 51. the writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. a. save space b. persuade readers c. make readers laugh d. get readers attention 52. the main idea of paragraph 3 is that _. a. most people feel life is easy b. the writer feels life is easy c. the writer likes to complain about his problems d. most people complain about how hard their lives are 53. according to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_. a. encourage them to learn b. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem c. help them learn to deal with pain d. teach them how to respect from problems 54. the saying from benjamin franklin “those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _. a. we do not learn from experienceb. we do not learn when we are in painc. pain teaches us important lessonsd. pain cannot be avoidedd “what is the most important thing youve done in your life?”the question was put to me during a presentation i gave to a group of lawyers. the answer came to me in an instant. its not the one i gave, because the situation was not right. as a lawyer in the entertainment industry, i knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people. but heres the true answer: the most important thing ive ever done occurred on october 8,1990. i began the day playing tennis with an old friend i hadnt seen for a while. between points we talked about what had been happening in each others lives. he and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night. while we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts. it was my friends father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital. in a flash my friend was in the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust. for a moment i just stood there, paralyzed(呆若木鸡). then i tried to figure out what i should do. follow my friend to the hospital? there was nothing i could accomplish there, i convinced myself. my friends son was in the care of doctors and nurses, and nothing i could do or say would affect the outcome. be there for moral support? well, maybe. but my friend and his wife both had large families, and i knew theyd be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened. all i could do at the hospital, i decided, was to get in the way. also, i had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. so i decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later. as i started my car, i realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. i now faced another problem. i couldnt leave the keys in the truck. so i decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys. when i arrived, i was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting. as i had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. i went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. soon a doctor appeared. he approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died. for a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence. after they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son. my friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families. when they reached the door, my friend saw me standing in the corner. he came over and hugged me and started to cry. my friends wife hugged me, too, and said , “thanks for being here.” for the rest of that morning, i sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye. its the most important thing i have ever done. the experience taught me two lessons. first: the most important thing ive ever done happened when i was completely helpless. none of the things i had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation. something terrible was happening to people i cared about, and i was powerless to change the outcome. all i could do was standing by and watching it happen. and yet it was critical that i do just that- just be there when someone needed me. second: the most important thing ive done almost didnt happen because of things i had learned in classroom and pro
