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. 41. 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 42. 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 43. 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 44. 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 45. the saying from benjamin franklin “those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _. a. we do not learn from experience b. we do not learn when we are in painc. pain teaches us important lessonsd. pain cannot be avoidedbthree astronauts returned to earth safely on wednesday after a successful 15-day mission （任务）, marking another step forward towards the countrys goal of building a manned space station by 2020.zhang youxia, commander-in-chief of chinas manned space program, said the shenzhou x mission was a “complete success”.the shenzhou x landed safely in north chinas inner mongolia autonomous region at about 8:07 a.m. on june 26, 2013. all three astronauts were in good physical condition.nie haisheng, commander of the shenzhou x crew and a second-time space traveler, was the first to get out of the bowl-like module（舱）, followed by wang yaping, the only female astronaut of the mission, and zhang xiaoguang. during a brief welcoming ceremony held at the landing area, the astronauts waved happily to a crowd consisting of officers, the search and recovery team, and health personnel. “it feels really good to be back home,” said astronaut nie haisheng. “we are dreamers, and we have now realized our dream,” said zhang xiaoguang. “our space dream knows no limit, and our hard work will never stop,” he said. compared with its previous mission shenzhou ix last year, the shenzhou x is no longer experimental but considered an applicable shuttle（航天飞机）system for sending astronauts and supplies to orbiting modules. the mission aims to further test technologies designed for docking（对接）and supporting astronauts stay in space, as well as to use new technologies related to the construction of a space station. in its 15-day journey in space, shenzhou x docked with the orbiting space lab tiangong-1 twice, once through automatic operation and the other manual（手控的）.the tiangong-1 space lab has been in orbit for more than 600 days. its designed to work for two years. the module is considered the first step in building a permanent space station in the future. and the astronauts spent 12 days in tiangong-1, where they conducted space medical experiments, technical tests and gave a science lesson to students on earth on june 19 about basic physics principles. the lecture was the second video class sent from space, with us astronaut barbara morgans 25-minute class being the first in 2007. china is the third country after the united states and russia to acquire the technologies and skills necessary for space rendezvous（交会）and docking procedures, as well as supply manpower and material for an orbiting module via different docking methods. previous docking procedures conducted between shenzhou-type spacecraft and the orbiting space lab included two automated dockings by the unmanned shenzhou-8 in 2011 and both an automated and manual docking by the manned shenzhou-9 in 2012. since its first manned space space mission in 2003, china has sent ten astronauts and six spacecrafts into the space.46. according to the passage, the shenzhou x _. a. was sent into space on june 11, 2013 b. is still an experimental shuttle system c. sent many supplies to the manned space station d. returned to earth safely on the afternoon of june 2647. china sent the shenzhou x into space to _. a. learn how to make use of a manned space station b. prove

passage that _. a. nie haisheng is the only male astronaut of the mission b. the tiangong-1 space lab was founded in 2012 c. china is the second country to give a space class d. the tiangong-1 was mainly designed to serve shenzhou x49. what is the best title for the passage? a. china prepares for next manned mission b. shenzhou x spacecraft mission is a success c. chinas shenzhou x is now in space d. astronauts of shenzhou x mission are meeting media ca scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. some last a few minutes before they give in. but others are determined to wait until the last moment.by the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. a survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. the children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的)actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an iq test.the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. but brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.here comes the theory of daniel goleman, writer of emotional intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability measured by iq may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”eq is not the opposite of iq. what researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that iq counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.while many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear eq invites misuse.50. the experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _.a. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentb. emotional intelligence wont show up until adolescencec. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successd. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence51. which of the following is true of eq and iq according to the text?a. there is no link between eq and iq.b. the higher a persons iq is, the higher his or her eq is.c. some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.d. scientists are trying to discover the way in which eq and iq work together.52. the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 4 probably means “_”a. kind b. floating c. excited d. optimistic53. why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?a. to amuse both the children and readers.b. to prove the scientists wisdom.c. to introduce the topic of the text.d. to show us how to do an iq test.54. what is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?a. information about famous people with high eq.b. examples showing the opposite voice about eq.c. some reasons why eq is relatively new field.d. strong demands for basic emotional education. d davids haircutwhen david steps out of the front door he is blinded for a moment by the white, strong sunlight and reaches for his dads hand automatically. its the first really warm day of the year, an unexpected heat that bridges the gap between spring and summer. father and son are on their
