the opportunity to learn lessons. you may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.why are you here? what is your purpose? humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. what we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. the meaning of life is different for every individual.each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone elses. as you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. the lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life. as you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others dont have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you dont need to deal with. you may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. the only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you. the challenge here, therefore, is to align(与保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. this is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. but, remember, dont compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. you need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.our sense of fairness is the expectation of equitythe assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. everyones circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. if you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of “its not fair ”. focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. you miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.1. according to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?ahaving the same opinions as others. btaking the distinct path from others.clearning the lessons presented to you. ddoing the different things from others.2. from the passage we can conclude _.aeveryone has his own track to follow bthe same thing usually happens to the peersca painful divorce must lie in financial problems da wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage3. in your lifetimes, the lessons you are faced with _.aare beyond your power bkeep you from growthclimit your development dhelp you with your success4. which of the following is true?aall things are equal and justice will always prevail.byou should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.cone has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.dthe teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school.5. life is called a fulltime school, because _.ait is full of all lessons to learn byou have plenty of time to learn lessonscyou meet with specific lessons every day dthere are so many subjects for you to choose from*结束beijingapple inc. is one step closer to beginning sales of ipad 2 tablet

their parents. most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. they become dropouts.it is surprising that though most japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. to make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.many japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.1. “dropouts” are those who _.a. make troubles in and out of schoolsb. go about or stay home instead of being at schoolc. try hard but always fails in the examsd. lose hope and give up some of their subjects2. according to the passage, its necessary to teach students _.a. how to study wellb. how to get on with othersc. to show love and care for othersd. all above3. which of the following can be the best title of the passage?a. the trouble in japanese schoolsb. the problems of japanese studentsc. education in japand. the pressures on the students in japan 【答案与解析】这是一篇关于日本学生所受到的沉重的压力的文章。家长的过高期望，日本学校严格的制度都使得一些学生丧失了上学的兴趣，甚至不懂得如何和他人相处。1. b。词义锖测题。根据 such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer(这样的学生觉得他们被所有认识的人讨厌，他们不想再去学校)可推知答案为 b。2. d。细节题。由第2段的最后一句我们知道：they only help the students to pass the exam，所以 teach students how to study well 是必要的，而第3段最后一句也说 no one taught them how to get on with others，即a、b、c皆是正确的，故选 d。3. d。主旨题。这是文章主旨题。由全文看来，每一段都脱离不了“学生所受到的压力”这个中心，所以“日本学生的压力”是最适合的标题。*结束阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。afat and shy, ben saunders was the last kid in his class picked for
