My dads voice was low and troubled as he tried to comfort Mother. And in their anguish, they both forgot the nearness of my bedroom. And so, I overheard them. While their problem of that time has long since been solved and forgotten, the big discovery I made that night is still right with me life is not all hearts and flowers indeed its hard and cruel for most of us much of the time. We all have troubles. They just differ in nature. Thats all. And that leads me to my first belief. I believe the human race is very, very tough-almost impossible to discourage. If it wasnt, then why do we have such words as laugh and sing and music and dance in the language of all mankind since the beginning of recorded time? This belief makes me proud to be a human being.Next, I believe in trying to be charitable, in trying to understand and forgive people, especially in trying to forgive very keen or brilliant people. A man may be a genius, you know, but he can still do things that practically break your heart. I believe most of our very finest thoughts and many of our finest deeds must be kept to ourselves alone-at least until after we die. This used to confuse me. But now I realize that by their very nature, these finest things we do and then cannot talk about are a sort of a better life to come. I believe there is no escape from the rule of life that we must do many, many little things to accomplish even just one big thing. This gives me patience when I need it most. Finally, and most important to me, I do believe in having the courage to BE YOURSELF. Or perhaps I should say. to be honest with myself. Sometimes this is practically impossible. Im sure I should always try. （1）Why does the writer mention his parents quarrel at the beginning of the passage? A . To explain his belief.B . To introduce the topic.C . To show his big discovery.D . To show the relationship between his parents.（2）What does the underlined phrase hearts and flowers refer to according to the context? A . life going without difficultiesB . difficulties and troubles in lifeC . life with hard and cruel thingsD . ups and downs in life（3）According to Paragraph 2, why does the writer say that This belief makes me proud to be. a human being? A . Because human race creates such words as laugh , sing , music and dance .B . Because human race is so tough that it is difficult to discourage.C . Because human race creates the language since the beginning of the recorded time.D . Because human race creates the language of all mankind.（4）What can you learn from Paragraph 3? A . Every man has his faults.B . God helps those who help themselves.C . Manners make the manD . You cannot judge a book by its cover（5）Which one of the following beliefs is NOT mentioned by the writer?- A . Being patient is necessary to accomplish tasks sometimesB . For some thoughts and deeds good in nature, we must keep as secrets.C . Try to forgive people unless he breaks your heart.D . Never give up the idea of being yourself.17. （10分）Joe Brown had a shop.
