The young couple wanted a child very much , and when they finally had a male baby , they loved him whole-heartedly . However , when the baby was less than one year old , he became sick and soon died . They young couple cried and cried and cried . They would not let anyone bury the child and asked everyone to help them find the medicine that would make their son come back to life again .The people in the village did not know that to do . They thought the young couple had gone crazy over the death of the baby . One day , a wise man came from another village and the villagers asked him for help .The wise man thought for a while and said to the couple , “I have what you are looking for . But the medicine lacks one ingredient（原料）.”“What is the ingredient ?” asked the couple anxiously , “We will find it for you !”“All I need is a handful of mustard（棕芥）seeds ,” said the wise man solwly , “but it must come from a family where no one had died . That means no child , no spouse（配偶）,and no parent died in the family .” The young couple were so anxious to bring the baby back to life that they could not think about the wise words , and set out to look for the mustard seeds .However , after months and months of searching , they came to realize that the wise mans request was impossible to fulfill .However , the young couple learned something important during their search for the mustard seeds . They saw that every family they visited had lost someone , a child , a parent , a husband or a wife . And all these people learned to go on with their lives after their family members death . The couple saw that death was part of life cycle . The familes stores and talks helped the young couple feel better , and they realized that they were not alone . But most importantly , they learned that they could continue to live a normal life after the death of their child .51. The wise man told the couple to find the mustard seeds from .A. families that had never had childrenB. families that had had never lost a loved memberC. families that had only one childD. families that were happiest52. The young couple were unable to find the mustard seeds from a fortunate family because .A. there was a draught and mustard seeds were difficult to getB. the couple did not think much about the wise mans wordsC. the searching for the ingredient took many monthsD. all of the families had experienced their relatives death53. What can we learn from the story ?A. We should always ask for others help .B. It is possible to bring a dead person back to life .C. Death is natural and is part of our life cycle .D. Happiness is the best medicine for sorrow .BIf there is any single factor that makes success in living , it is the ability to be benefited by defeat . Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually learn something form it in his nest undertaking（从事的工作）. Wrongly take defeat for failure , and you are sure indeed to fail . For it is not defeat but your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success that makes you fail .Defeats are nothing to be afraid of . They are common incident in the life of every man who achieves success . But defeat is a dead lose unless you do face it , analyze it and learn why you failed . Defeat , in other words , can help to get rid of its won cause . Not only does defeat prepare us for success , but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed . If you let a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away , he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up . It is this same reaction that should give you newer and greater strength every time you defeated . If you make full use of the power which defeat gives , you can compete with it far more than you are able to .54.
