　　What are people eating now? People are still eating food．They haven’t yet started to take on heir(继承)supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power．They may some day．But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants．

　　Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled．The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests．The harvest is always good．

　　Farming, of course, is very highly developed．Very few people have to work on the farm．It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then．

Life is difficult

　　This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths．It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend 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．

(1)

[　　]
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

(2)

[　　]
A．	save space

[　　]
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

(4)

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

第二部分　阅读理解（共25小题，第一节第小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

     Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years
from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
     Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as
it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is
provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.
     What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may be some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green
plants.
     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
     Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible
to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
     People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the
number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in
our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to
