Question

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange（排列） the 26 English letters in order(顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark（分数）. Knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can’t , either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度）. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to（导致） different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive（积极的） attitude towards failure（失败）, you’ll find it’s also rewarding（有益的）though it has caused you losses（损失）.

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是生活中到底什么才是最重要的，努力？知识？还是运气？作者通过一个有趣的游戏告诉我们，其实我们对待生活的态度才是最重要的。

1.细节理解题。根据短文的第二段中可知，作者让我们按照英语字母表的顺序，用数字1,2，3…来代替他们，h是第八个字母，因此代替它的是数字8.故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据短文第二段和第三段中的内容可知，我们按照字母表的顺序，用数字代代替每一个字母，再把单词中每个字母相对应的数字相加起来，hard-work是98分，knowledge 是96分，love 是54分，luck是47分，而attitude是100分。由此可知，态度是最重要的。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据短文的大意，我们把money这个单词中每个字母所对应的数字相加起来可知，13+15+14+5+25=72分。故应该选B。

4.细节理解题。根据短文最后一段中It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes.可知，如果我们改变态度，我们就可能有更好的生活。因此如果我们在生活中遇到问题，最好的办法是改变我们的态度。故选C。

5.细节理解题。根据短文的最后In the same way, if you take a positive（积极的） attitude towards failure（失败）, you’ll find it’s also rewarding（有益的）though it has caused you losses可知，如果我们用积极的态度对待失败，我们就可以从中发现对我们有益的事情。故选B。
