There is a story telling of a religious master who is said to be capable of moving mountains. A man came to him asking for a demonstration (证明). The master sat in front of a mountain for a moment, then went to the other side of it and declared the end of the demonstration. All the audiences were greatly puzzled and begged him for an explanation. He said, “There has been a way of moving mountains; what you can do is to go to the mountain if it doesn’t come.”
One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.
A painful retrospection (回顾) brought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time exchanging experience and skills in painting. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
71.What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
A.A lot of care and the right soil. B.Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C.Tomato plants grown alongside. D.Cages placed around the roots.
72.The writer planted the tomato because _________.
A.it cost only $1.25 B.the soil was just right for it
C.there was room for it in the garden D.the roses’ branches needed to be covered
73.This year the writer’s roses were __________.
A.removed from the rose bed B.picked along with the tomatoes
C.mostly damaged by too much sunlight D.largely hidden under the tomato plant
74.By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.
A.show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
B.show the hardship of growing the roses
C.express her liking for the roses D.express her care for the tomatoes
75.In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.
A.the roses cost the writer little money
B.the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
C.someone will help the writer make the decision
D.the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
查看习题详情和答案>>This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend(超越) 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.
【小题1】From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.
| 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 |
| A.save space | B.persuade readers |
| C.get readers’ attention | D.make readers laugh |
| A.teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem |
| B.encourage them to learn |
| C.help them learn to deal with pain |
| D.teach them how to respect from problems |
| A.most people feel life is easy |
| B.most people complain about how hard their lives are |
| C.the writer feels life is easy |
| D.the writer likes to complain about his problems |

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seems to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other. The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.
At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species? If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.
The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell. Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.
Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.
There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model. (词数206)
A. The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峡蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees.
B. The larger insect has a wingspread (翼长) of up to four inches.
C. The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.
D. Birds protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.
E. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic(保护色).
F. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family?
G. Do you like this kind of special species?
