Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness，failure and success，hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．
Love
Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.
Happiness and Sadness
Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．
Failure and Success
Success brings in money，fame，pride and self-respect. Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder．
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull.

試題分析：這篇短文將生活比喻成了一個(gè)包裹，這個(gè)包裹里有好的事情，也有壞的事情。有成功，也有失��；有幸福，也有悲傷；有希望，也有絕望。我們要學(xué)會(huì)應(yīng)對(duì)生活中出現(xiàn)的任何事情，以一顆平常心對(duì)待生活中黑暗的一面，并且告訴我們要把握現(xiàn)在。

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第一句話Life comes in a package可知，作者將生活比喻成一個(gè)包裹。這個(gè)包裹里有很多東西，成功與失敗、希望與絕望、幸福與悲傷。故選A。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky可知，失敗是通往成功的道路，它幫助我們觸摸到填空。由此我們可以判斷這里的it 指的就是failure，失敗。故選B。
小題3:句意猜測題。根據(jù)文章的最后部分Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.可知，明天是未知的，它可能是光明的，也可能是黑暗的。所以，我們能選擇的只有今天努力的工作，這樣我們才能享受一個(gè)更美好的明天。這幾句話是在告訴我們，我們只有今天努力了，才能換回一個(gè)美好的明天。故選B。
小題4: 主旨大意題。這篇短文將生活比喻成了一個(gè)包裹，這個(gè)包裹里有好的事情，也有壞的事情。我們要學(xué)會(huì)應(yīng)對(duì)生活中出現(xiàn)的任何事情，以一顆平常心對(duì)待生活中黑暗的一面。并且告訴我們要把握現(xiàn)在。故這篇短文的中心話題就是life，生活。故D選項(xiàng)是最佳答案。A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都太片面了。

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行證) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine.
“Where did it come from？” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (難看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
“It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
“Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
小題1: When the writer got home, ________.
A．it was December 23
B．it was snowing heavily
C．he found a Christmas tree in the living room
D．the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree for his mother
小題2: From the passage, we can conclude（推斷） that ________.
A．the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees
B．his mother didn’t like perfect trees
C．his mother didn’t want to have a tree
D．the writer wouldn’t have a tree cut by someone else
小題3:“All Christmas trees are perfect”, because they can remind you of ________.
A．the wartimeB．the green of a pine
C．the pleasant smellD．the sweet home
小題4: The best title for this passage would be “________”.
A．How to Choose a Christmas Tree
B．How Soldiers Spent Christmas
C．The Perfect Christmas Tree
D．The Christmas Without a Tree

A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.  He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"
" Nothing! " the students said.
"OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the teacher asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.
"You're right.  Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb. Have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed.
"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the teacher.
"No." the students said.
"Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle (肌肉) stress?"

It's important to think of the  challenges(挑戰(zhàn))  in your life, but it' s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed.
