Question

I told my friend Graham, "I often walk two miles from my house to the town centre. Unfortunately, there is a big hill on the way." He replied, "You should say 'fortunately’." He explained that I should be glad for the extra exercise that the hill gave.

I thought he was right. My attitude to the hill has now changed. As I approach the foot of the hill and prepare to climb, I tell myself that this hill will help me lose weight and get fit. This hill is my friend. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

Problems are to be faced. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller once wrote that "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened ..."

Our attitude towards difficulties is of importance in life. From time to time, we all face problems, accidents and difficulties. We cannot choose the situation but we can choose our attitude toward the situation.

How can you change your attitude towards difficulties? Try these steps:1. Face the problem. Do not avoid it. 2. Take a positive attitude. 3. Imagine how you will feel when you solve the problem. 4. Develop an action plan for how to deal with it. 5. Smile.

Many great people like Helen Keller, took these steps to deal with their problems. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They accepted the challenge. They won.

【解析】

試題分析：作者通過自己的經(jīng)歷來告訴讀者要勇于挑戰(zhàn)人生中的困難，不能逃避。

1.C細(xì)節(jié)推理題。第一段就講了“我”向我的朋友格拉哈姆抱怨“我”家離市中心有2英里，但就在這段途中有一座小山，這無疑加大了“我”的腳程。但是格拉哈姆卻說這是件幸運(yùn)的事情，“我”應(yīng)該感謝這小山帶給我的額外的運(yùn)動。第二段：I thought he was right. My attitude to the hill has now changed.，可知格拉哈姆幫助作者改變他的態(tài)度，故選C.

2.A細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第二段；……and prepare to climb, I tell myself that this hill will help me lose weight and get fit.（……準(zhǔn)備去爬，我告訴我自己，爬山會幫我減肥，讓身體保持健康）可知“我”到來到山腳下，A. come near接近，來到 B. look at看 C. look for尋找 D. come across 偶遇；可知A最接近approach，故選A.

3.D細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第三段海倫凱特說的那句話：Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened（堅韌的性格不可能在安靜和舒適中得到磨練，然后被養(yǎng)成。只有經(jīng)歷不斷的磨練和苦難，心靈才能堅強(qiáng)）可知作者用海倫凱特的名言來激勵自己勇于面對困難，困難可以磨練人的意志，使人變的堅強(qiáng)，故選D.
