Peter was a boy of 14. His parents went to gambling day and night. Nobody cared about him. He always failed in his exams. So his teachers didn’t like him, and nor did his classmates play with him.
Peter often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.
One day, Miss Jerry, a new teacher, came to Peter’s class. She was a smiling, beautiful woman. Peter was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teachers; yet, still he failed.
It was Miss Jerry’s class. She was asking a question. “I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question.” Then she said loudly, “Peter, please!”
Peter was surprised. And he stood up without a word.
“Just try it! I believe you can!”
After school, Miss Jerry had a long talk with Peter. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.
Peter thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jerry helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Peter, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart in it.”
Later, Miss Jerry gave another exam. Peter did it with all his heart. He was very excited to find that he had passed the exam. Now Peter discovered that not only could he learn well, but he could do it well. A change took place in Peter’s heart.

Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what was the best way to celebrate. Should we throw her a party ? Should we take her on a trip ? We remembered that she had touched so many people’s lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute（獻禮）to my grandmother.
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother’s address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response（回應(yīng)）surprised us. We compiled（編輯）these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother’s friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother’s life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one’s lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.
小題1:How did the author’s family celebrate Grandmother’s birthday ?
A．They took her on a trip across the country.
B．They gave her a memory book of friendship.
C．They invited all her friends to her birthday party.
D．They asked all her friends to send her cards.
小題2:When receiving her birthday gift, the author’s grandmother probably felt _____.
A．disappointed and lonelyB．sorry and sad
C．surprised and pleasedD．nervous and excited
小題3:According to the passage, the author probably agrees that _____.
A．the more friends you have, the better
B．friends are more important than family
C．understanding leads to greater success
D．true friendship is very important to us
小題4:Which of the following words can best describe the author’s grandmother ?

Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on 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 sadness, or loneliness(孤獨) or regret or anger or fear.
These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot 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 want 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(指導(dǎo)).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
小題1:Which sentence best express the central point of the passage?
A．Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.
B．We become stronger by facing and solving problems of life.
C．Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.
D．People like to complain about their problems.
小題2:The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ___.
A．save spaceB．persuade readers
C．make readers laughD．get readers’ attention
小題3:The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _________.
A．most people feel life is easy
B．the writer feel life is easy
C．the writer likes to complain about his problems
D．most people complain about how hard their lives are
小題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 problems
C．help them learn to deal with pain
D．teach them how to respect problems
小題5:The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests   that ______.
A．we do not learn from experience
B．we do not learn when we are in pain
C．pain teaches us important lessons
D．pain cannot be avoided
