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 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 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(指导).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

(答案→)B 解析：生活是很艰难的。一旦我们了解并接受了它，生活就变得不再那么难了，这是一个伟大的现实。就是在这个解决问题的过程中，生活变得有意义了。正是在这些面对并解决问题的痛苦中，我们学习。本杰明·富兰克林说过：“那些事情痛苦，但是有教育意义。”就是基于此，聪明的人学着不再惧怕困难，而是去迎接解决问题的苦难。【小题1】推理判断题。全文主要讲述了有人抱怨生活的艰辛，作者也承认生活是艰难的，然而正是这种艰难的解决问题的过程使得- 生活变得更有意义。所以，从文章的最后一段第二行，When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems.可知正确的答案为B。【小题2】推理判断题。题目询问“作者只用一句话开始文章，其目的可能是什么”。写文章的目的就是解决问题，本文首先开门见山地点明问题，显然是为了吸引读者的注意力，而不是别的意思。可知正确的答案为D。【小题3】主旨大意题。由文章的第三段第一句话，Most do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy：可知。人们经常抱怨生活是多么的艰辛。所以正确的答案为D。【小题4】】事实细节题。文章的倒数第四行说到，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to resolve.所以我们让学生们做题的目的是让他们从中学习。所以本题正确的答案为A。【小题5】推理判断题。从文中It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.可知，正是通过解决问题的痛苦，我们学到了知识。所以正确的答案为C。
