题文

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my hou to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exerci that the hill provided. My attitude to the hill has now changed. I ud to grumble as I approached it but now I tell mylf the following. This hill will exerci my heart and lungs. It will help me to lo weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort mylf with the thought of all tho silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exerci bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill. Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ea and quiet. only through experiences of trial and suffering can vision be cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.” One of the key factors of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own. While we cannot choo the adversity we can choo our attitude towards it. Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonn. Make up your mind, and you’ll never u crutches (拐杖) or a stick, and then have a go at evening. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.” The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depresd. They cho their attitude. They cho to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.小题1:The underlined word “grumble” in the cond paragraph is clost in meaning to ________.A．trembleB．complainC．speed up D．slow down小题2:Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A．Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exerci.B．People are wi to pay to go to the gym.C．Tho who want to achieve success can’t expect to live an easy life.D．People’s attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.小题3:By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “________”.A．Failure is the mother of success.B．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.C．If you venture nothing, you will have nothing.D．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.小题4:Following this passage, the author will further talk about ________.A．how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB．what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceC．what great people have in commonD．why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity小题5:Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A．Face adversity with a smileB．Different attitudes towards adversityC．Nothing is impossibleD．Life is full of adversity 题型：未知难度：其他题型
