单选题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 represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us 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 endless serious of problems, life is always difficulties and is full of pain as well as joy. Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When' we desire 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 resolve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

单选题That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life bad become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me: I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Lily Smith?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an aroused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, trot I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
单选题B Of all the sciences, only two are subjects that have a direct (直接的) and noticeable effect on our lives every day. One is meteorology, the study of weather. Heat, cold, sun and rain affect us in many ways—in the kind of clothing we wear, for example, and the types of activities we do outdoors. Economics is the other science that affects the everyday lives of all of us. Each time we spend money, or it is spent on us, we are contributing (贡献) the economic life of our country and, in fact, of the world. Most people have a basic understanding of the weather, but how many people feel comfortable with the subject of economics? Often, economics seems to be a mysterious (神秘的) subject. Newspapers and television use terminology (术语学) that can resemble (像;类似) a foreign language. They speak of the gross national product, the cost of living, the prime rate, the money supply, productivity, the unemployment rate, the balance of payments, and so forth. In some ways, economics is like an enormous jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). Each piece is basic, but the pieces interconnect, one to another, in a large picture. To look at the whole picture, you must begin piece by piece.

The celebration of Kwanzaa began on
December 26, 1966 and was developed by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga. Kwanzaa is not a
religious celebration. It is a festive and joyous celebration of the goodness of
life. It is celebrated by more than 20 million people in the United States,
Canada, England, the Caribbean, and Africa. Kwanzaa celebrates the African
American heritage, pride, family, community, and culture. The seven-day
celebration begins the day after Christmas and ends on New Year's Day.
The word "Kwanzaa" means first fruits in Swahili. The celebration takes it
roots from the African first-fruit harvest celebrations. There
are seven principles of the Kwanzaa celebration: unity, serf-determination,
collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity,
and lastly faith. The seven principles are celebrated by
activities which include singing, dancing, poetry, drumming, other music and
feasting. One major ritual of Kwanzaa is the lighting of a candle on each of its
seven days. The candles called "mishumaa" are the colors of the Black Liberation
Flag. There are three red candles, three green candles, and one black candle.
The candle holder is called a "kinara". Families at Kwanzaa
celebrate the accomplishments of the members of their family during the year,
remember their ancestors, commit themselves to working harder to achieve their
goals during the coming year, and to unifying the
family.
