Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to
27、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 fife difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us sadne
28、ss 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 problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has
29、 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 p
30、roblems that we learn.

33、ems to solve in order to _.Aencourage them to learnBteach them to fear the pain of solving the problemChelp them learn to deal with painDteach them how to respect from the problem（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct“ suggests that _.Awe do not lear

This is 15 million a year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the li
42、ves of half of these children. The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost. The biggest task has been to inform parents about these life-saving techniques.Diarrhea (腹泻) is the main cause of deaths among children in developing countries. Diarrhea results when the body tries to
43、clear itself Of harmful bacteria (细菌). The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably. If too much water, sugar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work normally. The child may die.The United Nations International Childrens Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique. It use
44、s a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water. The mixture does not stop diarrhea. But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid (体液) levels normal until the body has fought off the harmful bacteria. In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a childrens health care program in the province of Al
45、exandria. It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea. The technique has now been used throughout the country.（分数：3.00）(1).According to the passage, a large number of children can be saved only when _.Athe life-saving ways are medically effectiveBtheir parents are rich enough for

48、aten by people in every corner of the world every day. Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most important American contribution (贡献) to international eating habits.The name “hamburger“ has nothing to do with ham (火腿).
