A Full-Time School Called Life
You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will he the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you he designed them as part of your curriculum．
Why are you here？ What is your purpose？ Humans he sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors he overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you trel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life．
[3][4]5[6][7]
As you trel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t he to face, while other spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you．
The challenge here, therefore, is toalign(与……保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed he a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the comparing phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger．
48. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized？
A.Hing the same opinions as others.
B.Taking the distinct path from others.
C.Learning the lessons presented to you.
D.Doing the different things from others．
49. From the passage we can conclude__________．
A.everyone has his own track to follow
B.the same things usually happen to the peers
C.a painful divorce must lie in financialproblems
D.a wealthy man must he a wonderful marriage
50. Life is called a full-time school, because__________．
A.it is full of all lessons to learn
B.you he plenty of time to learn lessons
C.you meet with specific lessons every day
D.there are so many subjects for you to choose
Ⅳ. 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并所读内容在文章后表格空格里填入最恰当的单词。
Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably(必定教育论文地) to achievement？ If so, exactly what is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it？
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
[3][4][5]6[7]
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success．
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businesan puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it？ The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes this to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes．
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Whosomeday．

A Full-Time School Called Life
You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will he the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you he designed them as part of your curriculum．
Why are you here？ What is your purpose？ Humans he sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors he overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you trel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life．
[3][4]5[6][7]
As you trel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t he to face, while other spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you．

You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed he a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the comparing phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger．

Ⅳ. 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并所读内容在文章后表格空格里填入最恰当的单词。
Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably(必定教育论文地) to achievement？ If so, exactly what is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it？
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
[3][4][5]6[7]
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success．
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businesan puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it？ The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes this to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes．
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Whosomeday．
