解析试题分析:此题重点考查hard和hardly的区别。hard有形容词和副词两种性质,形容词:是努力的 辛苦的 困难的 硬的,副词是努力地 猛烈地 ; hardly是副词的意思:几乎不 表示否定的意思,根据语境可知此句的含义是他努力地听,但是他几乎什么也没听到,故选D。
考点:考查hard和hardly的区别
点评:此题很容易让学生混淆,很多学生认为hardly是形容词hard的副词形式。Hardly虽然是副词但其含义并不是坚硬的,困难的,而是几乎不得意思。Hard即可做形容词也可作副词表示困难的,坚硬的。

Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.

People often complain they face too many problems. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.
People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems..... the list goes on. And we usually think that people who are happy and successful are having fewer problems than us. Look at the successful people we often mention. They have money they need, they have jobs they love, they have good friends, they have obedient(孝顺的) kids, they have the successful business, they have loving families etc. Everything goes well with them. That is why they are happy and successful. But in fact, the more successful you are, the more problems you have to face. More success means more challenges they have to face, and more success means more risks they have to take.
Young and old, rich and poor, successful and unsuccessful, educated and uneducated, all have problems. The difference is that their problems are different from each other.  Rich and successful have big problems. Poor and unsuccessful have small problems. Still they all have problems which they can face. Successful people are successful just because they are ready to face challenges larger than ordinary people.
Winning the US elections(选举) makes Obama very happy. As a new US president, he has to face bigger challenges. He has to be more careful about his work he does, or he will lose his position(位置). Looking at him, we may say he is lucky, happy and successful. But, I think, as the US president, he has more pressure than an ordinary person.
【小题1】You will be a/an ______ person if you are afraid to face more challenges.

A.ordinaryB.successfulC.famousD.educated
【小题2】From this article we know that President Obama ______.
A.has fewer problemsB.was born in a rich family
C.takes more risksD.is a successful businessman
【小题3】The main idea of this article is _______.
A.why poor people are always poor
B.how many problems people usually have to face
C.how lucky and happy President Obama is
D.how to deal with problems in life
