Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】C

【3】F

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】试题分析：本文讲述了当我们遇见不顺利的事时，要记住的四件事，鼓励我们不要灰心丧气。

【1】G 根据本段标题No one promised life would be perfect.可知，没有人会承诺生活是完美的。故G项“如果你追求完美，那么你就会不满足现状，因为没有事情是完美的”与本段标题吻合。故G项正确。

【2】C 根据本段第一句Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.（长得慢的树才能结出最好的果实）。作者告诉我们遇见不好的事情时要有耐心。选项中只有C项“Success doesn’t happen overnight.(成功不会在一夜之间发生)”与本段中心句一致。

【3】F 根据本段第一句Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.(长得慢的树才能结出最好的果实)可知，作者告诉我们遇见不好的事情时要有耐心。所以选择F项“Remember: Rome was not built in a day.”与第一句形成呼应，都告诉我们做事要有耐心。故F项符合本段中心思想。

【4】A 根据本段的标题Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones.（不经历风雨，怎么见彩虹？）可知，有时候困难会转换成好的事情。所以A项“Don’t get sad if you lose.（如果你失败也不要难过）”与本段中心思想一致。

【5】B 根据本段标题和第一句It’s OK to cry sometimes. Do not apologize for crying.（有时候哭也没关系。我们不要为哭道歉。）也就是说哭不是懦弱的标志。有时候人是需要发泄压抑的情绪的。故B正确。
