　　Some people who find themselves facing a problem react by just giving up．But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures．You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through：meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities．

　　If you are unhappy about something, face it．Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against．Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness．

　　In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem．But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack．

　　For example, a boy wanted to be a debater(辩论家)．When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless．He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture(体态)was poor．Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate．He studied successful speakers and evaluated his own weaknesses and advantages．Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly．By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state．He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem．

　　Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic(现实的)in judging situations．Sometimes it is necessary to change either the method or the goal．

　　A boy who wants to be a great football player may not be too strong and not quite fast enough for football．In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him．However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports．

　　A girl who is not good-looking may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further．In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal．

　　So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do．

(1)

From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________．
[　　]
A．	not all people will meet the problems that they can't solve
B．	not all people can solve the problems that they meet
C．	all people will not give up finding the solutions to problems

(2)

The underlined phrase “are up against” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by ________．
[　　]
A．	are dealing with
B．	are faced with
C．	meet with
D．	look after

　　Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers．However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find．In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction．In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education．Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed“to give children a good start academically”as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools．In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices．To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group．The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents．

　　Like in America, there is diversity(多样性)in Japanese early childhood education．Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development．In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools．Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities．Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens．

　　In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.

　　Most children go to public elementary (初小) and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly (直接地) for their children's education because tax (税)money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private (私立) school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.

　　Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the governments. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive. However, almost half of the colleges students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family isn't rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.

阅读理解：

　　Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．
[　　]
A．	the differences between robots and men
B．	the reason why men need to sleep
C．	about the need for robots to save power
D．	about the danger of men working at night

(2)

Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________．
[　　]
A．	keep up a regular pattern of life
B．	prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C．	avoid danger and inefficient labour
D．	restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．
[　　]
A．	are worrying about our safety
B．	are overworked
C．	are in a tent
D．	are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．
[　　]
A．	need more time for restoration
B．	are unlikely to be attackers
C．	axe more active than homes when they are awake
D．	spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．
B．	The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．
C．	Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．
D．	The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．
