Unit 2 Robots 阅读理解A(2018浙江金、丽、衢十二校高三联考)Life is not always easy. One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lie in bed and hide from everything.People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you through the most beautiful path youve known, but sometimes the same people let go of your hand without warning, and you bee stranded at a place where you never thought youd feel lost.Lets be honest, sometimes everything is going so great and it seems like nothing could go wrong, but right when you begin to think that, something so horrible es crashing down and all of a sudden more problems e drowning around you and you just feel so hopeless because its so bad.Its so hard to understand why such things happen in life, and I personally wish I had an answer to that “why” you always ask yourself, but all I can say is no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep going. The life around you will never stop going on.Ill be honest and say that sometimes I feel a little bit worried and all I can think is “Will I be able to keep up? What if everything goes too fast？” But I realize that being scared and living with that burden of running away from problems only slow me down even more.And Ive e to the point where I believe that because life never stops, I shouldnt stop either. Its okay to take a break and to give yourself time to heal, but you cannot give up and you cannot quit.Keep positive, fill your heart with gratitude for what you already have, and always remind yourself to be humble and true to who you are!【解题导语】本文讲述了生活的不易，告诫人们要保持积极的心态，心中充满感激，要谦虚。1How does the author illustrate “Life is not always easy”？ABy making parisons.BBy using some famous sayings.CBy presenting his own experience.
