But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or will power (意志力).The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful of people around.Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If youre not confident，it will be hard for others to believe in you. Learn a lesson in life each day you live!（1）Who can influence your life in some ways? （2）Are unpleasant things good for you? （3）Why are bad experiences very important to you? （4）What should you do if somebody hurts you? （5）What does the writer try to tell us? 四、 阅读理解 (共2题；共20分)5. （10分）阅读理解Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.” Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the worlds fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “Its people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.（1）Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that . A . the British people hate successB . the British people are hardworkingC . love of success is Britains national characterD . they are considered as “green eyed monsters”（2）What does the result of the Warwich Universitys test show. A . Two thirds of the people tested didnt love money.B . Most people would rather fail than see others succeed.C . An imaginary amount of money does not attract people.D . Most people are willing to enjoy success with others.（3）The writer of the passage seems to suggest that . A . jealousy is Britains national characterB . British entrepreneurs are not fairly treatedC . the scientists at Warwich University did a successful testD . the entrepreneurs in the UK do not behave properly（4）The best title for this article can be . A . Be More Modest and We Will Love You MoreB . Proud EntrepreneursC . The Frenchmen are Romantic While The British are HostileD . Only Pains but No Gains6. （10分）阅读理解Ray Charles，a black singer and pianist of the USAHe had won 12 Grammy Awards （格莱美奖） and performed at 10，000 concerts around the worldMany musicians called him simplythe Genius（天才）Ray Charles was born into a poor family，without a fatherWhen he was 5 years old，his younger brother died，and around the same time，Charles started to lose his sightBy the age of 7he was completely blindHe had already been learning the piano for a year，and when he went blind，his mother knew this would be the only way he would make any money in the futureAll his life，Charles remembered her saying：Do it right，or dont do it at allLater he went to a school for blind and deaf childrenThere the teachers also encouraged him to study musicSadly，while he was still at school，his mother diedHe left school and in the early 1950s Charles organized a group of playersHe sang，played the piano and wrote musicHe made many classical CDs with famous artists such as Elton John and the BeatlesIn 2003 a film of his life Ray was madeThe part of Charles was played by a younger actor and musician called Jamie FoxxThe film director brought Foxx to meet CharlesAfter they had been playing together for two hours，Charles，then aged 73，jumped up and said：Hes the onehe can do itA year later Charles died aged 74The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charlesmusic will live on（1）What can we learn from Rays childhood story？A .
