　　Life Is a Test. It Is Only a Test

　　One of my favorite posters1 says, “ Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life you would have been instructed where to go and what to do.” Whenever I think of this humorous bit of wisdom2, it reminds me to not take my life so seriously.

　　When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to discover more about life. Whether you're being bombarded(攻击;质问) with problems,responsibilities,even insurmountable(不能克服的，不能超越的) difficulties, when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you. If, on the other hand, you see each new issue you face as a serious battle that must be won in order to survive, you're probably in for a very rocky6 journey. The only time you're likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right. And we all know how often that happens.

　　As an experiment, see if you can apply this idea to something you are forced to deal with. Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents or you have a demanding7 boss. See if you can redefine the issue you face from being a “ problem” to being a test. Rather than8 struggling with your issue, see if there is something you can learn from it. Ask yourself, “ Why is this an issue in my life? What would it mean and what would be involved to rise above it? Could I possibly look at this issue any differently? Can I see it as a test of some kind?”

　　If you give this strategy a try you may be surprised at your changed responses. It has become far more acceptable to me to accept things as they are.

　　5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

　　D.Life Is Only A Test

　　试题精析：

　　1.选B.本题为观点态度推断题。文中第一段第一句说作者“最喜欢的标语上写着：生活是个测验”，这句话暗示了作者的生活态度。

　　2.选C.本题为主要细节正误题。第二段第一句说“you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow”，选项C与其意思一致。

　　3.选A.本题为文章细节正误题。第二段第二句“……in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you”中的“rise above”与A选项中的“overcome”相呼应。

　　4.选D.本题为主要细节正误题。A选项与题干无关;C选项过于牵强;D选项在文中并无相应论述;从第三段第二句“Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents……”可知，B选项正确。

　　5.选D.本题为主旨归纳题。A选项只在文章开头出现，后面就未再提及;B选项与原文意思相反;C选项和D选项相比，后者更加切题。
