It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. __1. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (stand for) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
__2. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.__3.
__4. When we desire（希望） to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we ncourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. __5. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct" (应该从痛苦艰辛中学习和获得指示。). It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. （words: 171）
A．Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.
B．Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn（谴责） us for failing.
C．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.
D．Yet, it is in this whole process（过程） of solving problems that life has its meaning.
E. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.
F. We don’t know how to make money and participate(join) in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups.

The modern mobile phone is a more complex version of the two way radio, which was a very limited means of communication. As soon as the users moved out of range of each other’s broadcast area, the signal was lost. In the 1940s, researchers began experimenting with the idea of using a number of radio masts (天线塔) standing around the countryside to pick up signals from two-way radios.
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modern mobile handset. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modern cities began to feature sharpsuited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became synonymous (等于) with the “yuppie”, the new breed of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us swore that we would never, ever own a mobile phone.
But in the mid-90s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 80s had evolved into smooth little objects that fitted nicely into pockets and bags. Cities suddenly had a new, postmodern birdsong.
Alexander Graham Bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: “That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.”
60．Modern mobile phone technology is based on .
A．the “yuppie” B．the Internet
C．the two way radio D．global positioning system
61．More people bought mobile phones in the 1990s because .
A．they were bad at timekeeping
B．they wanted to take photographs
C．mobile phones became a lot cheaper
D．traditional phones didn’t work anymore
62．The underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A．broken B．changed C．cut D．taken
63．What does the text message “Gr 8! Will call U 2nite.” mean?
A．Great ! I’ll call you tonight.
B．Great! I’ll be two minutes late.
C．Great! Please call William tonight.
D．Great! Please call me sometime tonight.
