Question

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.

Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.

Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

【解析】

1.细节理解题。根据文章的第一句话Life comes in a package可知，作者将生活比喻成一个包裹。这个包裹里有很多东西，成功与失败、希望与绝望、幸福与悲伤。故选A。

2.词义猜测题。根据第四段Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky可知，失败是通往成功的道路，它帮助我们触摸到天空。由此我们可以判断这里的it 指的就是failure，失败。故选B。

3.句意猜测题。根据文章的最后部分Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.可知，明天是未知的，它可能是光明的，也可能是黑暗的。所以，我们能选择的只有今天努力的工作，这样我们才能享受一个更美好的明天。这几句话是在告诉我们，我们只有今天努力了，才能换回一个美好的明天。故选B。

4.】主旨大意题。这篇短文将生活比喻成了一个包裹，这个包裹里有好的事情，也有坏的事情。我们要学会应对生活中出现的任何事情，以一颗平常心对待生活中黑暗的一面。并且告诉我们要把握现在。故这篇短文的中心话题就是life，生活。故D选项是最佳答案。A、B、C三个选项都太片面了。
