D. “As You Like It” is a tragedy. B “Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed (破坏) by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could be perfect if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became well-known. He got the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy (使……满足) him and bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still liked by many people today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 27. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army. ②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became well-known. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 28. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To be a perfect person. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 29. According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy? A. Family. B. Success. C. Wealth. D. Life. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
