Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. Sometimes we feel trapped， sometimes we feel sad， sometimes we are fearful， and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains， but we should never let these ________ keep us from following our dreams. Take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and we should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains! obstacles As a young girl， my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now， I am so glad that my parents made me take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves. We are all going to experience growing pains， but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time， but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! These pains are just small bumps (隆起) on our road to success， and our growing pains are actually growing gains! 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。我们在成长的过程中会遇到各种困难和挫折，而这些苦难都会成为人生的宝贵财富。 2 3 1 4 1.What does the underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Things that are related to your studies. B.Things that you easily achieve. C.Things that make you happy. D.Things that make it difficult for you to do something. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的“Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains”可知，此处表示我们绝不会让这些挑战和痛苦阻碍我们追寻梦想的脚步。obstacles与前面的challenges and pains是相对应的，应为“阻碍”。 2 3 1 4 2.How does the author now feel about what her parents did? A.She is fearful.　　　　　 B.She is grateful. C.She feels trapped. D.She feels hateful. 答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...I am so glad that my parents made me take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways.”可知，作者现在回想起来，对父母迫使她学音乐是很感激的，因为现在音乐已经在很多方面丰富了她的生活。 2 3 1 4 3.What can we know from the last paragraph? A.Life without challenges is dull. B.Life needs no pains but sunshine and happiness. C.We should give up facing challenges as the future is ours. D.We shouldn’t pay any hard work or sweat in growing up. 答案：A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Think about how we would feel...Life would be really boring and meaningless.”可知，作者认为没有挑战的生活是非常无聊和没有意义的。 2 3 1 4 4.What does the author want to tell us? A.Life is full of hardships. B.Growing pains can turn into growing gains. C.Everyone is painful when growing up. D.Everyone should do what they don’t like when young. 答案：B 2 3 1 4 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段最后一句中的“we should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains”和最后一段最后一句中的“our growing pains are actually growing gains”可知，作者用自己的亲身经历表明要积极面对成长中的苦与痛，并将这些转换成人生的成长和收获。 Ⅳ.完形填空 I was born legally blind.
