You think this is an easy thing, but in fact, it is very difficult,” Socrates answered seriously. Hearing this, all the students laughed even harder. Without being a little angry, Socrates said, “In this class I’ll teach you how to learn this action well. After that, start today, and you will do it 100 times a day.”10 days later, Socrates asked, “Who still insists(坚持) on swinging his arms?” About 80% of the students raised their hands. 20 days later, Socrates asked again, “Who still insists on swinging his arms?” About 50% of them raised their hands. 3 months later, Socrates asked again, “Who still insists on the simplest action of swinging?” This time only one student raised his hand. He was Plato. From this example, we can see that perseverance is the easiest but the most difficult thing in the world, because everyone can do it, but not everyone will do it. Only the one who can insist on an easy thing may make it! 1. What did all the students think of swinging arms back? A. It was very interesting. B. It was too simple. C. It was so exciting. D.

You think this is an easy thing, but in fact, it is very difficult”可知，所有的学生都认为苏格拉底让他们做的事是简单的，故选B。 2. 词义猜测题。根据“10 days later, Socrates asked...20 days later...3 months later...This time only one student raised his hand.”以及“we can see that perseverance is the easiest but the most difficult thing in the world, because everyone can do it, but not everyone will do it. Only the one who can insist on an easy thing may make it!”可知，随着时间的过去，越来越少的学生坚持下来了，而坚持下来的这些学生都是有毅力的，所以单词“perseverance”指的是“毅力”，即坚持做某件事情，故选B。 3. 篇章结构题。根据整个文章的理解可知，文章第一、二、三段分别讲述了苏格拉底让学生坚持做简单动作的情况，最后一段总结文章，得出哲理，所以A选项的结构符合文章的篇章结构，故选A。 4. 最佳标题题。根据“Today, we’ll only learn one thing, that is, to stretch(前伸) for your arms, and then try to swing them back.”和“Who still insists on the simplest action of swinging?”以及“Only the one who can insist on an easy thing may make it!”可知，本文主要讲了苏格拉底让学生做最简单的动作，看谁能够最终坚持下来的故事，因此标题是“你能每天摆动手臂100次吗”，故选D。 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Wisdom counts Section 1 Reading分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、单项选择 1.My dream is to write interesting stories for kids and become a great ______ one day.
