The essay “The Peanut” teaches us that being useful is more important than being attractive. But does this mean that everyone should be like a peanut? 1.______________ On one hand, the peanut represents humility, hard work and usefulness. People like this do their jobs quietly and make important contributions to society. 2.______________ They don’t seek attention, but their work speaks for itself. On the other hand, apples and peaches also have their place in the world. 3.______________ Their beauty attracts people and can inspire others. Artists, performers and leaders often need to be seen and heard in order to make a difference. Perhaps the answer is that both types of people are needed. 4.______________ The peanut-like people do the essential work that keeps society running. The apple-like people can inspire and lead others. What matters most is not whether you are like a peanut or an apple, but whether you are true to yourself and make a positive contribution. 5.______________ A. The world needs both the peanuts and the apples. B. They are useful in different ways. C. There are different kinds of people, and each has a role to play. D. They add colour and beauty to our world. E. This is a question worth thinking about. F. Being like a peanut is the only way to live a meaningful life. 七、阅读理解 Living a Meaningful Life What does it mean to live a meaningful life? Different people have different answers to this question. For some, meaning comes from achieving great things and being recognized by others. For others, meaning comes from quietly helping others and making a difference in small ways. The essay “The Peanut” offers one perspective. It suggests that being useful is more important than being attractive or seeking praise. The peanut grows underground, hidden from view, but it provides food and nourishment. Similarly, people who work behind the scenes often make the most important contributions to society. However, this does not mean that everyone should hide their talents. Some people are meant to shine, like apples and peaches. They inspire others with their beauty, creativity and leadership. These people also have an important role to play in the world. In fact, a healthy society needs both kinds of people. It needs quiet workers who do essential jobs without seeking recognition. It also needs visible leaders who can inspire and guide others. What matters most is that each person finds their own way to contribute and does so with sincerity and purpose. 1. What does the essay “The Peanut” suggest about living a meaningful life? A.

Others are like apples and peaches, visible and attractive to everyone. Both have value, but they are valued in different ways. The Peanut Way People who follow the peanut way are humble and hard-working. They don’t seek attention or praise. They do their jobs well and help others without expecting anything in return. They find satisfaction in knowing that they are useful. They are often overlooked, but their work is essential. Doctors, nurses, teachers and volunteers often represent this way of living. The Apple Way People who follow the apple way are visible and inspiring. They use their talents to lead, create and motivate others. They often receive recognition for their work, and they use this recognition to inspire more people. Artists, leaders, performers and writers often represent this way of living. Which Is Better? Neither way is better than the other. A healthy society needs both. The peanut-like people keep things running smoothly. The apple-like people inspire progress and change. What matters is not which way you choose, but that you do something useful with your life.
