• 1．When Boris left school，he could not find a job.He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps.Boris began to lose his confidence，then depressed.Still he went on trying and still he failed.He began to think that he had no future at all.
     "Why don't you start your own business？" one of his uncles told him. "The world is a money-locker.You'd better find a way of opening it."
     "But what can I do？"
     "Get out and have a look round." advised his uncle. "See what people want；then give it to them，and they will pay for it."
     Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end.Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.He worked hard，made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame.A few months later，he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself.He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other problems.But at long last，he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.

• 3．Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and，having gained it，to learn how to use it properly．Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round．It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes．But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them．These same men can be found there day after day，and，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community．If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness，then each one should have been happy．Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda．They knew，each one of them，that their productivity had ceased（停止）．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying．And it is even so with man．
     What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible．The words were few，but they became memorably impressed in my mind． "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread．"
     To me，that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections （memories）．In fact，the battle of life．Of existence．Is a challenge to everyone．The immortal words of St．Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me．At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith．
  
  （1）Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph？

  
  A．Wealth results from honest effort．
  B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life．
  C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda．
  D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees．
  （2）The underlined sentence "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread" means

  ．
  A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
  B．No pains，no gains
  C．Failure is the mother of success
  D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
  （3）We learn from the passage that the author

  ．
  A．was a wealthy person in the community
  B．held a positive attitude towards an active life
  C．was fond of associating with celebrities（名人）
  D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
  （4）What is implied in the passage by the writer？

  
  A．To use wealth properly，eat，drink and be merry．
  B．Where there is a will，there is a way．
  C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree．
  D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live．
