For 52 years my father got up at 5:30 am every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5:30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.

For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter.

On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me: my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm(動脈瘤) in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to. I vowed(發(fā)誓) that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

A. was a good driver B. had many hobbies

C. sometimes fell ill D. was in good health

2.The underlined phrase "other than" in the first paragraph has the same meaning as "______".

4. The author wrote the article in order to ______.

閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。

Let’s face the facts. On most occasions, some things may seem impossible, but in every impossibility, there is possibility. Impossible situations don’t last forever. While it might be impossible for one, it could still be possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.

Someone once said, “Success belongs to those who can look at challenges offered by the world as an inspiration.” So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be wonders if there are no difficulties? You need challenges to show your ability and success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in come out smiling.

Robert X. Perez once said, “The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes; failure is not defeat and it just directs you in the right direction. To fail is to understand what you should not do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved.”

What should you do when you face difficulties? Jasbeen says, “Yeah, life is difficult, but you shouldn’t give up. You should have a positive and calm attitude towards all your difficulties and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can accept failure and develop mental toughness. Mental toughness is to see the long-term pains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have an advantage of winning.”

The only thing in life you ever really regret is the chances you didn’t take. You will only regret when you are faced with the consequences of not taking chances and seizing the moment. Take every chance you can!

Everything you’ve done in life may be good or bad, but no matter what you may do, you must try your best. You must do something meaningful and do it right now.

A. what failure means

B. failure often happens

3.Which of the following is true according to the author?

A. We should try to make the most of every chance.

B. We should create more problems for your success.

C. Those who always have difficulties are more successful.

D. There are no impossible situations for anyone in the world.

4.The passage is mainly about _________.

A. how to face challenges
