　One of my favorite posters1 says, “ Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life you would have been instructed where to go and what to do.” Whenever I think of this humorous bit of wisdom2, it reminds me to not take my life so seriously. 　　When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to discover more about life. Whether you're being bombarded（攻击；质问） with problems,responsibilities,even insurmountable（不能克服的，不能超越的） difficulties, when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you. If, on the other hand, you see each new issue you face as a serious battle that must be won in order to survive, you're probably in for a very rocky6 journey. The only time you're likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right. And we all know how often that happens.
6 F1 j) j! p6 E# @% @0 V4 z　　As an experiment, see if you can apply this idea to something you are forced to deal with. Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents or you have a demanding7 boss. See if you can redefine the issue you face from being a “ problem” to being a test. Rather than8 struggling with your issue, see if there is something you can learn from it. Ask yourself, “ Why is this an issue in my life? What would it mean and what would be involved to rise above it? Could I possibly look at this issue any differently? Can I see it as a test of some kind?”

文章精要</p>　　议论文。本文作者建议人们将生活看成一个测验，以更好地应对生活中的种种困难和挫折。
/ Y' [! f7 X! {+ X8 N　　斟词酌句
　　demanding adj.过分要求的，苛求的
2 n; t0 i! i3 e8 G1 P/ k　　*To be a CEO of a big company is a real demanding job. 当大公司的执行总裁真的是一件费力的工作。
　　指点迷津
　　1.Had this been a real life you would have been instructed where to go and what to do. 本句用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反。句中省略了连词if。在书面语中条件从句可以不用连词if，只须将谓语中的过去式had移至主语之前即可。
　　2.Whether you're being bombarded with (problems,responsibilities,even insurmountable difficulties), when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that [which is challenging you].本句的主干是you always have a chance to succeed。whether和when分别引导让步和时间状语从句。注意looked在此处是一个省略用法，相当于they are looked。方括号里的从句是that的定语。句中“in the sense of”表示“从某种意义上来说(你总有机会成功)”。
! t- Q/ D+ k5 C2 L! |: a+ U　　试题精析
; {8 ^$ P1 Y. i+ L% N　　1.选B。本题为观点态度推断题。文中第一段第一句说作者“最喜欢的标语上写着：生活是个测验”，这句话暗示了作者的生活态度。
　　2.选C。本题为主要细节正误题。第二段第一句说“you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow”，选项C与其意思一致。
! J9 G5 i$ ]( u  a　　3.选A。本题为文章细节正误题。第二段第二句“……in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you”中的“rise above”与A选项中的“overcome”相呼应。
　　4.选D。本题为主要细节正误题。A选项与题干无关;B选项过于牵强;C选项在文中并无相应论述;从第三段第二句“Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents……”可知，D选项正确
　　5.选D。本题为主旨归纳题。A选项只在文章开头出现，后面就未再提及;B选项与原文意思相反;C选项和D选项相比，后者更加切题。
　　生活是个测验 仅仅是个测验
1 `$ ^1 H2 c: e: P+ [; ^" V' q& a- x　　我喜欢的一幅招贴画上面写有，“生活是个测验。仅仅是个测验。你要是真能直面人生，你便早会被告知何去何从。”每当我想起这颇有点幽默的人生哲理，它便提醒我不要把我的生活看得那么严肃。
　　当你把生活及其中的诸多挑战看成一个测验，或一系列测验，你便会将你面对的每一问题看作一次成长的机会，看作一次更深刻地发现生活的机会。不管你是否深陷种种问题、责任，甚至是不可逾越的障碍的围攻而不能自拔，当你将这一切视之为测验，你总有机会获胜——就是说你能超越挑战。但另一方面，如果你视你面临的每一新问题为一场严肃的、为了生存你必需赢得的战斗，那你恐怕就踏上了一个十分艰辛的旅程。你惟一的快乐时光便是一切都顺顺当当尽如人意。但我们都知道一切尽如人意的概率是多么得低。
　　作为试验，看看你能否把这一概念应用到你必须应付的某件事情中。也许你感觉有来自父母的很大压力，或者你有一位要求甚高的老板。看看你能否将你面临的“问题”重新定义为“测验”。与其和你的问题搏斗，不如看看你能从中学到点什么。问问自己，“为什么这成了我生活中的一个问题?它意味着什么，超越它我需要做些什么?我能否换个角度看看这问题?我能否视之为某种测验?”
' U( J- h, S4 ^4 }4 {+ b1 ]$ b8 C　　如果你试着用一用这一策略，你会惊奇地发现你对它的反应全变了。你会渐渐学会按照事情的本来面目接受它们。
