Life Is Difficult

①Life Is Difficult.

②This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.（承上句）

③Most people do not fully see this truth that life is difficult.

④Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. (1)They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.（承上、总结的句子）

本部分重点及难点：

1. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited

upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.

visitsth. on / upon sb./sth. （古）inflict（造成，使遭受）punishment on sb./sth. 对某人/某物进行惩罚

visit the sins of the parents upon their children相当于make the children suffer for their parent's failings 使子女因父母之过错而受惩罚

⑤Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?

⑥ Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems.（主题句）Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems.

⑦What make life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a

painful one. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration of grief, sadness, loneliness, guilt, regret, anger, fear, anxiety, anguish, despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain. (2)Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems.（承上启下句）(3)And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

本部分重点及难点：

2. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems. 强调句。去掉it is…that…剩下的部分成立。

3. And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

pose an endless series of problems

pose threat

pose danger

pose for a picture

⑧(4)Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge

and encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we deliberately

set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn. （承上启下句）As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.

本文出现最多的结构是强调结构。本段中的强调结构有：

（1）Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning.

（2）It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. （本句的语序要留意）

比较：Only because of problems do we grow mentally and spiritually.

类似的还有not until…被强调时，例如：

It was not until midnight that the party broke up.

Not until midnight did the party break up.

（3）It is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.

（4）It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.

P201 Bridging the Gap

Directions: Fill in the blanks with a word or a phrase that best completes the passage. You may choose a suitable one from the list given.

解题方法：把词分类

动词名词形容词连词介词

focus on the middle inner but than

fit sense

satisfy

thinking of

sense

challenged

The purpose of life is to 1 satisfy the soul, and though acknowledging your accomplishments can help in this effort, it cannot take you the full distance（全程）. The only thing that can satisfy your soul is an answer to the question, who am I? You are an individualized expression of life, of greater consequence and

magnitude 2 than anything you will ever accomplish.

When we 3 focus on the fact that we are enough now, the beginning, 4 the middle and the end of every journey - whether it's finding a mate or getting a better job - is filled

with a 5sense of well-being（幸福感）. We may complete an experience and even be thrilled by the outcome, 6 but we know that we are no more complete than when we started out.

You see, we are either enough right now or we're not; and if we are, then

we're 7challenged by our enoughness to live that way.

The problem is, most of us don't listen to the 8 inner voice that says, "You're enough because you exist." We ignore it because being enough doesn't 9 fit the image we have ourselves. We have spent so much time 10 thinking of ourselves as not being enough that enoughness seems very far away. We may have a sense of being surrounded by the Life Force（生命的力量）, but we forget that the Life Force is also within us. And if the Life Force is within us, we are enough.

It seems lately that more and more of my friends are facing

some seemingly insurmountable challenges in their lives. A few have lost their

jobs and some have failed marriages. All too many have health issues or are battling cancer.

(3)I don't know if it is desperation that causes them to turn to me for advice or whether they have come to value our friendship. But it is difficult, to say the least, to offer words of hope when all they feel is hopelessness. They expect answers, some magic waving of a wand, or a roadmap to get them back on their feet again.

I have often struggled with what to say. Mostly because I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life, I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like, "Keep your chin up!" "Things will get better!" "Hang in there!" "it's always darkest…," etc.

Yes, even those who were quick to quote the Bible to me found me

quite unreceptive at the time.

Now, as an inspiration writer, being thought of as a resource of hope or a good (or bad) example of what to do in life, I have even more people contacting me.

So, what do I say?

"What can I do, Bob? I've lost my job. What do you suggest?"

"Begin again."

(4) "He walked out on me. My whole world just ended. What should I do?"

"Begin again."

"Bob, I know both your son and your wife had cancer. I found out my wife does, too. What did you tell them?"

"Begin again."

It almost sounds too simple. I imagine in the darkest hours of one's life, those words would seem useless or uncaring. But it is indeed the answer.

All life challenges bring about an ending - and the chance for a beginning. A job loss presents an opportunity to start over somewhere else and maybe even in another career.

(5)A failed marriage does not mean you are through loving or being loved. It means there are others just like you needing to be loved. Find them.

A life-threatening disease does not mean giving up. It means starting a new path to recovery and discovering within yourself the ability to fight back and win.

And if you are a person of faith, even death does not mean it's over. It means, "to begin again."

本部分重点及难点：

3. I don't know if it is desperation that causes them to turn to me for advice or whether they have come to value our friendship.

turn to sb. for sth.

turn to sb. for comfort

turn to sb. for help / advice

4. "He walked out on me…."

He walked out on me.=He deserted / abandoned / dumped me.

5. A failed marriage does not mean you are through loving or being loved. be through loving or being loved

be through (with) 完成；结束

例如：

When will you be through with your work?

Mary and Tom are through.

be through with sb. 与某人断绝关系

be through with drinking / smoking 不再喝酒/吸烟

Unit 1 Text A How Difficult Is English? 英语有多难 Like the national push for Asian literacy （n.有文化，有教养，有读写能力）in Australia，就如澳大利亚在全国推行学亚洲语言一样，there has been foreign languages fervor[f??v?] in China，中国也掀起一股外语热，with English on top of the list. 在这股热潮中，英语高居榜首。English is not only taught at schools，colleges and universities，but also at evening classes，on radio and TV．不仅各级学校教英语，夜校、电台、电视台也都设有英语课程。Parents hire private tutors for their school children；父母为学龄的孩子聘请英语家教，adult English learners would sacrifice the weekend at an English corner in a public park practicing their spoken English with peop1e of the same interest and determination. 成年英语学习者会牺牲周末休息日，到公园参加英语角，与志趣相投的英语学习者练习口语。Is English such a difficult language that it really demands people to invest a large amount of time and energy before it is mastered ? 英语真的有这么难，需要人们投入大量的时间和精力才能掌握吗? The answer，if I am asked to offer，is undoubtedly，yes．如果我被问及这个问题，那么毫无疑问，我的答案是：是的。From my personal experience, 从我个人的经验来看，I think learning English means far more than learning its pronunciation，its grammatical rules，its words，etc．英语学习不仅仅是学习英语发音、语法规则、词汇等，It involves learning everything about the countries where it is used and the people who use it．它包括学习与使用该语言的国家和民族有关的所有内容。Without such a complete understanding of the language, 对英语没有这样全面的理解，the English a foreigner speaks will inevitably sound strange or even unintelligible though there is not anything wrong with his pronunciation，sentence structure and the words he uses．即使发音、句子结构、措辞毫无错误，一个外国人所讲的英语也难免听起来稀奇古怪甚至难以理解。The social customs and habits of the English-speaking people contribute a lot to the difficulty a foreigner has in learning it．讲英语民族者的社会风俗习惯增加了外国人学习英语的难度。Take the Chinese English learners for example．以学英语的中国人为例，" Hello "and "Good morning" may sound a little bit simple to Chinese people．"你好"和"早上好"是非常简单的。It is totally beyond the understanding of a Chinese English learner that native English speakers would be annoyed when they're addressed "Where are you going?"，which is a commonly used addressing among the Chinese．"你去哪儿?"是中国人常用的问候语，若英语母语者被问及"你去哪儿?"，他们会因此感到不悦，这一点让中国的英语学习者大为不解。Is there anything wrong with the English sentence structure ? 这个英语句子结构不对吗? Of course not．当然不是。It takes quite some time for a Chinese English learner to understand the western concept of privacy being violated in this address. 学英语的中国人得费点儿时间才能理解这一问候语侵犯了西方人的隐私。By the same token，同样，"Have you eaten?"(which is another addressing term the Chinese people usually use)will sound to native English speakers that the Chinese are so hospitable that they invite people to meals off-handedly. 英语母语者听到"你吃了吗?"(中国人常用的另外一个问候语)，会觉得中国人非常好客，会在事先毫无准备的情况下请人吃饭。Meanwhile，the Chinese would be shocked to hear，"Oh，it's very nice of you．When?"，if the addressee happens to have a craving for Chinese cooking and has not had his dinner yet.如果听话者此刻正希望品尝一下中国美食，又碰巧没有吃饭，他会回答"太好了，什么时候?"，中国人为此也会大吃一惊。 "We can say we are going to have chicken for dinner．Why can't we say pig，bull or sheep for dinner instead of pork，beef or mutton?" Chinese English learners may raise such questions．中国的英语学习者可能会这样问："我们可以说吃鸡，为什么不能说吃猪、吃牛、吃羊，而要说吃猪肉、牛肉、羊肉呢?"Figuring out the reasons for the peculiar English vocabulary is no easy task for Chinese English learners．对学习英语的中国人来说，为这些特殊的英语词汇找出理由并非易事。But the problem is that memorizing English words mechanically would be devastating and inefficient if they did not know what had happened in British history．问题在于如果不懂英国历史，死记硬背英语单词毫无效率。Thus learning English(and other languages as well)involves learning the history of the countries where it is spoken．所以说，学英语(其他语言亦如此)还包括学习使用该语言国家的历史知识。A task of this kind is more difficult for Chinese English learners than for people who speak
