21、（C） for（D）with51 Life is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represen
22、t a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or a
23、nger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes endless serious problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the
24、serious tests that tell us success from failure.

36、and of the world s young children die every day. This is 15 million a year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the lives of half of these children. The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost. The biggest task has been to
37、inform parents about these life-saving techniques.Diarrhea(腹泻 )is the main cause of deaths among children in developing countries. Diarrhea results when the body tries to clear itself of harmful bacteria(细菌). The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably. If too much water, sug
38、ar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work normally. The child may die.The United Nations International Children s Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique. It uses a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water. The mixture does not stop diarrhea. But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid(体液
39、)levels normal until the body has fought off the harmful bacteria. In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a children s health care program in the province of Alexandria. It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea. The technique has now been used throughout the country.6

Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most important American contribution(贡献)to in
43、ternational eating habits.The name “hamburger“ has nothing to do with ham(火腿). It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg some time in the 1850s. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.Now young people
44、in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move: a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other.

45、 stop at all.However, there are clouds over the hamburger s world. People who concern about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger.
