After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.”成功屬于那些即使在失敗之后仍敢積極思考并充滿信心地展望未來的人。畢竟，只有經(jīng)歷才能使人堅強。失敗并不意味著你永遠不會成功。這意味著它將花費更長的時間。它給我們提供了一個學習的經(jīng)驗?？芍髡邔戇@篇文章的目的是勸說人們面對挑戰(zhàn)或失敗時要大膽去對應，保持積極的心態(tài)。即作者寫這篇文章的目的是說服別人。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 A few hours after my first mission, returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour, I pleted all of my medical tests after flight, met with NASA officials, and reunited with my family. Finally, I was alone in my office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And I did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly mercials. It didn39。t take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just pletely foreign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had bee. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way. The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this bigpicture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly. When I39。m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don39。t seem that pressing. It goes that, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?

I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand。 I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering I want to be like him to myself as I watched him walking away. From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school39。s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall. These people like to plain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and passion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person39。s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the neverending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give
